Dinkins: Obama Should Have Done More in NY
November 6th, 2009
David Dinkins, the first African-American mayor of New York City calls out President Obama for not doing more to help out the Democratic candidate Bill Thompson who lost to incumbent Michael Bloomberg.
From New York Post:
“The president should’ve done more. He found time to go to Virginia, he found time to go to New Jersey and he should’ve been here,” former Mayor David Dinkins, who was in office from 1990 through 1993.
He was referring to Obama’s stumping with New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, who lost to Republican Chris Christie this week, and Virginia Democrat Creigh Deeds, who lost the gubernatorial race to GOP candidate Bob McDonnell.
By comparison, the country’s first black president gave the most lukewarm of endorsements to Thompson, who lost to Mayor Bloomberg by a mere 5 points on Tuesday.

You know I am very disappointed that former Mayor David Dinkins would even make a comment like this. I remember not too long ago when he was the Mayor of New York and similar criticism was made against him. You have to be very careful when casting stones. Politics is very organized & very dirty people forget that everyone has their own special interests & agenda. The President was trying to help in two elections that were higher posts Governorship. Bloomberg with all his $$$ & friends already had the NY election for Mayor we just waited for the accouncement. Besides that, where were all the powerful Black Leadership when it came to Thompson? That is who really is responsible for getting their man of interests in office. Where were the Black voters? Divided, not everyone felt Thompson was the candiate they wanted or represented their interests. We can not fault the President for what we fail to do as a whole. Stop passing judgement & stand up & be accountable for your own communites. Mr Dinkins almost died trying to run NYC & as I recall was only a one term Mayor. I supported him & voted for him when I was a NYC resident. There is only so much you can do in one term. Our expectations for the President is so high & he only has a year under his belt, yet he has 12 yrs worth of problems to resolve.
President nothingness is showing that he is superficially the best you people can offer. He is not dinkum at all .

I must admit I admire President Obama but I am so disappointed when it came to him giving Mr. Micheal Jackson his due respect, I am behind you Mr. President but I will not forget the “DISRESPECT” you did regarding the lost of the King of Pop Mr. MIcheal Jackson. You lost some points with me on that issue. I wish you knew what you did by not acknowledging him personally.
Here are ten points that were argued at Saturday’s healthcare reform meeting

President Obama is of mixed race and raised predominately by his white family. In America whites have dominated everything, so most of his views are going to be like those he was raised with. If he had been born and raised in a poor, black neighborhood part of the time, he would understand first-hand the plight of the poor and black and would have done something immediately to help the suffering of those people because he would have lived it himself. I know he is torn between what is right…because all of us have a free will to do something about injustice or not. When one is surrounded by the well-to-do and their problems — its hard to realize what the not so well-to-do are going through.
I really like and agree with what you said Fanita.
I really don’t understand why people are so impatient. It took us 8 years to get into increasing unemployment and a bad economy and President Obama cannot get us out of this mess in 10 months. It going to take longer than that and he cannot do it by himself, he is just one person. You can always tell who the republicans are, always knocking a solution down without offering a solution or adding to one.
Of all the important situations the President has to deal with Micheal Jackson is not one of them,he is trivial.
