But anyways, there are 310 Million people in this country and blacks only make up 13% of the population. Fact of the matter is if he wants to be re-elected and stay on a good page with majority of the people he's going to have to visit more white people than black.
Just as a point of reference, during the Civil War 40K black soldiers out of a total 620K soldiers died in the war. The election of Obama was primarily catapulted by white votes. Primarily Liberals and whites with an unbearable degree of guilt trip. Sure! Hispanic votes helped, but they were not the primary factor.

For someone who looks out for the interests of the people. Then again, in order for you to know what those interests and policies are; you would have to do your homework. In addition, start learning things that otherwise would have not motivated you to know about if the economy wasn't in its current condition, thus affecting your future. Besides, if you still find yourself fixated over the race factor then Cynthia McKinney or Herman Cain could be good choices.

Poor whites voting against their own economic self-interest is one thing. But I'm impressed that the Church of the Raging Wingnut can transcend even black identity and self interests!

LMAO....what are you even talking about.
I'll vote for whoever the hell i want at the end of the day. And no one is deserving of an explanation about my reasons for casting that particular vote.

Folks should just worry about their own vote.
Indeed! That's is your right. Nobody asked for any explanation. In fact, you proposed the question, so you got an answer. Soooo... continue your fixation!
While Obama's poll numbers are low, black turnout in major cities in battleground states could over power rural white voters. The black turnout was key in Obama winning unthinkable states in 2008 like North Carolina and Virginia. The democratic national convention will be held in Charlotte, NC in 2012. Clearly the Obama administration sees NC as a battleground state again. Obama won NC because of large black turnout in the state's three largest metro areas: Charlotte, the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) and the Piedmont Triad (Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point). We will see this trend in other battleground states.
No one knows for sure, but there is a pretty good chance the blacks and the young people will not get out and vote the way they did in 2008. he was a novelty, they beleived in "hope and change" and they have been disappointed in many cases.
you opinion and obviously the majority of the Americans do not agree with you. I doubt many think he is a Crown Jewel compared to anyone.
You mention he was in Detroit on Monday, did it occur to you, that might have had something to do with the Unions, Labor Day, looking for all the union support he could get? I would bet it had more to do with unions than the color of anyone's skin.
How many people vote compared to the amount of people that don't vote? There are all kinds of people that have become apathetic because our politics, and politicians are a joke. That was the first thing I noticed when I started paying attention.
I love how many on hear are hoping that blacks and young people don't exercise their right to vote.
