Twenty-six percent (26%) of voters nationwide say President Obama did a good or excellent job answering a press conference question about an incident involving a white Cambridge, Massachusetts policeman and a black Harvard professor. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 46% rate the president’s response as poor.

Beneath the top line numbers is a huge gap between the way that white and black Americans view the situation.
...
Seventy-one percent (71%) of African-Americans say the president’s response was good or excellent, a view shared by just 22% of white Americans.
At the other extreme, 53% of white voters gave the president’s response a poor grade. Only five percent (5%) of black Americans offered such a negative response.
African-Americans, by a two-to-one margin, say the question was inappropriate. Whites are fairly evenly divided on the appropriateness of the question.
Seventy-three percent (73%) of African-American voters believe that most blacks receive unfair treatment from the police. Just 21% of white voters share that view.
Thirty-two percent (32%) of black voters say that most policemen are racist, but 52% disagree.
Among white voters, just seven percent (7%) believe that most policemen are racist and 71% say they are not.
On a partisan basis, 50% of Democrats say the president’s response was good or excellent. White Democrats are less supportive than black Democrats. The president’s response earned a poor rating from 77% of Republicans and 52% of those not affiliated with either major party.

Wow...so glad now that we have Obozo, this whole racial thing in our country is over! whew, glad that is in the past and we can all get along!
Wow..what a transformational Pres.
ha.
26% of the residents of my state (Alabama) are Black.
Me too and I agree.
He could shoot up a school, and Republicans would get blamed more than him for not having enough gun control in this country.
Je$$ie and Al, you've gotta be mighty proud.
Wait till ACORN and SEIU thugs start swarming in your neighborhood. BTW, they'll be paid with $8 billion dollars of yours.
Welcome to Barry’s “post-racial America.”
Please heed the signs around you and buckle your seatbelts.
Thank you and enjoy your ride.
Has anyone watched COPS? I’d say that 90% of the perps are black. Can’t argue with evidence no matter how hard you try to massage it.
How many of those 26% are ex-cons or felons?
As long as you’re a FOHO (Friend of Hussein Obama) you ain’t got to pay no steeenkin’ taxes!
"FIVE PERCENT THINK OBAMA'S DOING A GOOD OR EXCELLENT JOB!"
Talk about polishing a turd!
I think the new prerequisite polling question (to properly bias the results in the desired MSM manner) should be:
Do you buy kool aid in large enough quantity that if mixed all at once it would drown a gaggle of elephants?
If answer = Y, then continue with poll, otherwise end call and remove name from list.
This set up question is deemed inappropriate by the audience it was intended to impact the most. I'm not quite sure what to make of this other than the African/Black community says the response was appropriate, but the question was bad. I won't expand on this further.
More troubling is the 2-1 African/Black demographic that viewed the question as inappropriate. Um, it was a set-up by Obama, delivered by one of his Chicago media writers. Hello! Wake up, “demographic”.
“I am beginning to think that the real racists left in the USA are these blacks. Black anti-white racism seems to be rampant.”
Has been for a considerable amount of time. It’s quite profitable to be racist. Just ask Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton amongst others such as Wright.
Given that your running buddy is William Ayers who loved killing police officers, your response is quite fitting...
They acted stupidly because Gates is a personal friend of Obama’s. You do not do that to FOOS, friends of Obama’s?
Consider the possibility that he was not criticizing their actions, he was criticizing his FRIEND being involved. That’s where they ‘acted stupidly.’
This is the "OJ Verdict" all over again. No amount of logic, facts, or argument will change these people's minds (except the Holy Spirit coming into their life through Christ changes their hearts).
Hannity had a black woman on yesterday who said "97% of all white men are Devils."
There is a word to describe her attitude - Racism.
Racism is sin, and it has to be confessed before God and dealt with. You are casting hateful aspersion on God's creatures without cause.
Cause and behavior is another matter - and we are judge people's actions.
Racism is another matter.
The bitter truth is black racism is very common, but very little discussed.
