He only has blacks, hispanics, gays, and single women supporting him. he’s lost everyone else who voted for him.

A recurring character in old Western movies was the “halfbreed” who hated his white parent and all whites more than any full blood Apache or Comanche or whatever tribe he was from could ever hate whites. Is life imitating art here?

Anyone who paid attention to this half white candidate who made it a point to keep telling the voters that he is a “black” man committed immeasurable foolishness to think that he ever meant to be the “post-racial” president. Why is it that so many “academic elites” with advanced degrees are incapable of seeing what is to so many of us “uneducated” types as blatantly obvious as Joe Biden’s goofiness?

People of any stripe don’t appreciate being lied to.

***************************

He is losing some of them, too. More slowly, but he is.

The trough people are solid behind him. All the people who eat at the trough. Unions, government, welfare.

There are a lot of politically unaware folk out there. I don’t understand it, but they just aren’t interested in how this country got where it is or why.

I was talking to one before the election and could not convince her Obama was not pro abortion. “But he’s a Christian!” She just didn’t think he was that bad.

I spoke to her again last month. She liked that “Alaska lady”. She didn’t like Obama anymore at all.

There is an old Cab Calloway song called “Yellow Man” that deals with the ambivalence and alienation of being a mulatto.

In BO’s case, his alleged father jettisoned him once and early on, his mother jettisoned him over and over.

Still, we choose what we become. Character is fate.

He is a chop off the old “reverend jeremiah wright”.

He's worse then Rev. Wright. Wright, at one time in his life, volunteered and served honorably in two branches of the military in an era where draft avoidance was chic. He then tried to start a legitimate church and found no market for it.

But he found a huge market for a "hate whitey" church and people like Obama sought him out.

I'm not sure Rev. Wright even believes half the drivel he preaches. But it is pretty plain that Obama does!

My wife voted for this asswipe. She did so despite my showing her documentation regarding his past as a youth and his limited tenure as a Sen., not to mention his relationship with Frank Marshall Davis and William Ayers and his voting record in the Senate. She TOTALLY bought into the “Palin is stupid” spin but cannot give one reason or example to back it up. According to my wife “Palin is a bimbo”

Her reason for voting for Ostupid? I herein quote,”John McCain has a temper”

How smart were our Founding Fathers when they refused to allow women to vote?

That’s it folks, her entire reason for not voting Republican.

Yeah, well, I am personally acquainted with a white man in his 60s who, the day of the election, came over to DH's parent's house and announced,"Well, I just voted for the [CENSORED RACIAL EPITHET]." His reasoning for voting for a candidate he despised? He's a union member and he "always votes for the Democrat".

When you deny your race, even half of it, that part does have a tendency to get p!ssed off.

"Didn’t these morons know this beforehand?"

Yes, but they chose to ignore it.

Anyone with any brain cells will desert Obama. All but the liberals. They're thinking process is sideways and forever stilted.

I won’t talk to her about this. What I did was tell her the new kitchen she was planning on his on hold, indefinitely until it is known how much our taxes will be going up due to this massive debt increase Odouchbag has saddled us with.

She’s pissed but won’t dare challenge me when it comes to money because she know herself how clueless she is in this area. We’re married 45 years and I have always controlled when and if a major purchase is made.

I was raised in the 50’s when woman stayed home, raised the kids, cleaned and cooked. It was a better time then and my values have not changed a bit.

My wife’s friends call me a sexist and a Dinosaur but my wife has always gotten whatever she has wanted (until now).

What some of those white liberals or semi progresives found was that obama isn’t neutral on race and hates his white supporters almost as much as his white opponents.

They’re feeling a bit kicked in the shins and don’t like it.
