Barber Shops: Beauty Salons and Radio Interview

barber shops: The president put the current situation bluntly. "The African-American vote right now is not as solid as it needs to be," he said in a radio interview that aired Wednesday, according to Hamilton Spectator. He described the conversations going on in the barber shops and beauty salons of black neighbourhoods — "We love Barack, we especially love Michelle, and so it was exciting, and now we're not excited as much" — then urged voters to help cement his legacy by electing his preferred successor. Advance voting data shows a dip from the record-smashing participation in 2012 where African-Americans made history by surpassing whites in turnout percentage. Betty Soulfood Restaurant is the kind of place he talking about. His likeness graces every wall: there an Obama calendar, an Obama picture, a sketch of Obama with Martin Luther King Jr., and, peering out from behind the coffee-maker, an image of Obama in sunglasses. In this popular African-American-run spot off the main Florida highway, it impossible to ignore the affection for the first black president. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
