I think about that a lot. But, it was black America that turned out in droves and voted like robots for the most inexperienced representative of their race. It is shameful that they voted with their race and not with their brains.
As a woman, I would never blindly vote for a woman candidate, in fact I have constantly thought the world does not respect women enough yet to even warrant a woman candidate. I have always said no to that, but Palin may change my mind. Maybe VP first.
I'm not so sure it was all about race. If it was, a Condi Rice, Colin Powell or J.C Watts would have been voted for in the same percentages. Instead, the black Democratic block vote went for the black Democratic candidate. Party was first, race was secondary.
Margret Thatcher and Golda Meier did very well.
I would have voted for them. I am a guy.
Nine months later, that voting block has discovered that beyond this, Obama is a racist himself. When greeted with cop doing his job and an arrogant, elitist black college professor, he automatically assumes with no knowledge of the facts that "the police behaved stupidly."
Now, that white voting block is beginning to complain about the President's policies and plans, and of course this massive drop in the president's approval ratings has produced the expected knee-jerk cries of "RACISM!!!" from Obama's followers. You and I know this is only a reaction to his views, because if this shift is really racism, then it means that 30% of America actually had no idea Obama was black when they elected him.
But, it was black America that turned out in droves and voted like robots for the most inexperienced representative of their race.
Obama hasn’t failed black Americans, black Americans have failed America.
Right. Because we all know that white Democratic candidates for President never get 90+ percent of the black vote. So it had to be about his race.
