96 percent of black voters chose Barack Obama in 2008. Some black Christian leaders want to change that in 2012. They believe that Obama's pro-gay policies -- mainly his support of gay marriage -- will cost Obama some support from the black, Christian community.
Bishop E. W. Jackson Sr., president of the group Staying True to America’s National Destiny (STAND) started the "Exodus Now" effort to encourage blacks to leave the Democratic party. "It is time for black Christians to have the faith and courage to refuse to associate with the Democratic Party that has become anti-Christian, anti-Israel, anti-Church, anti-Bible, anti-life, anti-family and anti-God,” said Bishop Jackson.
Bishop Jackson added, "...The Democratic Party has shown itself to be so inimical to the biblical values of Christians and Jews that it is time for a mass exodus. The Democratic Party has turned its back on us, it’s time to turn our back on them."
The National Urban League published a report called, “The Hidden Swing Voters: Impact of African-Americans in 2012.” The report suggests that Obama will lose re-election if only 60% of blacks turnout in 2012 -- the same amount that turned out in the 2004 presidential election, which George W. Bush won.

History proves blacks will vote for a black no matter what, even if the candidate happens to be a whore mongering crack smoker like Marion Barry, elected as Mayor of DC and current Ward 8 Councilman,
You ever work at a voting station and see how the different people vote? Spend a day, from 7AM to 7PM at a voting station in a typical mixed race area with everyone, Hispanics, Asians, blacks and whites. It's an educational experience.
At the end of the day, though, any one using social issues like gay marriage and abortion to decide the Presidential election is an idiot. Bush was never capable of banning abortion or passing an anti gay marriage amendment, Obama hasn't really helped the gay marriage cause other than tossing out some rhetoric. Presidents, by and large, have little to no effect on those issues. Those are issues that play out mainly in the states and courts.
This election should be decided based on the economy and jobs and to a lesser extent now the foreign policy situation that has exploded.
The thing about pre-existing conditions is that its not economically feasible for either private insurance companies or for the Federal government. See whats going on in Greece? We'll be there much faster when Obamacare goes into full effect. The problem is that simply trying to give coverage doesn't actually fix the foundational issue with healthcare - cost at the price point. It merely shifts the burden. Real healthcare reform needs to start by addressing cost in the industry. What Obamacare is is false hope and an economy destroyer.
Obstruction from Congress huh? Thats what you think. Come on. Look macro and stop being spoon fed your information. Obama had two years with a very favorable Congress, so much so that he was able to pass Obamacare. Why didn't he pose jobs legislation then? Why didn't he pass that first? That was the most pressing need, its what got him elected. He didn't push or attempt to pass anything during those two years.
The economy isn't improving. The only factor that is improving is Wall Street - which is artificial. It doesn't help everyday workers. The private sector is terrified of this adminis...

The economy isn't improving. The only factor that is improving is Wall Street - which is artificial. It doesn't help everyday workers. The private sector is terrified of this administration because its hostile toward business. I guarantee you this, we'd be in a much better situation economically and job wise if Obamacare had not passed. Businesses aren't dumb. They plan and forecast and they are sitting on a ton of capital to spend on equipment and employees that they're holding because Obamacare will cost so much.
I feel for you, I understand what you want. But you're looking at this from an entirely rhetorical point of view - full of one sided information. You need to look macro, look at the bigger picture and give both sides a chance. I didn't vote for Obama but I expected certain things from his Administration and gave him a chance. Between Obamacare, the economy and now foreign policy there is zero reason to reelect him. The bs about Romney not caring and about it being all Congresses fault is a distraction.
