[Pessimist]

I think the answer is obvious.

Who’s going to pay, and who’s going to get paid?

[Psalm 144]

Which blacks?

Thomas Sowell says he is worried, and trying to fend off despair.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Don’t have to read it to know why - because blacks are blindly supporting Obastard and are so invested with him being “successful” that they ignore the evidence in front of them.

[SMARTY]

The Optimism Gap (Why are blacks more upbeat than whites about the U.S. economy?

Is this a rhetorical question?

[sniper63]

I’m a Republican, I work so you don’t have to.

[skeeter]

Maybe the 90% of the black population who voted for Obama see the question as a ploy to get them to admit they made a mistake & don't want to give the questioner and his audience the satisfaction of admitting they were wrong?

Or maybe they still believe their candidate will 'deliver the goods' for them?

[luvbach1]

Because of their conditioned-response, knee-jerk support of Demonrats, and especially their race-based support of 0bummer.Also, their hope of continued government (read taxpayer) largess.

[spodefly]

Because all those jobs with the government will not be going to the crackers ...

[luvbach1]

Of course one can generalize, especially when upward of 95% of blacks support the Demonrats and 0bummer.

[matginzac]

They’ve got to be kidding!
The unemployment rate for A-As is 20+% - worse yet for A-A yoots.
This half-black in the white house is maintaining the plantation for these A-As and they are willing fools...
a real shame...

[Hardraade]

It’s all going to program, isn’t it? Upbeat blacks. Beatup whites.

[nmh]

For blacks it is ALL about SKIN COLOR! This is the driving force that keeps them loyal to Obama. To make matters worse, they do the worst educationally, they do the worst financially and they are not as business savvy as other racial groups. In other words, they are ignorant and easily lead by a black person. I'm sorry but that is the only explanation that makes sense based on other surveys. Another factor is that they have been conditioned to believe government knows best and will take care of them.

If you ask a normal black person who has had success, educated and broke free of enslavement to government and they will be pessimistic. I also believe they are happy to see others suffering financially or racially because they have been conditioned to believe their future is bleak and they've been suppressed. Sure YEARS and YEARS ago, they were suppressed but not it is discrimination against not being black.

[GonzoGOP]

It is not just blacks, it is the entire welfare class. They need to stop injecting race into an issue that isn’t inherently racial. Scavengers thrive in hard times. When the Gazelles are starving, the vultures eat well. Obama’s ACORN crew are just waiting to feast on the carcass of America when their failed economic policies finally bring the nation to its knees.

[luvbach1]

The writer sure didn’t need all those words to explain it.

[RedWhiteBlue]

cognitive dissonance .....

[ontap]

They are still sure Obama is going to pay off their house and car!!!

Optimism?...optimism? why sure..here's some quote from true believers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P36x8rTb3jI

OBAMA'S GONNA PAY FOR MY GAS...
Millions like her voted... SCRIPT: "It was the most memorable time of my life. It was a touching moment because I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help him, he's gonna help me." - Peggy Joseph 10/30/2008

Obama’s Stash (Oct 8, 2009)
new audio today from Ken Rogulski of WJR. Detroit Free Press: "'Cobo a Scene of Desperation' --

"Some were treated by emergency medical workers on site," as they showed up to pick up Obama money. "It was one of the most dramatic signs to date of how deeply joblessness and the home foreclosure crisis have pushed people from the lower and middle ends of the economic scale to seek help wherever they can.

ROGULSKI: Why are you here?
WOMAN #1: To get some money.
ROGULSKI: What kind of money?
WOMAN #1: Obama money.
ROGULSKI: Where's it coming from?
WOMAN #1: Obama.
ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get it?
WOMAN #1: I don't know, his stash. I don't know. (laughter) I don't know where he got it from, but he givin' it to us, to help us.
WOMAN #2: And we love him.
WOMAN #1: We love him. That's why we voted for him!
WOMEN: (chanting) Obama! Obama! Obama! (laughing)
ROGULSKI: Did you get an application to fill out yet?
WOMAN: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.
ROGULSKI: Will you know today how much money you're getting?
WOMAN: No, I won't, but I'm waiting for a phone call. BR> ROGULSKI: Where's the money coming from? BR> WOMAN: I believe it's coming from the City of Detroit or the state.
ROGULSKI: Where did they get it from?
WOMAN: Some funds that was forgiven (sic) by Obama.
ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get the funds? BR> WOMAN: Obama getting the funds from... Ummm, I have no idea, to tell you the truth. He's the president.
ROGULSKI: In downtown Detroit, Ken Rogulski, WJR News.
