In addition only about 65% out of 42 million voted; so out of that 65%, 95% voted for Obama.
Oh, and by the way; Asians, Jews, Hispanics and College kids all showed more voter turnout for the Democrats in 2008, than before.
Why did White voters vote for Bush, Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Woodrow Wilson, FDR etc....let's not play these games?
According to the US Census Bureau, 68.1% of all Black men and 62.3% of Black women over the age of 16 are in the civilian labor force, compared to 73% of white men, and 59.9% of white women. With racial discrimination and other challenges, more of us are still working than sitting at home.
While the majority of poor people in America are Black, the majority of Black people are NOT poor. Of the 42 million Blacks in this nation, 8.1 million have incomes below the poverty line.
In addition; most who live below the poverty line still work.
I want our government in good hands.
There is nothing bigoted about that.
The Republican Party on the other hand airs a different opinion, they say 'let business be business". Their approach is being optimistic and view outsourcing as a healthy practice. The party cites that let the companies reap the cost advantages of offshoring which will provide a positive effect for the business community in US. The ones that own the businesses. The only advantage to off shoring is that they can get cheap labor in these 3rd world countries or even communist countries (China) who in their right mind is going to work for the equivalent of $300 a month in America?
Listen to what Fox's News Bill O' Reilly has to say. About who is more on welfare white or black.
Since we all know that Fox News is fair and balanced.

the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti–African American racism and fears of lawlessness among Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under the concept of states' rights). Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery prior to the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixiecrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.
The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater[1] in the late 1960s.[2] The strategy was successful in some regards.

The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater[1] in the late 1960s.[2] The strategy was successful in some regards. It contributed to the electoral realignment of Southern states to the Republican Party, but at the expense of losing more than ninety percent of black voters to the Democratic Party. (Yes it is true. more than 90% blacks used to vote for the Republican party.) As the twentieth century came to a close, the Republican Party began trying to appeal again to black voters, though with little success. ( Should have Kept Michael Steele. He was more appealing to Blacks than Herman Cain.) In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized for his party's use of the Southern Strategy in the previous century.[3]
