Bob Keefe: Black members of Congress growing impatient with Obama

"On Friday, members of the Congressional Black Caucus -- which includes four members from Georgia -- are planning a news conference where they are expected to say President Barack Obama hasn't done enough to specifically address joblessness in minority communities across the country.

"Tension between the 42-member black caucus and Obama has been building for months. Some members of the group who complained about what they consider years of neglect and indifference by the George W. Bush administration now say they're growing increasingly frustrated with the Obama administration, too.

"Last week, 10 members of the black caucus boycotted a House committee meeting until some of their demands were included in banking reform legislation that Obama wants passed.

"And earlier this week, after Obama gave a speech on jobs, black caucus chairwoman U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) said the president needs to do more to help jobless minorities."
