"What's clear is that we have a president who gets it," Jealous said. He accused Republican lawmakers and governors of obstructing Obama on initiatives like stimulus spending and a push to overhaul health insurance. Those efforts would help minorities, he said."

Thank you, Mr. Jealous.

2. About the fifth paragraph down. Not being able to implement

5. Ben Jealous was saying what he needed to say

And, Obama needed to say what he needed to say, as President of ALL of the people of the United States of America.
