Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are headed to the White House for a meeting on jobs Thursday, and theyโ€™ll have a few words to say about how President Barack Obama is doing his. The 43-member caucus is fighting through one of the most difficult periods in its 39-year history, and some members and aides said theyโ€™re getting far too little support from the nationโ€™s first black president โ€” a man they once believed would be their strongest champion. House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) told POLITICO that White House officials are โ€œnot listeningโ€ to black lawmakers. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) said โ€œthereโ€™s not enough attention to poor people.โ€ And Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) said: โ€œWhile I respect President Obama, delivering victories for his political future should be the least of our worries on Capitol Hill.โ€
