Cornel West and Tavis Smiley have been two of Barack Obama's most vocal critics. What do you make of their claims that the president has ignored the poor?

The president hasn't done more for the poor because it's been politically difficult.

The pair's complaints are not valid. The president has shown great concern for the poor.

They're legitimate complaints but the pair's personal grievances have obscured the real issues.

The president hasn't done more for the poor because he's indifferent.

They're legitimate complaints and Smiley and West are right to voice them.
