You forgot that many white people voted for Obama because they “thought it was great to have a black (mullatto) man as President...
young people think he is “cool”.
Not the young people I have spoken to. They apparently can see right thru him. Most think he's a fraud..................
Move the voting age to 35 except for military.
“young people think he is “cool”.
My 20-something son says he can see the affect of Rev. Wright on O’s speaking patterns. He says it has a church sermon cadence to it. I think young people voted for him because he was Black and being Black is cool, according to all the pop culture images they get. The MSM made even a humorless and pedantic Black guy into “cool.” People my age with money voted for him to show how “open-minded” they are, and probably to assuage their white guilt.
Actually, Obama doesn't qualify as a mulatto. According to Louisiana usage, a mulatto is 50% black, 50% white. Quadroon is 25% black, 75% white. Octaroon is 12.5% black, 87.5% white. As I understand his lineage, he fits in the last category.
