Even if 100% of the blacks vote for him in 2012, if Obozo loses a significant number of the white vote such as the moderates (and he probably will) he won't be re-elected, providing the GOP puts up a decent challenge.

Obama gave _______ to blacks who voted for him. Fill in the blank .

Obama gave the closet thing to an "all black" president since Slick Willy to blacks who voted for him.

there is sound political reasoning for doing this.

obama pushes his re-election message to national action network who will be on the ground for him getting out the vote in 2012.

obama will need that ground game to win in 12. national action network will go to the hood, will go to harlem and get those people to the voting booth.
The blacks will not go to the polls in '12. The only reason they went last time was because they thought obama was going to take care of them for life. Now they know the truth. They still like him and want him to win, but not enough to get off the sofa and vote....
Same story for the young voters, they don't usually vote, but the penis fooled them last election.
All of his false promices will make surre they are out partying on election day.
He got a lot of people who never voted before, they won't do it again...

You are who you keep company with, sometimes even being President, can 't change you all that much. Pretend all you want, your soul never changes the real you.

Oh ok, Donald's motives are racist, but not good old boy Al. Yeah right. I'll trust Donald any day over Al Sharpton, Farakan and the rest.

Mr. Shabazz, you wouldn't perhaps be "Nation of Islam," would you?
Mebbie that might be why you don't consider Al Sharpton a racist.
Only white people are racists, right?

Aside from that, of course yet again on CD we have another thread title that is a bald faced lie. Obama did not hire Sharpton to help with 2012, the article says nothing of the sort. What the article does state is Obama will be speaking at the National Action Network, which was founded by Sharpton.

Speaking at an event does not mean that you are hiring the host of that event. Anyone with even very basic education levels should be able to comprehend the difference and that they aren't the same thing, but then again this is CD so we should all be use to thread titles that are total and complete lies.

The Imposter is what he is...soul less. And stupid. Lives in an alternate universe. So, here's Al's big chance to use his best talent, race baiting.

Default line in sand now memorialized in granite

If it wasn't clear enough, the lines are now drawn in granite for the next election.

It would be hard to justify a vote for Obama except by his most rabid hacks.

If sharpton were billed as a comedy act he would have been tossed off the stage for encouraging racism. To have Obama associate with Sharpton is another demonstrated failure of Obama's judgement and estrangement from mainstream America.
