Comments on: Obama Faces Hurdles Expanding Black Vote

Washington Post: New Voters Are Key To His Strategy, But It's Easier Said Than Done

[dante805]

Finally people are waking up to the fact that Obama is an Elitist. A Harvard Lawyer who wants ANOTHER Harvard Lawyer - Tim Kaine - VA Gov as his running mate. Egads. Lawyers are ruining this country. STOP electing them to the Senate House and White House. Look at the mess the Senate is in under the mis-leadership of Harry Reid and *** Durbin. Nothing is getting done. VOTE MCCAIN or NADER send a message to the DEMs that you are not in LOCK step and have a mind of your own.

[wellhell3]

AND your money will become global fodder and the people of THIS country won''t get a damned dime of it!

[wellhell3]

Obscamma''s got 95 to 98% of the black vote! He can only expand it to a few more percentages! Didn''t his magna cumma lordie Harvard degree teach him the meaning of the word minority?

People, if you don''t get out and vote AGAINST this Islamofast hugging bastward, your sovereign country and it''s Constitution will be buried under global authority!!!

I hope the media stops treating Obama liked a rock star.

[jsm-ddg56]

It is pathetic when people strictly vote based on race. I am not black but I am also a minority but I hate it when my vote is categorized based on my race.

Troubling signs about obama. The predominate ideology of obama is one of a black racist marxist, his liberal background is second to no one in the senate, his ever changing positions are such that no one knows what he stands for or what he believes, he is a man devoid of morals, political or otherwise. His organizing of the black electorate and youth of this country is a warning sign that those who do not want to see a socialist in the white house had better get some enthusiasm about the candidacy of mcclain. Blacks are going to vote in historical and overwhelming numbers for obama. They are votintg strictly on race, anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial. Republicans must show up to vote in great numbers, and with the help of moderate to right democrats they can reject this fraud called obama. These Democrats will never vote party before country. obama is wrong for America.

Obama wants those living in high populated areas to register to vote, So he gets more of the electoral college vote. Minorities and Blacks live in those areas.

Obama has already promised the Blacks the promised land. He has promised them reparations for slavery. What more can he promise them?

Obama is a marketing creation, take a man from no where, with nothing and make him a President. All the money spent on marketing and PR to do that is amazing.

Plus add in his highly motivational mind conditioning sales speeches. The reinforcement of ads to keep the conditioned minds feed with the Rhetoric and conditioning The cash flow into the media has been vast, and has to be kept up to the ultimate level to succeed.

Shame Obama does not have a anything that is substantial background or anything Good he has done for the country or the people to run on. Just marketing, PR a speech, mind conditioning, Hope and a prayer.

Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and Rev Wright all back him. Have helped mentor him and shape him and got him to where he is. Obama is the smooth talker of them and for them. He can attain for them, what they could not, because of his gift of oration.

[johnbush2-2009]

Anyone who thinks a fraud is going to win against a war hero is either living in dreamland or is a weed smoking liberal.

[johnbush2-2009]

Maybe he should ask Jesse Jackson to be VP. Then the black vote might increase.

Jesse thinks Obama talks down to Blacks.

Jesse Jackson wants to cut Obama''s nutts off. He doesn''t want to be Obama''s VP.

[kstar42]

If 95 percent of black voters support Obama
Obama can win Nevada if he increases black turnout by 8 percent.But an increase in overall black turnout could help offset a poorer performance among other voters.Gaining greater African American support could well put Obama over the top in states where Democrats have come close in the past two elections, and could also help him retain the big swing states of Pennsylvania and Michigan.Southern states with large black populations, such as Georgia and North Carolina
There''s going to be a record number of African Americans turning out," 23 times in this article blacks or african americans were mentioned....now see what Barack Obama''s plan is? And it ain''t for the white people...wake up america who is he anyways?

I am glad you are posting these numbers because the fact is that enthusiasm is what will get people to the voting booths this year. The enthusiasm gap between these two guys is huge and will only get worse, especially if McCain selects Mitt as his VP. The Evangelicals who don''t think the Latter Day Saints are Christians will stay home. Forget about it if there is bad weather or gas prices are still high. Zero enthusiasm voters will stay home. Bob Barr''s enthusiasm numbers will get his folks out in big enough numbers to siphon votes away from McCain. Those states that were within 3-7 percentage points in 2004 will go Democratic this November.

OBAMA FOR 8 YEARS

Capitalism has ran its Course, it is time to embrace other economic policys. Socialism and Marxism is what will bring America back to its once great standing. What do you say Comrad.

We Must Have Govement Controled Schools
We Must Have Goverment Controlled Energy
We Must Have Goverment Controlled Housing
We Must Have Goverment Controlled Food
We Must Have Goverment Controlled Jobs
We Must Present and Equality for Everyone.
We have the resources , We can do it.

We can reach a Perfect Socialist Utopia.

But we cant do it alone. Tell everyone What Obama can do for you and this country. Marxism is no longer a Bad Word. Embrace it, Spread it.

[besscannon-2009]

I''ll more believe Obama is what he says he is when I see him debate one on one with McCain at some townhall meetings. I honestly believe Obama is afraid he will stammer and fall on his face without a teleprompter or speecwriter telling him what to say. If he is what he says he is, what''s to fear?? I think refusing shows him to be either a coward or a fraud, or both.

[beader59]

Obama is an arrogant jerk. If he doesn''t pick Clinton he will continue to show his ignorance. She did approx. half of the Democratic vote, doesn''t that tell anyone with a shred of intelligence that she is the logical choice. If he picks the female governor, we would have to inexperienced morons in office; if he picks a republican, he will further destroy the Democratic party; and if he picks one of the men he is supposedly thinking of, he is totally lying about his pledge for change and getting away from the old school. But Obama changes his mind like he changes his clothes. Why in the world anyone voted for him is beyond me. Oh yeh, they think he gives a good speech.

After Obama%u2019s speech to an estimated 200,000 Germans in Berlin, a columnist for Britain%u2019s Guardian newspaper began his review this way: %u201CBarack Obama has found his people. But, unfortunately for his election prospects, they''''re German, not American.%u201D


Obama''''s speech to the Germans left much to be desired, from an American%u2019s perspective.


For starters, the crowd%u2019s size was beefed up by the fact that the event was billed as a free rock concert for German citizens, with popular musical performers helping to draw the big crowd. Scant U.S. media even noted the warm-up rock draws of reggae artist Patrice and rock band Reamonn.



Then there was the simple stage, with the podium surrounded by three potted plants. Missing was the American flag -- nowhere to be seen. Perhaps Obama%u2019s staff might consider the U.S. flag offensive.


And then there was his speech, in which he proudly proclaimed he was in Germany as a %u201Ca fellow citizen of the world.%u201D


And there was the spectacle of the presidential wannabe going to a foreign land to apologize about the United States.

Didn''t Obscamma''s magna cumma Lordie degree from Harvard teach him what the word ''minority'' means?
