President Obama's coalition came through for him big time on Election Day, and now members of the coalition want him to return the favor.
African-Americans, who backed Obama with 93 percent of their votes, are calling on Obama to pursue new jobs programs and make sure that budget cuts do not fall too heavily on middle- and lower-class Americans.
"I think the president heard us loud and clear," said the Rev. Al Sharpton, reports the Associated Press.
