Though he admits that President Barack Obama has faced an “unfair” amount of opposition from the GOP, the Rev. Jesse Jackson believes the Obama administration should have been more direct in dealing with issues affecting black people, such as unemployment.

Jackson’s disappointment with Obama’s record as it pertains to empowering black people was expressed in a new interview with the International Business Times. In his eyes, the president has fallen short.

“[Pres. Obama] has the view that racial injustice is something that requires a vote [in Congress],” Jackson told IBT. “Blacks are without a targeted plan. Without one, we’ll never have an even playing field.”
