I think members of these organizations can support re-election of President Obama for a lot more than just being black. Duh. I can't pretend to know what the American media has been saying about the president but if you list out the substantial (and controversial) things he's accomplished, a person might start to think there are parties out there who just want to bring him down regardless of the facts. (/sarcasm )

I wish he had taken more risks over the last 4 years, and I'd like to see him win re-election to handle a couple more issues that I think can probably only be handled by a lame-duck president - Cuba for instance. And bringing down Citizens United. And finding a reason to throw the Koch brothers in jail. They've done such a great job of keeping racism and hate alive in America; having a bunch of smart, powerful, savvy black men go after them would be awesome.

And by the way, people vote for president because he's "like me" all the time. What was this crap about voting for Bush because you could drink a beer with him? If a bunch of educated successful professional black guys (and gals of course) want to vote for President Obama because he's like them, what's the problem?
