Hopefully he’ll pull (delay) the health bill, but then it’ll be crucial that we stop the cap & tax. That is a monstrosity that’s at least as bad if not worse.

I beg to differ. Cap N Tax is reversable with simple legislation. Giving free health insurance to people and socializing the medical system will be for all intents and purposes impossible. Defeating Obamacare is paramount.

They're so poisoned by class hatred indoctrination from the left that they're blinded to what's right in front of them.

They've been getting a steady diet of it since kindergarten. It's going to take a long time to undo this brainwashing.

“Even black support is in the 70s% down from the mid 90%.” ‘Sounds like even they have been hearing about parts of the Healthcare bill where non-taxpayers lives won’t be worth crap—just like seniors.

0 won 66% of the 18-29 years old vote.

Yes, and in 2012 they will be in the 22-33 age group, many without jobs.

I believe when all is said and done Obama will not seek re-election. It’s pretty obvious now that the Dems are going to get hammered in the mid-term. They’ll probably go into rope-a-dope mode after that. Hillary will resign at some point and the Dem primary field will be overflowing with wannabe’s.

A lot of the nitwits who pay little attention to current affairs but thought they were voting for racial progress are apparently having second thoughts. “Yikes,” they say to themselves after finally hearing about Obama’s latest Marxist exercise “that’s not what we voted for.” Except it is what they voted for, and now they’re having recriminations.

"whites are racist"

The national liberal media was complicit with the notion that most whites voted against Obama simply on racial grounds. As if conservatives would have voted for Obama in record numbers if he white. The whole idea is so preposterous...well, only nutty libs would believe it. But they do.

Funny how the majority of those bumper stickers have fast disappeared. Where’s the love gone?

If Bummer actually gets Bummercare by Congress, their collective ratings will go from “dislike” to “loathe.”

...and then if Obama gets Cap-and-Trade by Congress, their collective ratings will go from "loathe" to "plaid"

Believe me, most black folks pay taxes, but they're too emotionally invested in Obama to think straight about him.

One of my life long friends from the 60's is a black guy who was a demonRAT and while he was earning big bucks he remained a demonRAT {mostly from habit}.

When his dad died in late 90's and he saw how much money the government took from the estate he switched parties and has been a pubbie ever since.

We had lunch last week and he told me that while he voted against obama he won't admit it to his black friends because he doesn't want the hassle.

My guess is there are quite a few more blacks like him that don't want to be criticized by their friends and relatives.

I haven't seen him lose one iota of support among blacks. The libs in my family still support him 100%. Haven't heard a single one of them express any doubt about Obama yet.

This healthcare thing and the czars thing are starting to have an impact on the libs in my family. They hate to admit it because I was pretty verbal during the election, but they are starting to express distrust and dismay. Comments like "well, Obama is just another politician"., etc.

I've found a lot of black democrats I've met in the Raleigh NC area are Marxists through and through. They believe in the the communist manifesto to the letter.

Message to Scott Rasumussen, can we get a poll on this? Also on support for Slavery Reparations?

This would be a great wedge to drive away lukewarm supporters from Zero.
