It's not about "race"

President Obama continues to have problems when it comes to race.
White independent voters helped make Barack Obama the first African-American president in history, but now a lot of them apparently don't like him so much anymore.
A CNN poll taken shortly after President Obama was inaugurated in April 2009 showed a 61 percent approval rating among whites. That same poll now shows the president with a 34 percent rating among whites. Meanwhile, more than 90 percent of blacks approve of the job the president is doing.
And there are more signs of trouble when it comes to support from white voters - not just for the president but for the Democrats in general.
Another new poll shows working-class whites are flocking to the Republican Party, which will make it even tougher for the Democrats to keep control of Congress.
The Associated Press-GFK poll shows whites without college degrees prefer Republican candidates by 22 percentage points. That's double the margin of the past two elections.

It is understandable that his first bow was to the Saudis
I went to an Allen West rally last weekend. Col West is an American patriot who happens to be black. There were a good number of black supporters there that day who had moved as far away from the white crowd as they could. I took stock of faces when he talked about ending an entitlement mindset and when he called the WH resident by his full name. There were a lot of narrowed lips and general displeasure on those faces.
It was clear to me that a good number of the black folks there were supporting Col West based solely on the color of his skin. I would be willing to bet a lot of money that these people will also vote for Meek for the same reason. Believe me, I have rolled this around in my head for a week and still cannot believe what I saw with my own eyes. If they really believe in The Won, they should have been booing Col West. Yet they were putting bumper stickers on their cars.
And two years from now they’ll all run back over to the other side.
Well put.
I would say that it is certainly equal to the number of blacks who didn't care if OJ was innocent. - He was black & thats where it all is.
Uh, because we don’t judge a person’s performance based on how similar their skin color is to our? Apparently unlike most African-Americans, 91% of whom support the President.
Only idiots would vote for him, period.
White folks caught on to racist Obama when he called the Cambridge police “stupid.”
Eric Holder and his racist Justice Department has reinforced what people were thinking.
Obama is taking money from white people and giving it to blacks.
Nuff said.
Why? Because they voted for the well-spoken centrist he presented himself as being, rather than the hard-left Chicago gutter-politician anyone who was really paying attention knew him to be.

I’ll keep my guns, my freedom, and my money. You can keep the “Change”. It has nothing to do with race but the MSM and other groups just don’t get it. The 55% of Americans who pay taxes are tired of supporting the people who don’t. The government has done more to keep poor black Americans down than they have themselves. My successful black friends all work hard, refuse to put a hyphen in front of American, and are as mad at the president and Congress as I am.
Don't doubt it one bit. Any self respecting, hard working person, regardless of skin color, has to resent the mess this administration is making of the economy and the country's future.
You betcha! It is one of my favorite W expressions. :-)
