2012, The race based on “race.”
I have spoken with many Latino folks that are disenchanted with Obama. According to them, at least their communities will not be voting for him. They obviously do not speak on behalf of the entire Latin population. For instance, I’m sure after he and Attorney General Eric Holder’s disgusting display involving Arizona and Governor Jan Brewer, The Latin Population in AZ. Will cast their votes the Presidents way. Only time will tell.
As for the African American and Black communities it is obvious they will be casting their vote for Obama. Spending time on a Facebook based political page geared toward African Americans I have found that to be more clear each and every day. Throughout Barack Obama’s Presidency I have listened to the host of this page and most of it’s followers bash the President for leaving them behind after the 2008 election. I’m not quite sure what type of legislation they were expecting from Obama that would single out African Americans and “DO” only for them. But I have learned that after 2 ½ years of being disenchanted it all comes down to race again.
Some on this page are quoted as saying “No one is perfect.” And no one is.. But the more significant quotes are along the lines of “Who has been groomed to take Obama’s place in the White house?” Now understand I am not taking anything out of context, This was purely a racially driven conversation on what “Brother” if you will, can take his place.
So even after the bashing, after the feeling of being used and left behind, The votes will be there purely to keep a half African American man in the Oval office. One can only conclude that no matter what the man does he will have their vote. Unless of course he denounces his African American heritage and then maybe he will only secure half of their votes.
Who can say when it comes to the Caucasian voters what will be cast for Obama. Obama was in fact elected in large by White independent voters. But as all the poll numbers show the President falling fast in overall approval there is still no telling what way folks will lean when it comes dawn to the wire. The only thing I can hope for is that by now Americans alike, at least the majority of them, understand that Conservatism will win the future for all of us.
The one thing Americans should agree on now is that our “Shining city on a hill” is still standing.. Despite the ongoing attacks it has endured over decades of Liberals trying to bring it to it’s knees, despite the pummeling it has withstood from the current President and administration it’s walls have not toppled. It is preposterous to even contemplate giving the man with the wrecking ball another 4 years to swing it!!! Let it be us that mobilizes and helps secure the future of our Shining city on a hill. Let it be us that secure Barack Obama’s place in history as a failed one term President.
