Larry Elder explains how Barack Obama's party has betrayed minorities

In 13 wards in Philadelphia, reports the Inquirer, President Barack Obama received 99 percent of the vote! A local Democratic ward leader outlined the strategy: “In this election, you had to point out to people what was at stake. And in many cases, they felt that the Romney doctrine was not going to favor the working man.”

Obama appears to have held on to most of his percentage of the black vote from 2008 – even though the black unemployment rate in October reached 14.3 percent.

So, the vast majority of black folk voted for a foreign born socialist who uses a stolen social security number. And they voted for him purely because he be black? We expect this of them by now. Heck, they’d vote for Adolph Hitler if he was black.
