I would say that is the American blue-collared worker that has fared the worse and not just in the last 4 years.

It's not narrow minded or black or white thinking, only people like you think like that based on people's skin color. I think in terms of common sense and right or wrong, something you clearly have a limited ability to understand.

You vote for who you are told to vote for, you follow orders well.

Not all black people have fared the worst, many of them who aren't Democrat voting fools are doing quite well. Its' funny how that works out when you have a work ethic and want to work.

That's pretty interesting considering it was you who brought up race & insisted I have no reason to vote democrat unless my skin color is black.

I vote for who I want to vote for based on what that party or individual stands for. Your limited mind can only think in terms of absolutes & narrow confines based on what you are told to think. See how that works?

I voted for Obama because he was half white.

That would be quite true. Between illegal immigration and our out of control social program politics the middle class workers of this country have been kicked in the nuts more times than they can count.

Oh please, you can't even explain why you vote for Democrats and I'm sure the thought of ever voting for anyone but a Dem has never crossed your mind. It's in the DNA, much like old Southern racism the only way to get rid of it is for the people to die off with old age.

Actually, I know some Black people who voted Democrat and have jobs. How does who a person votes for determines whether or not they get hired? Your train of thought is "if you vote Democrat, you won't get a job". That sounds ridiculous. No matter who the president has been, Blacks have had the highest unemployment rates in the nation. This is not a partisan problem. Why is it that Blacks have the highest unemployment rates, whether it's under a Republican or a Democrat?

Well, the OP was talking about people who voted in the 2012 election.

So conservatives don't want him, after he was elected a conservative politician and ran for president as part of the conservative party?

I love it when people try and recast history. People already know that reality doesn't happen like it does in your imagination, so it would help your own credibility to stop trying.

Actually, I told you there were many reasons I vote democrat. I don't need to list them to you because quite frankly, I don't care about you. And actually, I voted republican once in my life, when I didn't know any better.
So there goes that ignorant assumption. Any others you want to try or have I embarrassed you enough for the day?
