Correction. Dumbed down democrats aren't interested in facts or reality.
The black voter turnout was largely driven by a desire to elect the first Black president. According to ABC polls, 96 percent of African American voters were predicted to vote for Obama. Exit polls show that 93% of blacks voted for Obama second time around (95% first time).
Many are still buzzing about "the first black president" as if that were his greatest achievement.
Gore, Kerry, and Clinton received about 90% of the black vote.
Obama's presidency has been one of abject failure and economic misery, scarred by scandal. The only jobs the admin has "created" are part time jobs. Incomes, savings, and standard of living has fallen during the Obama administration, and we have three more years of this downtrend to endure.
2016- How are the libs going to promote four more years of liberal "rule" after this debacle? Will Americans be dumb enough to vote for another liberal and doom the nation to four more years of economic misery? Has the electorate become conditioned, via government treats for votes programs, to simply vote democrat, regardless of performance and personal voter economic misery?
Libs- If liberal policy is so great, why do we have greater numbers of unemployed (or underemployed), lower incomes, lower savings, and more people on food stamps? The only people that appear to have prospered under Obama is the "1%ers"- oddly the people that Obama purports to hate.
It is hilarious to read conservatives and their political predictions about the Presidency. Nearly every conservative pundit and most conservatives on C-D were certain President Obama couldn't win with unemployment at this level, with the unpopularity of Obamacare, with abject failure of his Presidency.
conservatives were certain that the rest of America saw President Obama in the same way that conservatives see President Obama.
conservatives believed these fictional ideas even when polling data showed that President Obama was going to win. Of course the Election wasn't particularly close, President Obama won by 5 million votes and became the first President since FDR to get 51% or higher of the electorate's votes twice.
conservatives are now making more irrational predictions about 2016. conservatives don't learn.

We underestimated the stupidity of Obama's base, as well as the size of the dependent class. King Obama also lost 10 million votes from 2008 to 2012. If Romney had been able to neutralize the DNC's smear campaign, which was all King Obama ran on, then we would have been spared another term of this failed tinpot despot.
If anyone "doesn't learn", it's the mindless drones that voted for King Obama twice.
The better question is how much longer can the GOP froth at the mouth for losing national elections.
The Republicans have no chance in 16, and regaining the Senate os a pipe dream. Lucky for them they redistricted themsevea into a House majority, so maybe by tye time theyre finally ousted, theyll have tried to repeal the ACA a good 200 times.

Obama became the only president to win reelection with less votes than in his first term. Even the much-despised George W. Bush won reelection with more votes than in his first term.
That's pretty much the same thing you guys were saying in the run-up to the 2012 elections, and we all know how well that worked out for you. So just keep saying it. Over and over, while clicking the heels of your Ruby Slippers. See if that get's you back to Kansas.
The American electorate does not live inside the same right-wing echo chamber you do. Unlike the frothing nabobs at Free Republic or WND, they can tell the difference between a real scandal and an Issa witch hunt; between a recovering economy and an imploding one; between starting unpopular and unnecessary wars and ending them; between pragmatic collaboration and unreasoned obstructionism. They will make their decisions based on what their experience tells them... not what Mitch McConnel does.
The greatest weakness of the current American right is their inability to learn from their own mistakes.
Keep clicking those heels. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.
It works in the movies.
Excellent post and here is the "kicker"! They still haven't learned after losing 2 Presidential Elections to Obama!
Obama became the only president to win reelection with less votes than in his first term. Even the much-despised George W. Bush won reelection with more votes than in his first term.
Well if he didnt get more votes in his second term he would have lost, seeing as how Gore won the popular vote and the SCOTUS elected Bush the first time around.

That would be so nice if it would work in this case. Have to remember, though, Dorothy just bumped her head, and it was a dream she woke up from, or was it?. This is a reality, albeit, more of a nightmare than a dream that we are living in. Even if we clicked till we rubbed the ruby red off our slippers, I doubt we would ever see Kansas, again. Probably because most never realized they had the power to go home the whole time....

You mean the high dollared Romney campaign failed to run a successful smear campaign against President Obama.
Also, you don't elect kings, you elect presidents.
Did Republicans really think independents would vote for flip-flop Romney? That race was over as soon as Romney was nominated. Ron Paul was their only chance, and they dismissed him.
