Will Obama get 98% of the Black vote in 2012?

I'd be surprised if he got less. What in tarnation do the Final Four Republicans offer that would attract African-Americans to vote for them?

Certainly not skin color. After all, skin color matters more than effective leadership and political ideals.

Why shouldnt he? He is there champion . I love it because we finaly have a man in office that understands the common man's plight. He is one of us in spirit if anything . He wasnt born a silver spooner . Tell me the last president who wasnt born with a silver spoon? Clinton another dem is kinda close to it but certainly no republican

U are kidding right?
So many white folks are trashing this guy . He will do just fine and has done fine . He has to fight through racism at the highest levels . Some republicans are trying to destroy the economy just to get him out . Rush Limbaugh said it himself that he would rather this president fail then him being wrong .. OBAMA in 2012 good luck

Irish Catholics lined up to vote for JFK, if Mark Rubio is the Republican nominee I am sure he will get a large percentage of the Cuban American vote, but beside that why would the large majority of blacks vote Republican?
The Republicans made a choice with their Southern strategy, they wrote off the blacks.
decisions have effects.

Reagan wasn't born with a silver spoon, so you only had to go back 3 Republican presidents.

Yeah...Obama was born and raised in the Chicago slums, worked hard, put himself through school, made a name for himself and fought every conceivable socio-economic barrier to rise to the top of the political food chain. He's a self-made man that everyday common-folk can relate to.

No wait......:rolleyes:

What about this 2012 Black Voter turnout will it be as big or will the Black Voter just not show up .. No facts or stats just my opinion but a potential 30% drop in Black Voter turnout for 2012

Naw...the leftist media will play the race card to the max right up to election day to get the black voters frothing at the mouth to head to the polls.

Trust me, the MSM will do everything they can to deflect attention from the sour economy and make this a race issue in the same manner they hijacked the ObamaKare church vs. state issue and turned it into a Repubs against women's rights issue.

Bank on it.

Ah yes, The BIG LIE. I am so glad you you took the 'color' out of this by saying 'common man'. Obama is just one of the kind of politician that makes their political living on selling the myth that a person's 'plight' is the result of a boogeyman...rich people, corporations, the system, your employer etc.etc.
Instead of personal responsibility, it is the fault and blame of some other entity that the 'common man' is in his plight. Dennis Kucinich was a master at this, as are most who have (D) after their name. The answer of course from this ilk, is of course, government...not empowerment. It is simply a trade of one kind of slavery for another.... the master now being the government dependency and by extension, the politician and party that feeds your dependency. Votes are traded for hand outs. To the common man...government may seem like a better 'master'...but the economic plight remains the same.

The old saying..."Give a man a fish, and they won't be hungry today, but teach him to how to fish, and they won't be hungry the rest of their lives.." is the truth.

The Democrats say they champion women's and minority 'rights'....but what they are really doing is ensnaring them in victimhood.
They just hate women and minorities that won't fit into their mould and won't enable their lie. That's why Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann and Ann Coulter are c****, and Sandra Fluke is a 'hero'. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are lauded while Condi Rice and Colin Powell, instead of being hailed as examples of empowered minorites, are stained simply by association with Iraq and GWB. Hermann Kain's infidelity destroys his candidacy, but the Clinton's frolic in the Washington limelight.
Instead of pointing up as examples to persons of color and women who don't wallow in their victimhood, they sanction those that do.

It is amazing when a democrat has an ephiphany. Welcome, to the battle my friends. Throw off your yoke and take the first steps toward true freedom.

Gosh I wonder why blacks would reject the Republicans. Barack the Magic Negro, Tea Partiers spitting on black Congressman, carrying signs showing Barack as a pimp or African medicine man, the Pauls and others opposing the 1964 Civil Rights Law that ended De Jure segregation.

No. Even black people are not that stupid.

Are the African-American people better off now than 4 years ago?

Absolutely...In addition to much higher unemployment in the black community, increased participation in Food Stamps, and larger numbers of blacks on the welfare rolls ObamaKare promises to take care of their health care needs.

After all a black person's unemployment check spends just as well as anyone else's.

Four years ago today we were standing on the edge of an economic abyss that Republican deregulation and greed created. Now we, black and white, are climbing out of the hole they created.

It is not much higher than it was when the Republicans left office. They pushed Americans into our worst economic situation in 70 years. And now we dig ourselves out.

I thought the Bammer's $780 billion Porkulus Sammich was supposed to be the Barrack the Magic Negro fix...you know, the "gotta pass it now to keep unemployment from going over 8%" fix?

Wait...I forgot...we're now officially at gubmint reported 8.3%. Guess after 3 years it's workin' as promised.

You guys policies put us in a bigger hole than originally perceived. His mistake was not doubling the stimulus package. Given what he had to work against 8.3 is looking good. It is always interesting how unemployment figures from the BLS were so accepted Republicans before but not now. Your response illustrates the underlying attitude of Republicans to blacks.
"Magic negro", "gubmint"
