A collection of phrases and overheard conversations:
Lots of people have been critical of President Obama's first year in office. Its hard for a lot of people to truly understand the impact that he has made on most african americans as he has given new hope to those without much of a past. Thos destitute now have someone to look up to and have a beacon of hope.
There is a growing concern that Obama's allegiances are not so much split, but that he is not completely for the african american race as he should be. Unlike Martin and Malcolm, he not only is the voice of a race but of the most powerful country in the world. Whereas there allegiances and energies were completely poured into the black race, Obama never had that luxury and was forced to relate to all people rather than a specific segment. Some people resent this and wish he could all be for ourselves.

I loved everything you wrote. I agree with you, people do not understand the impact he has made on the United States and the changes he has made for the future. One more thing, you forgot the e off of those in the last sentence first stanza.
