yea, and I guess he visited the inner city where all the slums that he helped build. He along with all the other democrats have done sooo much for the inner cities in the last 60 years. He was in a fenced in area with a carefully screened group of union officials, retires and their families. Drink the coolaid!

and in close elections, 13% is a big percentage. Without a high black turn out, it might be a repeat of the Kerry/Bush election. There will be many black voters who will get out and vote just to keep an African-American in the White House. They want to live through this historical time period as long as they can because who knows when the next time this country elects another African-American as president.

Yes I have, and almost any of them would be better than Obama.

what will the blacks do if hillary runs for the nomination? Will they scream "racism" against someone in their own party, I doubt.

Maybe it depends more on how pissed white liberals are, maybe they will finally pick an independent candidate or stay at home because I doubt any conservative candidate will appear more appealing to them than even Obama does.

Lets be honest with a statement like that you never have and never will vote for Obama.
