I hope I’m wrong, but why do I get the feeling that the 35% is realy pi$$ed at Obama because their mortgages haven’t been paid off and there’s no new Mercedes in the garage?

The pollsters will fix it next time...

Q. If you are African-American:

      1) I support President Barack Obama.
      2) I am a cracker-loving stinking Uncle Tom traitor to my race.

Maybe because nothing has changed for them and nothing will until they get on board and help us clean up the government.

It’s BS.

Blacks came out in droves to vote for a black man.

Even conservative blacks favored him, in spite of their disagreement with what he stands for. Blacks supporters of Hillary abandoned her to support Obama. Blacks compromise their value system to vote for skin color.

Blacks vote for blacks and, when push comes to shove, will vote once again for Zer0 when he faces a white man(or woman).

Maybe they will realize that this is not a race issue, but a COMMIE issue.
YES, I am extremely prejudiced against COMMIES.

I work in the hood every day and there are several reasons he is losing support among blacks. But first one must understand that black Christians in Ohio gave Bush his second term. The number of additional black Christians in Ohio who voted for him in 2004 over the number who voted for him in 2000 was greater than the number of votes he won the state by. These voters voted against Kerry’s support of gay marriage and support of baby killing. If Bush lost Ohio Florida became meaningless.

Now, there are large numbers of people in the hood living on Social Security checks who aren’t getting a raise this year and who may get a cut. The ones who know about that are pissed at Obama. Just this past Thursday a group of people “getting checks” was talking about that. These people were saying how disappointed they are that Obama is doing nothing but hurting them by causing higher prices but not giving them a raise even though he gave all that money to banks, car companies and Wall Street.

This group is not just old folks. It contains people getting SS disability as well. Come January there will be a whole lot of blacks pissed when they don’t get their raise.

Now, add the people getting checks who are worse off than they were to the Christians who don’t like his pro-abortion stance and don’t like his pro-gay marriage stance and there is substantial anti-Obama feelings in the hood.

I don't know what to think of this.

Here's my simple assessment: "opinion" means nothing, it's "action" (i.e. voting) that matters.

Just like after 9/11, we were told and are still being told that not all Muslims are terrorists. Well, that may be true, but their overall attitude is "we don't betray any Muslim, no matter how evil he/she is."

That same rule can be applied to American Black voters. So, until I see numbers of blacks actually & publicly opposing the jOker, I'm assuming that most of them fall under the "Abused Spouse" or "In-denial-about-their-wayward-son Mother" category.

I don’t know what to think of this.


To say you disapprove of him or his actions is one thing but did they say they’d not vote for him if he was on the ballot again. My guess is that most of the 35% would. You voice disapproval in an effort to get things you want done.

I disapproved of John McCain in many areas but when it came to election time I pulled the lever for him over the democrat.........

Who knows?

They should be angry because his policies are throwing black people out of work. But I suspect they are angry because he is fighting in Afghanistan, or because he has said he would drop the “public option” in his health plan, or other similar reasons.

And I suspect that if they went to the polls tomorrow, 95% of them would still vote for Obama.

Because blacks ARE NOT a monolithic block despite what the left and so called "black leaders" tell you and we all to easily accept...

We have seen that the MSM tries to marginalize and make us invisible?

Well the same happens to any black person that does not fit the template on what the left tells you what a Black person is "suppose" to be

It means nothing. If a new election were held Tuesday they would vote for Obama at the same 95%. Blacks talk a good game about conservatism but when put to the test the are a leading liberal group always were, always will be. They will NEVER vote conservative and are no worth chasing.

Don't think they are annoyed because Obama is too Leftist -- they are annoyed because he isn't Leftist ENOUGH for them.

They were expecting that electing Obama would immediately turn the country into Paradise. Ugly reality is starting to intrude.

Do not presume that this would make them vote Republican in any election.

There are a lot of wealthy and successful African American businesspeople in Atlanta.

They pay taxes and lots of them! They see the handwriting on the wall.
