Just 3 years ago, black Americans danced in the streets as they celebrated the election of the first black man as president of these United States.

Now those same supporters — mainly among the black bourgeoisie class — are ready to impeach U.S. President Barack Obama, who came into office with generous handouts for the rich bankers who caused the mortgage crisis.

In a Sun Times article about the disappearing middle class, Princeton Professor Cornel West accused Obama of selling out the poor to become “a black mascot of Wall Street [bankers] and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats.”

West told truthdig.com:

“I thought Barack Obama could have provided some way out. But he lacks backbone… I don’t think in good conscience I could tell anybody to vote for Obama.”

Obama announced today that he couldn’t guarantee retirees will receive their Social Security checks starting Aug. 3 if the two parties in Congress cannot come up with a deal to raise the nation’s debt ceiling. He didn’t mention it, but the government won’t be sending out welfare checks or EBT cards either.

“I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue,” Obama said in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley. “Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.”

But earlier today, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), accused the president of using scare tactics instead of finding a working solution to the debt crisis.

“After years of discussions and months of negotiations, I have little question that as long as this president is in the Oval Office, a real solution is probably unattainable
