This woman is saying she will vote for him not matter what. Even if he reauthorizes the Patriot act. Even if he keeps bailing out corporations and raising taxes on low income people. Even if he sends the military on peaceful protesters. Even if he declares himself dictator but holds a mock election for his pride.
Good thing we know there are people who don't think before they vote.
Excuse me? Were any of those qualifiers in the poll? Do you have evidence, based on past performance, that President Obama will declare himself dictator? How absurd.
As a white American I don't vote for a president or official by race. I vote by ability, issues, personality, track record, and political associations. I also like an articulate, personable, and witty leader. I look at what state they come from and what issues were or are more prudent in that state. I even look at the car they drive and tie they wear but not race.
I feel the same way as a black American but for some reason some of my white counterparts seem to believe that's impossible.
Come on, admit it. Blacks only vote for blacks. And they only vote for them because they're blacks. Just ask Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
What?
Okay so what you're really saying is that black people aren't intelligent enough to vote based on anything other than race? You're really saying that black people are incapable of rational thought?

I was hoping you would recognize the sarcasm based on the fact that it's obviously a false statement, since neither Jessie Jackson nor Al Sharpton garnered much support at all, let alone unified support from the black community.
98% of blacks voted for Obama. Ones interviewed coming out of the polls were clueless. Black people I work alongside openly said they voted by race.
After seeing how majority of blacks vote I will never vote for anyone other than a white or Asian.
But, a lot of white people are terrified of being called racist and will do anything to prove it. Obama has a lot of loyalty from these people and I'd be surprised if he doesn't get re-elected in 2012.
I'm not White, I'm Asian. I will not be voting. The Dem And Repub parties both stink. Why should I vote for those who are working for others and have no interest in our concerns.

Sorry, I've just seen that comment so many times on this forum that it's hard to tell when someone is being sarcastic. People have actually had the nerve to say this to my face, tell me flat out they don't care what I say black people vote for black people. It drives me crazy because that's pretty much the same argument they used to keep us from voting in this first place.
They kept running around yelling "the majority of blacks voted for Obama" well the majority of blacks usually vote Democrat so what's your point
