#1 No, I don't believe all black people who voted for Obama did so because he was black. There were more white people who voted for him. But I do believe there were those who were caught up in the hype.

Got to cling to some myths. Percentage of whites who voted for Obama, percentage of blacks who voted for Obama? Here's what CNN shows. In the old statistical meme of + or - 5%, it appears to be a solid block compared to any other grouping.

#2 In my agenad when you vote basing on the color of the skin you are a racist and that also applies to Blacks.

#3 JFM: BTW- 91% of Blacks still support him...which proves that skin color (not content of character) matters only.

#4 Actually, the last poll I read has 98% of blacks supporting Obama.

#5 I'd say that most of the 'whites' also voted for him based on his skin color.

#6 After some Google Fu: June 23, 2010
Confidence Waning in Obama, U.S. Outlook
Approval for Mr. Obama has dropped among Hispanics, too, along with small-town residents, white women and seniors. African-Americans remain the firmest part of Mr. Obama's base, with 91% approving of his job performance.

I defer to Hammerhead.

#7 Well, when people of a certain color realize that obama isn't going to pay their mortgage or put gas in their cars or mail them checks that let them quit their jobs, (and no, I don't think that group is a majority of the minority) they will decide it is somebody's fault, and that somebody won't be obama...
