And the aggravating thing is, everything he’s doing now was foreseeable before the election. He even boasted about it. All they had to do was pay attention, inform themselves a little. But no, the cult of personality (!), white guilt, spite, class warfare, etc, mattered so much more.

Could be an epic election if the GOP-e don’t mess it up in November.

Oh they are going to do everything in their power to mess it up for the Tea Party in November.

For the same reason blacks will not buy a car or major purchase from a black owned and run car dealership. This has been a major problem for the big three in achieving a little dealership diversity.

The case was clear from the very beginning who 0bama is and what he stands for. No excuses for supporting him whatsoever.

I have been informed by a black friend that if you want in done right, purchase from a white business.

Supposedly, according to this article, 39% of blacks regret voting for Obamugabe.

I find this highly suspect.

You assume their regret is for good reasons. Maybe it's because he's being stingy with his 'stash.

Anybody think THIS will be discussed on Sunday’s political talk shows? Didn’t think so - it doesn’t fit the narrative.

I sensed that the day after the election. Everyone was quiet and not talking about anything. I suspect many hoped that they would vote for him to make themselves feel good, but really wanted him to loose. Oops.

These people put more effort into examining a bunch of bananas at the super market than they do a candidate for POTUS.

I keep automated systems running in a very large industrial factory. To the extent that I have any slow-time in my work schedule, the welfare to work crowd keeps me very busy.

My phone and radio is non-stop. There is a definate split in their culture however. A few of the smartest engineers and highly skilled machinists I've ever dealt with are black.

It's the LIV or the welfare crowd that makes the biggest mess. That bunch is also dismissive of any accomplished smartest guy in the building if he's black. I just don't get it?

There is something screwy with this poll. Look at the full internals: Question 3 asked Obama voters if they would vote for him again. 79% said yes, 10% said no. Question 4 asked Obama voters if they regretted voting for him. 71% said yes, 29% said no. Those numbers, taken together, make absolutely no sense.

Also, Question 3 had a total of 396 responses, while Question 4 only had 35 responses. (the same thing is true of the Romney set of questions, too - the “would you vote for him again” question got 363 responses, while the “do you regret your vote?” question got only 10 responses).

Why would a poll of 35 people be discussed on political talk shows?

you know... I can “almost” forgive them for voting for Obama the first time around. Especially since the alternative was McLame.

But a 2nd time !?! WTF were they thinking?!?

If that many blacks regret their vote... it’s only because Obama hasn’t paid their rent out of his “stash”.

71% regret their decision to vote for Obama
79% would still vote for Obama over Romney

This^^

I am absolutely convinced that Americans, especially liberals who think only with their emotions, are very easily manipulated. Therefore, they are easily subject to whatever momentum is in play. I mean, how else do you explain very late in most national elections big, wide swings in polls.

The answer is that Americans no longer have core values to guide them, rather, they are easily manipulated by TV ads and will vote for the last ad they liked and if enough celebrities and others are supporting the candidate. In short, the Presidential election is basically American Idol, writ large.

And this is why Obama would win election again. Obama would spend a billion dollars trashing the opponent. Celebrities would work relentlessly to bring along the dumb, and the corrupt MSM would pimp Obama, as would every Hollywood sitcom and movie.

Again, Americans have no core values, hence they are easily manipulated through their emotions.

Still, that means about 20% would vote Romney over Obama.

Take away 20% of the Clown’s voters and give them to Romney, and we would at least have someone who loves America in the White House.
