Can Obama hold on to African American voters in 2012? (Wow! Lots of racism here!)

YES>....Sharpton or Jackson said he wasn’t a REAL black and hadn’t been “down for the fight” or something like that....BEFORE he was annointed as the Dems candidate.

The big thing here is that there are rumblings of discontent in the black community when it comes to getting in line behind the Obama's re-election bid.

This is costing the Obama apparatus valuable resources needed to quell the rebellion within his most faithful constituency.

The prediction here is that he still gets 90% of the black vote if he runs for re-election (even vs. Herman Cain), but the black turnout will be smaller than in 2008.

People are starting to take notice of the unexpectedly small percentage of blacks participating in the Obama-endorsed Occupy Wall Street protest and its spin-offs around the country.

No, he’s an oreo cookie, because he doesn’t subscribe to the right shiboleths. White people will vote for him anyway, so you have to vote for the black man that white people have given up on, or you’re disloyal.

Indeed. Thanks for the ping!
