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 will freely say here and now that Barack Obama is not the answer for America and that includes Black Americans!
On the other hand, I agree that Colin Powell is a respected leader with both military and civilian accomplishments that anyone would be proud of. The problem with Powell was that he actually believed that the needs of the country were more important than the needs of the Right Wing, and for that reason he has basically been banished from the Republican Party.
Lol...tell you what don't bother as you're basically fulla s***! But when Wonder Boy Bomb Libya without Congressional Approval to you it's just Dandy!
And as far as "conspiricies" why is the current Secretary of State caught up in Syria and yet Genocide is happening in Mali & Sudan? Yopu dish it but you avoid when it's obvious going the other way!
Blacks vote for blacks. What would blacks say if whites said, "I'm voting for Romney because he's white!". I heard a black man tell a reporter, "There's nothing anyone can say that can make a black man not vote for obama." Nobody said a damn word.
Because he's black.
I think for most balck folks the answer to question 2 aint Mitt
They move the HQ to Trinity, NC from Ohio, in the process laying off over 250 people. They then sold the HQ and stripped the assets from the company leaving just a shell.
In 2011 the opened a manufacturing plant in CHINA which now employes over 1000 CHINESE WORKERS and have begun IMPORTS TO THE USA to compete directly against their other divisions.
The net is that Romney and Bain capital made over $500 million on the deal. The steadfastness of vulture capitalism. Buy it, strip it of assets and throw away the carcas.
He fortunately had all of his investments in other companies and only a small portion of them in the stock market when it crashed. He is 12 years older than myself and was able to tough it out till he could get SS/Medicare. Otherwise he'd be in bad shape. He was lucky, others were not so much so.

There was no meat left out in the blog. The reality is that Romney delibertly cost 250+ people their jobs and has created a manufacturing plant in China and will eventually close the NC plant as part of bankruptcy when the $758 MILLION dollar loan comes due in 2014. They have NO way to pay it back and not enough income to float another loan so the carcas will be thrown to the junk pile again.
