Diddy, Puffy, <em>and<\/em> just plain Diddy, isn\u2019t happy with Obama\u2019s presidency. He recently expressed his dissatisfaction with how the black community has fared over the last eight years to none other than the Rev. Al Sharpton.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The rapper turned business mogul said his number one priority is black people and feels that the president didn\u2019t quite meet his expectations of what should\u2019ve been done to help inner city communities:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI feel like we put President Obama in the White House and when I look back, I just wanted more done for my people because that\u2019s the name of the game. This is politics. You put somebody in office, you get in return the things that you care about for your communities. I think we got a little bit shortchanged. And that\u2019s not knocking the president, a lot\u2019s going on, a lotta balls juggling \u2014 he\u2019s done an excellent job. But I think it\u2019s time to turn up the heat.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Combs didn\u2019t say what he thought was lacking in the black community but like any good Democrat, he apparently expected big things \u2014 free things, no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>For the upcoming election, Combs said the black vote would be the deciding factor. As a friend to both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, Combs encouraged blacks to hold their vote and make the candidates come and get it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe any of them,\u201d Combs added.<\/p>\n<p>He specifically said he feels \u201churt\u201d by Clinton for not speaking directly to the black community and urged her to do so quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Combs is from the school of thought that the federal government is the provider of programs for the less fortunate, he took some initiative and opened a charter school in Harlem after seeing a need. That\u2019s the way it should happen! Hopefully Diddy comes to understand that individuals are better at making things happen than the government.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click CONTINUE to watch the
