Actually I was thinking numbers and not percentages; 90 of 90 is everyone inlcuded in that 90%.

But I'll concede to your percentages which puts us back to sqaure one; you think the majority of black people are stupid. So stupid that they can't vote on anything besides race.

A very large number of people who voted for Obama - while not stupid - were uninformed. The number was large enough to make the difference.

A large number of uninformed people vote in every election; what makes this one different?

It was a far larger number, thanks to a concentrated push via ACORN.

Dismantling America

by Thomas Sowell
Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers-- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?

Not saying he doesn't deserve the success he has, just saying his ideas aren't necessarily correct, b.c he is fringe.

Just like a libertarian or green party candidate is considered fringe when running for an election.
His ideas are absolutely correct! It is this current president that has ideas that are "out of the mainstream" and not correct. Obama's ideas are 180 degrees out of phase with our founders. Obama is a Marxist. Our founders loved freedom.

Obama must go. And all his followers with him. He is out of touch with mainstream America. He is attempting to overthrow our government, and for that, he should be arrested and imprisoned.
