Barack Hussein Obama and the White Vote
Mrs. Clinton came out and made a point of noting that she was getting the "white vote". Some accused her of racism even as they were themselves pointing out the same thing but using, in some cases, euphemistic terms to replace "white vote". So, the question is not "Can Mrs. Clinton get the white vote?" but rather "Can Barack Hussein Obama get the white vote?" Can he? Will he? Will the polls reflect that?
Up until the time that BHO's involvement with Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Michelle Obama's "America is a mean country" comments came out, BHO was the man. The question wasn't if he could get the white vote but if he was black enough to get the black vote. His skin tone was too light, his mother was too white and his speech lacked Rev. Jackson rhythm. He got the white vote. He had the black vote. He appeared to have stolen Mrs. Clinton's inauguration robes and was running away with the nomination. That's all changed now.
Look at Pennsylvania. Mrs. Clinton took that state and it is mostly white, older whites, established whites, middle of the road whites. But Pennsylvania has a black population that is about the national average by percentage of the total and BHO did fairly well there. Now look at West Virginia. The black population as a percentage of the whole is significantly less than the national average. In some counties they can count the black families on two hands. Literally. Mrs. Clinton ran away with the vote. Heck, John Edwards got 7% of the vote and he has dropped out of the race. What does that say? I think it says that as time has gone on and knowledge of BHO's hate America background has increased white voters see his as more of a Stokely Carmichael BLACK radical than as a uniter or counter-racist. In other words, where he was a race neutral candidate before he's now the BLACK candidate.
Let's face it folks. Most white folks don't want to vote for a guy who hates them for things they didn't do. His typical white grandmother was a socialist attending a socialist Unitarian church along with his grandfather.BHO's mom was with his dad and step-dad because she didn't want to be a part of that white culture and was rebelling against white society. BHO's wife doesn't like America, thinks it is a mean country in which she could have no pride UNTIL and UNLESS it elected her BLACK husband President. His mentor, pastor, friend, Jeremiah Wright is a racist who thinks that Jesus can only be the true lord God if he will punish the whites for what they did to the blacks. BHO himself didn't feel it was important to render honors to the National Anthem even though he was in the midst of campaigning for that country's highest office. He couldn't bring himself to wear a pin on his lapel of the flag of that country. He reportedly couldn't repeat the Pledge of Allegiance.
White voters know what this means. It means that the BLACK candidate is out to get them. Most will not willingly give him the chance.
