African-American voters see court fight as affront to Obama
Associated Press ^ | Feb 28, 2016 12:03 PM EST | Errin Haines Whack

Watching the fight unfold between President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans over who should choose the next Supreme Court justice, Michael A. Bowden got angry at what he saw at the latest affront to the first black president.

And then his thoughts turned from Washington to his own state.

Obama won't be on the ballot this fall, but Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey will - and Bowden has made defeating him in November a priority. [...]

Democrats are pressuring senators in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin to back down from their refusal to confirm or even consider Obama's nominee to succeed the late Antonin Scalia or face the consequences in November. In some states, they may get help from African-Americans who see the court battle as the latest GOP snub of Obama - one rooted in racism, which could galvanize a crucial component of the Democratic voting bloc. ...

AP showing how racist they are once more. "African-Americans" are just a tool for them to push their leftist agenda.

Playing the race card yet again.

YAWN.

I guess they were now hoping for 8 years of playing the vagina card.

I don’t see how any thinking person cannot see through this guy.

I submit the Strong Delusion of the Last Days has already begun to some degree.

So we’re led to believe that a group that votes 90% Democrat in every election were going to vote GOP this time unless they oppose BHO’s nominee?

If you wonder why news outlets are losing readership, this is one reason

“It’s not like they were going to vote Republican anyway.”

Because they are of the “let’s compare skin color genre” when it comes to voting, they won’t be voting at all. For most of them it’s just a couple of white honkeys running, so they will stay home in record numbers taking inventory of their free $hit.

Show some respect.

Without the black underclass to prop up white liberal elites - - they wouldn’t be able to elect a dog catcher...

95% won’t vote GOP anyway.

I won’t miss many of the Senators they are targeting.
They’re Democrats in R jerseys and will probably back down on the nomination.

Don’t do as Obama did, filibuster against an opposition party’s judicial nomination. Instead do as Obama dictates and rubberstamp his nomination no matter how awful.

the black president deserves no respect because he has lost all claim to presidential deference, in spite of the fact he is black

President Barak Obama. When you rearrange the letters they spell:

An Arab Backed Imposter.
