White women cold towards Obama
Politico ^ | 5/29/08 | DAVID PAUL KUHN

Posted on 05/29/2008 1:29:48 PM PDT by Dawnsblood

Barack Obama’s favorability ratings among white women have significantly depreciated in recent months, particularly among Democrats and independents, posing an immediate obstacle for the likely Democratic nominee as he moves to shore up his party’s base.

According to a new report by The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, half of white women now have a negative perception of Obama.

Forty-nine percent of white women view Obama unfavorably, while only 43 percent hold a favorable opinion. In February, 36 percent of these women viewed Obama unfavorably while 56 percent had a positive perception of the likely Democratic nominee.

Over the same period, Democratic white women’s negative view of Obama increased from 21 to 35 percent, while their positive view decreased from 72 to 60 percent – roughly the same rate as white women overall.

White men, in general and among Democrats, have only shown a slight drop off in their perception of Obama – one-third of the shift seen in white women. About 20 percent of Democratic white men have an unfavorable view of Obama, a figure which has remained stable since February.

Pew also found that among self-described Clinton supporters, the negative shift against Obama is more severe among women than men.

The Pew findings come as Obama’s campaign struggles to close up the primary race while also attempting to avoid the perception of pushing Hillary Clinton out, for fear of offending her most loyal supporters – the largest bloc of which are white women.

Ooops.

I forgot to specify,
S.O.B. is an acronym for: Senator: Obama, Barack.

Hey get in line Barack.

White women have been cold to me a whole lot longer than to you.

Jeremiah Earl of Wright sez: We all know that white people are the color of snow. They come from cold northern countries. Is it any wonder that white women are frigid? Is there any wonder that Hillary is the ice queen?

No, no, no! There ain't no wonder about that!

And remember that 'Black is beautiful!' and that black people are from warm places so they are warm people.

Yes, yes, yes. Obama is the warmest person in the race.

No..
Call it the “Sweetie” effect.

Give Obama enough time and he will alienate everybody.
FOr an educated guy, he’s a real @$$ at times.

The only question is can he stay ahead of McCain in gaffs.

If so, McCain will win by default.

I think he reminds them of the slick black guy who tried to talk his way into their pants in college.

No, but his wife reminds me of the girls who wanted to beat me up in college.

You may be on to something. They seem to be off put by him.

The gays, too. I have some gay friends in Long Beach who HATE Obama.

I think it may be gay-wide. They love Hillary, Cher, Kathy Griffin and Bette Midler. (fag hags)

Two worst things that can happen to a man, an expert once told me: cold women, and warm beer!

I wonder what Obama’s father would think of this.

“What keeps coming to my imagination is that they’ll try to threaten—”Vote for Obama or I’ll call you a racist!”

Of course, race baiters are already accused of not wanting Obama to win.”

Go over to Politico these days. All the sheep following Obama are already saying that. They also say they don’t need the votes of Hillary’s followers. They call poor people in W. VA stupid and toothless and then pretend to be their champions on another day - their protectors from the big bad Republicans....

Basically they can’t talk about Obama’s record because it really is non-existent. They won’t talk about his gaffes or stupidity. They just routinely claim that anyone who challenges The Messiah is racist, or bigoted, or stupid, etc. That’s really all they have. That is it in a nutshell.

I’d have to say it was because they can read men better than the “others” who are for obama. They know a crook and a liar when they see/hear one.

It could be a Morning After Remorse kind of thing, after all those multiple O-basms.
