Obama to meet with black leaders on the economy

In the morning, the president is scheduled to meet with black leaders in the Oval Office to talk about the economy and jobs. Among those expected to attend are Benjamin Jealous of the NAACP, Marc Morial of the National Urban League, the Rev. Al Sharpton of the National Action Network and Dr. Dorothy Height of the National Council of Negro Women.

Qualifications: they're negroes. That's it. So much for beyond race.
