True, but no other demographic in the country voted so monolithically for Obama, than did blacks. They've got an emotional investment in the man that runs deeper than political ideology.
Star Parker correctly points out that blacks who supported Obama solely because of the color of his skin, have been taken for a ride by the Marxist liberal's policies.
What about the "Whites that voted for Obama" were they not taken for a ride themselves? After all, the majority of welfare recipients, the poor, are White; and I think people assume that Obama got what they perceive as the downtrodden being a Black vote.
Obama was the first Democrat since Carter to win a Popular-Vote Majority. It was said he won a larger proportion of White votes than any previous non-incumbent Democratic presidential candidate since Carter; and also won 54 percent of all White Voters age 18 to 29 [ the ones supposedly looking for work], to McCain's 44 percent.
The % of Democrats who went to the polls increased 2.6 percentage points vs the % of Republicans went down 1.3 percentage points. What If Republicans had shown up to vote instead of sitting it out?
So to me both White and Black[or any other color that falls under the same demographics] were taken for a ride, never mind that some may have voted for his skin color as whites also voted for a black man for president to show how far we have come since the days of slavery. I mean we can all agree, it is a monumental event in history-- and was predicted by some that this would happen before a woman ever became president.
So : Obama's Base Is In a Dilemma
