SPC Andrew Griffin - He has been ineffective in the past 6 years of his presidency and I see nothing that indicates he will be any more effective in the time he has left in office. Although I think it is wrong to even suggest he should do anything for the "African American Community", as whatever he does should be for everyone, not any particular group that is designated by their race, I think the biggest thing he could do for African Americans is to do whatever he can to rebuild the family structure that is missing in the majority of those families, particularly in the big cities.

He should do whatever he can to address the black-on-black crime and murders. If he spent half as much time in addressing that issue as he does supporting the "Black Lives Matter" and the Treyvon Martin and Michael Brown nonsense, maybe he can actually accomplish something good for this country before he leaves office. To me, that would certainly be a worthwhile legacy for him to pursue.

Brother, NOT A DAMN THING. I say this not to be negative and diminish who and what he is, but as POTUS he's bigger than his skin color. He represents all of America (or at least should be), and is the face of America when dealing with other state leaders. While I'm not a complete Obama fanboy, I do admire him in he stayed true to his beliefs. I don't care what anyone can pull for "facts and figures" this is MY belief. I feel he was someone who is personable and approachable. I think he's the first president who showed the world the presidency can have a sense of humor, be human and professional. He doesn't hide behind his position with his feelings; he damn near cried on the podium after this last mass shooting. The BEST THING he could do with his remaining time in office is be the best president he can, go out strong. Stay true to his beliefs and don't waffle now that the light's bright at the end of the tunnel. Keep America as a whole's beliefs and protection close to his heart and Soldier on.
