I hope you are correct.
I hope that you’re right. And the TX economy is not that bad, so I can olly imagine how folks in some other states may feel.
I had a similar experience on a very small scale. I was out of town on business, and sat down with some people at the reception that was discussing politics.
A black lady about 70 or 75 years old was talking about Obama. She was saying well ok so he got to be elected, and I guess that nice for him, but these people are not entitled. They are not. She repeated this several times.
Then she looked at me and said, “you know what I mean-you grew up knowing you had to work, and that you are not entitled.” She wasn’t happy about the Romney 57% either.
It sounded like she planned to stay home.
Take this to the bank: blacks will vote well over 90% for Obama.
voting for Obama was a "gesture vote" last time and he won't do it again.
I suspect he is not alone.
Very encouraging experience you had!
Could have a real impact in Virginia. Maryland? New Jersey?
Here in Pennsylvania it could depress turnout in Philadelphia.
Wow!
That is what I am hoping for. It is about time for them to wake up. Thank you for this GREAT uplifting report.
With all due respect, dear FReeper, I’d like to believe you’re right but I just can’t.
Blacks will come out in mobs for Obunghole because he’s black.
I would like to see the black democrat vote drop to 60 or even 70%, because frankly, to know that they all vote exactly the same at 96%, creates a creepy feeling in non-blacks, it makes blacks seem remote, separate, unreachable, rigid in a racial way.
Just knowing that 30% of blacks vote non-democrat would change that completely, it would mean that you could not look at people in public and predict how they vote, that you couldn’t already know their politics without ever even speaking to them.

MANY thanks for posting this, for a number of reasons.
The first of which is, it’s uplifting.
I used to think I was bigoted against blacks.
But, I discovered I’m bigoted against “entitlement minded” blacks;
I discovered I’m bigoted against “entitlement minded” whites;
I discovered I’m bigoted against “entitlement minded” people.
(I really just don’t like leftists, socialists, communists or lazy bastards.)
THINK SQUAD: Chicago blacks say Democrats are “clueless about how mad they’ve made black folk....”

Well, maybe they should quit thinking about how things help “blacks” and worry more about what the commie in chief is doing to Americans.

Maybe more black and less Commie would have helped the one.
I blame his white half.
I feel sorry for those who are suffering but they have to man up and admit their mistakes. Obama represented what they wanted and believed in, bigger government, now they will have to admit that it does not work or they will just repeat it with another demagogue.
I’m white and my bro-in-law is black. He is a great guy and someone I can trust my sister (and nephew) with totally.
He voted Obama last time. I understand why he did so. I’m not going to demean him for it, even though we all knew what Obama meant. He is not voting for him this time. I think Obama lost about a 1/4 of black votes to Romney and 1/4 of black turn out.
I have a black (she is African) woman who is observing my class as she trains to become a teacher. She asked me if I was voting Obama. I said “No way.” She said, “Why? Obama will help you as a teacher.” I said “I have 2 or 3 skill sets that would make me twice what I make now. All I want is for Obama not to tell me what to teach, like he is trying to do with Common Core and Race to the Top.” She said, “So you like Romney?” I said “No, he’s pretty mediocre, but I’ll vote for him to slow the use of money that should be going into my family’s mouth that’s being used for other purposes. It’s not all ‘free money’.” She took a pause.
I drive around Chicago all the time for work. It is very odd. There are no obama signs, I mean none. I know they think they have no reason to be concerned in IL, but usually they put them up anyway. I think the turnout may be very, very, low. It would not surprise me if they are caught sleeping in IL.
Thanks for posting your experience.
I prepare taxes and as part of that we have to ask if people want to allocate $3 to the pres. election fund. I thought with Obama many black people would say Yes! but that was wrong. Most people still say No. Most say no, what have they done for me, some say Hell NO! some do say OK, but nobody, black or white or spanish or anything else says YES!
I’m sure Obama will do as well as most Dems do with Black voters, but I don’t think he’ll get the super, super majority he got last time.
(He also may be well screwed with the Jews, I hope he is, he deserves to be.)
But to me the unique failure of Obama, in terms of the black americans has been how he did NOTHING, NOTHING! to at least try and use the bully pulpit to pull the black family off the edge of the abyss.
All Obama ever does with black americans is try to appeal to the lowest element, the whole: trayvon looks like my son stuff. Yet he has never encouraged black men to be like him, to marry their women and be faithful to them, to be good at home fathers to their children.
There are so, so, so many problems in the black community and Obama has made it pretty clear that he couldn’t care less about them.
This post might be a little garbled, but I hope I got my points across.
