According to a commentator from Politico.com heard on P. O. T. U. S. (Sirius – XM), over 95% of African-Americans support President Barack Obama. But unlike in 2008 when over 75% turned out to vote, recent polling suggests that only around 45% have indicated they will go to the polls next Tuesday.
A high Black turnout would almost certainly preserve Democrat control of the Senate and might even enable Democrats to retain the House.
Given the influence of the Black clergy over their parishioners and the clergy’s historic leadership on political issues, President Obama will either be buoyed up or let to fall by the extent of their efforts on Sunday.
The big question is will allegiance to one of their own spur voters at the last minute to get off their duffs and cast a ballot. If they don’t, African-Americans will have themselves to blame for undermining the first African-American president.
Is our president really ‘one of their own’??
I was under the impression that he had parents of different races, yet only ‘one’ of those races is ever acknowledged.
I guess he must be ashamed of half of his lineage…..or is it more ‘politically correct’ to only promote one half.
This man is much more complicated than the liberal media would ever acknowledge.
