Barack Obama's campaign went looking for unregistered black voters in barbershops and beauty salons across the state Saturday, including Broward and Palm Beach counties, in a new outreach effort to African-Americans.

[worst-case scenario]

Go where the people are, I guess.

I am sure ACORN will also be visiting funeral homes, detention centers, and bus shelters to register the Dead, illegal immigrants, criminals and the homeless.

they will vote early and often!

I found some interesting statistics:

given by people who identified their occupation as “Hair Dresser”.
$7,130 from 11 people to Republicans
$5,800 from 10 people to Democrats

given by people who identified their occupation as “Beautician”.
$7,548 from 10 people to Republicans
$3,260 from 9 people to Democrats

people who identified their occupation as “Barber”.
$10,503 from 24 people to Republicans
$10,155 from 31 people to Democrats

given by people who identified their occupation as “Hair Stylist”.
$25,301 from 26 people to Republicans
$29,796 from 59 people to Democrats

It is extraordinarily simply to register to vote, so just how brain numbingly stupid can people be who can’t figure out how to register on their own?

given by people who identified their occupation as “Hairdresser”.

"How Fabulouth!!!"

My initial reaction is that Obama’s supporters are really dredging for voters, because the poll numbers ARE indeed worrying. Your info is highly interesting, though. To an Obamite, all people who cut hair are probably hairdressers or hairstylists...just like all white PA voters are bitter, gun-toting, God-fearing bigots and xenpohobes.

But how do you keep from getting hanging chads with those long nails?

[Dr. Ursus]

You left out Fatburger and the local Malt shop( the non-milk variety.)

Possible post-prez-run career choice for Obama?

"Barack Obama's campaign went looking for unregistered black voters..."

RACISTS!

[TommyJoe]

I guess the next question in that would be did he go to ALL barbershops and BEAUTY shops?

[Maelstorm]

There are but the problem is getting the voters to the polls and that is hard. He had a real chance but the Obama fatigue is real and was inevitable. His mistake is unlike Reagan he speaks to give voice to the critiques of all who despise America. He claims to offer to fix even what is not broken and fails to acknowledge the strengths of “the shining city on the hill”. America if broken is not because its people do not speak a second language, it is not because we have too small a government, it is not because we do not give enough to charity, it is not because we do not show restraint in the face of war. It is because people like Obama have forgotten what made this country great. It is not the size or benevolence of our government that makes this country great it is the independence and righteousness of a people who have risen time and time again against the odds, against conventional wisdom and fought the good fight when others could not stomach it.

Obama and people like him are not ashamed of the faults of America many which they are directly responsible for. No they are ashamed of our patriotism, our faith in God, our belief in traditional family, our belief in the sanctity of life, our belief that what we earn is ours to determine what part will be given in charity, that Caesar is not a replacement for our immortal souls. That the goals of government bureaucrats do not trump the personal sovereignty of the individual and his property.

[cake_crumb]

Probably not. And can you see them walking into barber shop or beauty salon and ignoring all the white clients? Disenfranchisement. Terrible.

[cake_crumb]

Well said, and it really sums up the reasoning behind my belief that Obama is not American enough to be president of this country. He was raised in a third world country. His roots aren't American. His values are not American values. His entire mindset toward this country is exactly the same as those in third world dictatorships where the people are taught to blame all of their unemployment, poverty, lack of clean water, terrorism and hunger on America, instead of on their own government and ultimately, on their own lack of initiative that enables a tin pot dictator to rule them.

[Prokopton]

The nationwide campaign kicked off last weekend in Atlanta. The Obama campaign is trying to register the more than 8 million African-Americans who are eligible to vote but not registered

Nope, race doesn't play any part of this election. What? The Obama campaign is assuming that all "African-Americans" will vote for him? Just because he is 20% black? Nothing else matters?

Well I'll be!

Voter fraud. Watch.
