Majority of White People Don’t Believe Obama Loves America
FrontPage Mag ^ | 02/25/2015 | Daniel Greenfield

The poll numbers are narrow, but the results are still stunning.

White people say by 42% to 41% that Obama does not love America. Now the results are within the margin of error, but if you believe the media, they should never have been this close.

Obama’s favorables among whites are down to around a third.

But Obama’s patriotism isn’t particularly convincing even to Hispanics, only 52 percent of whom believe that Obama loves America.

How would Obama supporters care to explain that? Clearly he isn’t projecting his love too convincingly for anyone except black voters, many of whom continue to blindly support him.

(Blacks polled say that they love America by 78%, Whites by 85%, Hispanics by 87%, a higher number than whites. They are however less likely than whites to think that America is exceptional. Those are, despite Obama’s reign, good numbers. They however drop sharply among millenials among 71 percent of whom do.)

Now how much of an outlier is Giuliani?

Only 11% of Republicans believe that Obama loves America. 85% of Democrats do (which raises questions about why the other 15 percent are Dems). 69% of Republicans do not believe that Obama loves America.

It’s that simple.

The interesting coda is American exceptionalism. Only 55% of Blacks believe in American exceptionalism (but 22 percent say they’re not sure, so it’s possible they didn’t understand the question) compared to 69 percent of Hispanics and 72 percent of whites.

Only 51 percent of millenials and 70 percent of Democrats.

For Democrats and some Blacks, believing that America is special is not considered part of loving it.

I don't even know that he loves his wife/beard!

He runs out on her at Valentine's Day to go play golf in some distant city.

Obamas Spend Valentine's Day Apart, Again

"For a second consecutive year, President Obama won't be with Michelle on Feb. 14. And for a second consecutive year, he'll be on a trip to Palm Springs -- one of his favorite destinations over the past couple years -- playing golf and bro-ing out with high-school buddies."

Then there were the marriage counselor/divorce rumors.

” White people say by 42% to 41% that Obama does not love America. “

Shows me how far we have fallen as a race.

Thank you public schools

Thank you MSM

And especially, thank you white parents for abandoning your duty as a parent to properly raise your childen.

Tee time is 1:00 PM. Don’t be late.

It’s very simple: one does not, at every turn, undermine something one loves.

That's a rather revealing way of putting it, isn't it? The answer is that they don't love America themselves.

How could King Obama love America? He is a communists black Muslim traitor. Does any part of that seem like any reason to love what America was? Wake the hell up!

Once the preidency is over you can expect a divorce from their “arrangement” which we all know was a load of crap like putting on a play for all to see so he could look the part and get elected. They will take their buttloads of money with them; the kids will be told they were test tube babies and that he’s not their real father and they will be move off into seclusion out of the way of the caliphate to another country where they will be mega rich. Thir usefulness expended they may suddenly disappear and go the way of Natalee Holloway...

I don’t know if the kids will ‘go away’ when the Obamas leave the White House but I fully expect to see them get rid of the dog the way the Clintons dumped their pets.

I doubt it. Carter's proved himself a useful idiot for over 30 years. The Obamas are even less shy about misusing the public spotlight.

He hates everything about this country the sooner it’s a third world country the better just look at his actions for the last six years and who are his friends he’s a very dangerous person.

He loves abortion enough that he doesn’t want to see his daughters punished with a baby.
