WASHINGTON (AP) — When black voters gave President Barack Obama 93 percent support on Election Day in defiance of predictions that they might sit it out this year, black leaders breathed a collective sigh of relief.
That encouraged those leaders to try to leverage more attention from both Obama and Congress. Although they waver over how much to demand from the president — particularly in light of defeated GOP challenger Mitt Romney's assertion that Obama gave "gifts" to minorities in exchange for their votes — they are delivering postelection wish lists to the president anyway.

Blacks made up 13 percent of the electorate this year, about the same as 2008, while participation among whites shrank slightly to 72 percent and Hispanics increased to 10 percent, national exit polls showed. Black leaders point to that minority participation as they sharpen their calls for initiatives to address black unemployment, which was 12.7 percent when Obama took office, peaked at 16.5 percent roughly a year later, and stood at 14.3 percent in October. The overall unemployment rate is 7.9 percent.

The enthusiasm of black women was demonstrated in Florida when more than 250 churches marched their congregations to the polls as part of the "Souls To the Polls" early voting campaign, said Melanie Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation. A large percentage of the marchers were women, Campbell said.

“If you voted for Obama, you deserve the misery that you get. Unfortunately, the rest of us who didn’t vote for him are also along for the ride.”
I’ve been saying the same thing ever since the “election,” but you word it so much better than I do.
These faith traditionalists need to learn and experience the Magna Carta and try to fit in with it as that is the basis for modern man, his creativity , innovation and inventions
Inventions... everything from cadillacs to color TV.
Show me another civilization that has had this success.
I seriously believe they don’t ‘get it’.
From what I’ve seen, since 2008, they’re just digging ‘the power’ they ~think~ they have and have been treating white people shamelessly.
The Wal*Mart strip mall is next to what used to be McMansions that are now mostly Section 8 housing.
After his first win, if you walked the strip mall instead of driving to where you needed to go, you were howled at and harassed by ‘yutes’ wearing their “OBAMA” shirts and hoodies.
It was nothing to hear “We in charge, now!”.
It’s settled down somewhat since then but I still don’t go there without hubby or the Dobermann with me.
It’s bad enough we have to deal with the nasty employees and ‘queens’ inside the stores.
I don’t think they understand how life works at all.
The only thing that matters is that check at the first of the month.
They believe they “deserve” it.
What will the REAL (not cooked) black unemployment rate be in 4 years? Predictions?
What “leverage”?
The Dems own you.
You’ll vote for them next time even if they use you to wipe their butts.
Name me ONE stable thriving all-black country in Africa.
he’ll give the more free abortions.
True, if anything Obama has thrown them under the bus, the Democrats have nullified the voice of blacks, they no longer have a say, they can vote Democrat all they want, it won’t make a difference, they are no longer a player, the other minorities have usurped their platform, Compton ain’t black no more, the movie “Colors” and the riots of the nineties look like they were something from another dimension, in a short twenty years illegals and others have changed vast swathes of the American landscape, blacks are taken for granted by the Democrats, they see them as their sole property.
Sorry I stepped on ya. I searched for “Black” and “Voters” before I posted and didn’t see yours.
“What will the REAL (not cooked) black unemployment rate be in 4 years? Predictions?”
The same as whites? >sad< (both as high)
"Oh that's just what we call pillow talk, baby, that's all."
Well showing up hasn’t done us a damn bit of good either.
Immigration has still been used for the dispossession of Whites whether we voted or not.
Romney won 59% of the 72% of eligible white voters who showed up to vote. Had 73% shown up, Romney would've won.
bfl
I just do the Godzilla-sized facepalm when I think of how brainwashed the black population of this country is.
0bama recently ‘met’ with civil rights leaders. How about that.
I can’t remember the name of the country but it’s the one with all the flying unicorns.
After giving 0bama 93%-95% of the vote they are the sole property of the Dems. They don't have to give them squat now. And they won't because political capital is too valuable to give away.
This means those black churchez should absolutely lose their tax exempt status. This is what the terrorcrats on other forums say when churches that support the real America make it known...
Who was the last Dem president who told his constituents not to ask the government for help but to make their own lives free of undo governmental interference? Kennedy’s words are often-quoted, but I’ll bet even Kennedy wanted to increase gov. aid. Does anyone believe Obama or other major Dems will ever tell their followers not to be so dependent on Uncle Sam?
