For those who say Obama “didn’t do enough for Black people,” Barack says “I understand it” but explained, “there’s no way in 8 years to make up for 200 years.” Though there were all kinds of hopes and expectations with his election to the highest office in the land, the Presidency isn’t a monarchy and he couldn’t just snap his fingers and get whatever he wanted done as a Republican senate kept him from getting things done (vote every two years, not just four). Still, he points at the rise of millions of Black people with medical insurance and decline in Black poverty and incarceration rate as some statistics he can hang his hat on. “I can just look at the data and I can say millions of Black folks were better off at the time I left office than when I came in.” He’s right.
