Barack Obama on
African-American Voters
"I don't think the Democratic Party takes the African-American voters for granted. I want Republicans to compete for the African-American vote. They're not getting the African-American vote not because African-Americans aren't open-minded, but because Democrats have consistently championed those issues -- civil rights, voting rights, concern for working families -- that are of greatest concern to African-American voters."
