“Our future’s looking bright, because I trust the man who’s leading us. And that man is Barack Obama,” Smith, 53, says in a new Obama campaign Web video to promote the group African-Americans for Obama.

“I have the president’s back, and it’s up to us as African-Americans to show that we have his back also.”

Ninety-six percent of black voters in the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll say they approve of the way Obama has handled his job, while just 3 percent do not.

Zero is turning to sports figures to help raise cash and support because the phonies in Hollywood realize he's a loser. Plus - athletes tend to piss their money away on stupid things so, it's a perfect fit.

Super disappointed that Victo Cruz from the Giants is helping out with a bowling fund raiser - these guys, like musicians should stay out of politics unless they are running for something.

“it’s up to us as African-Americans to show that we have his back also”

Following coach’s logic, the rest of us have no choice but to support a white candidate.

But Lovie, Obama is half white! Doesn’t that make him a 50% interloper?

May all these celebrities suffer the economic backlash that Oprah has been going through since she sucked up to Obama.

Obama’s extremely comfortable with calling big black men “Lovie”.

Imagine Bill Belichick calling on “whites” to support Rick Santorum?

And to think that all those years I thought I was the racist ... well if I wasn't then I sure am now

And thank you to the 3 percent who are more than likely FReepers. Being able to think for yourself is a dangerous business. If the Left finds out you left the plantation they don’t know whether to sh## or go blind.
