Title: Obama and the white vote - yep, that's a CNN headline

Washington (CNN) -- The nation's first black president could be in danger of becoming a "one-termer" if he can't convince enough white voters that he deserves another four years in the Oval Office.

For weeks, he's hovered around 40% of white voter support - a level that Democratic presidential candidates have struggled with in the recent past and one that analysts believe Barack Obama must maintain in order to win. At the same time, he has to encourage minority voters to go to the polls and capture 80% of their support.

Can someone explain to me why it's racism that he only gets 40% of the white vote but it's not racism that he gets 80% of the minority vote?  :???:

Take it to DU and ask them.

You have to have a convoluted mind to think it's racism.

And does anyone think Colin Powell endorsing Obama is nothing but because he is black?

I've thought that Powell was a RINO for years.

I do believe that race has some factor in it. In fact, a HUGE factor.

Traditionally, would not that Barrack Obamo character be considered "high yellow" by true black people?  

Is there ANYTHING honest about Barrack Obamo?
