CAPEHART: I’ve already dealt with the unrealistic expectations of some of Obama’s black critics who apparently never tire of questioning his care and concern for the black community. Still, I firmly believe that most African Americans know the truth. It’s never comfortable to hear tough love from a family member. But sometimes you need family to tell you hard truths to bring about some sort of change. We’ve gone from having presidents who talk at us or about us like we’re not even part of the firmament of this country to having a president who IS us. That he is willing to say out loud for all to hear what we murmur in private is why he gets the applause and ovations his critics refuse to hear. wapo.st/1nJzNz3
