Study: Obama foes aren't race-driven

Racism is not a factor driving conservative opposition to President Barack Obama, according to the results of focus groups conducted by Democracy Corps, a Democratic organization, released on Friday.

Nevertheless, members of the conservative base of the GOP said they believe the president is pursuing a “secret agenda” designed to push the country toward socialism.

“This is a pretty dominant view in the Republican Party,” said Democratic strategist James Carville, who worked on the report.

Rather than attributing their dislike of Obama to race, participants in the focus groups, which were a project of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, said that their disaffection was borne out of a sense that the president was orchestrating an effort to steer the country away from its “founding principles.”
“They want him to fail,” said pollster Stan Greenberg. “It’s not just a political motivation, it’s an ethical imperative given what they think Obama’s goals are.”

They do have a point, it isn't just the the usual opposition politics coming into play. There is a fear on the part of conservatives of what 0Bama is doing to the economy , and the path he is leading us down. IMO

The MSM will be covering this very soon. :sarcasm:

This study, which had gone down such a racist road, has, at the last moment and at great expense, been redone in an entirely new style.
