| Polls Say Whites are Abandoning Obama, too |
| 2012-10-26 |
| More front-page bad news at the WaPo. Maybe they're trying to energize their base? The 2012 election is shaping up to be more polarized along racial lines than any presidential contest since 1988, with President Obama experiencing a steep drop in support among white voters from four years ago. Over that "White Guilt" thing, perhaps? But now, Obama [is] trailing Republican Mitt Romney 60 percent to 37 percent among whites. That presents a significant hurdle for the president -- and suggests that he will need to achieve even larger margins of victory among women and minorities, two important parts of the Democratic base, to win reelection. He's gonna have a tough time getting more than the 97% of blacks who support him. And I read that statisitic, which - quite frankly - shocked me. |

| #2 About that 97% of blacks supporting him, and hard for him to get many more? In some parts of Chicago, 108% of blacks support him. |

| #1 I saw an interesting theory about why he is hding his birth certificate: because he was registered as a White. And his father was registered in Kenya as Arab since he had three quarters of Arab blood and only one querter Black. If true and his birh certificate would be leaked then he is toast: no way he would still hold the racist Black vote. Not to mention that post 9/11 solme people would not feel commfortable with a half Arab, one who has written "Dreams of my father" sitting at the WH |
