In 1964 they were 12% of the population. They are now supposed to be 13%. That’s 1% growth in 44 years? Not likely. If the true population was out they would lose their “minority” status and all the goodies.

Back at the beginning of JuneLeading Democratic fundraisers predict that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) will raise hundreds of millions of dollars over the next few months if he opts out of public financing and begins raising money for the general…

NYT poll: Majority now believes Obama says what he thinks people want to hear

Wait a minute. NYT need a poll to tell us “Obama brings out the FlipFlopers in most of us”?

The frequency of his flipflopping REFLECTS the thinking of us majority?

/Of course, it is not his fault that he changes his positions so often. It is OUR own indecision.

Sounds like a waste of money to me…

Bloom off the rose. People think Obama is pandering.Similarly, Powerline:It’s fair to say that Obama has now admitted that he was wrong about the most important national security issue that has arisen during his brief time in public life.Straight-talk…

That people are just now figuring out that this remarkably unaccomplished politician would say anything to further his own political goals is the real mind twister.

Great post; every word I agree with.

Me too.

Watching black rappers wearing a million dollars in bling, stepping out of their Bentley’s to declare that “the struggle” is still on boggles the mind.

Great post; every word I agree with.

Your son’s retort classic. I just finished a six hour documentary on Lincoln. (American Experience from Netflix). All 3 discs were great, but the third is awesome.

Maybe the fellow who told your son he can’t understand cause “he’s not black” would be advantaged by learning more about the sacrifices of others along the inexorable road forward towards the institutional equality of today.

[17% of AA's thinking that they are not a minority anymore indicates some progress, eh... ;-]

“no matter how stupid and uninformed elitist liberals think everyone who doens’t live in CA and NY are, they can spot a BS artist and a liar.”

They are spotting you now, Mr. Obama.

“stupid and uninformed elitist liberals think everyone who doesn’t live in CA and NY are to dumb to spot a BS artist and a liar.”
More accurate?
.
BO doesn’t say what people want to hear so much as people hear what they want from his empty rhetoric.

“no matter how stupid and uninformed elitist liberals think everyone who doens’t live in CA and NY are, they can spot a BS artist and a liar.”

They are spotting you now, Mr. Obama.

Never fooled a few of us. Why this is surprising to an even remotely thinking person is the real miracle.

THINK OBAMA IS A BULLSHITTER.Three months and the rest of America is on the same page as PrestoPundit in March…….

I am very, very confused by that poll.

You’re not alone there! Too many numbers, print too small and when I cntrl ++ it just gets blurry….or maybe it’s the Jameson.

Not to mention the ethnic cleansing going on in this country by the Illegal Alien chuntes killing black Americans and being supported by people like L.A. Mayor Tony Villar, LAPD Bill Bratton, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc. We see it all the time!!!

On the bright side, look at the even distribution of both ignorance and stupidity! Hooray for diversity!

Agreed; train wreck central.

Go Tigers!

Notice how the MSM continues trying to sweep The Illegal Alien Crisis under the rug? ha ha ha

The race based recriminations alone are going to be entertaining to watch.

You thought Bush/Gore was bad? Ha! HAHA! HAHAHAHAHAH! Believe, the lawyers will have a field day!

Interesting that 80% say the national economy is fairly bad or very bad, and 67% say it’s getting worse, while 71% say the financial situation in their own household is very good or fairly good. So, they aren’t necessarily experiencing the sky falling, but they’re pretty sure it is because the MSM (and Chuckie Schumer) told them it is.

And why are they asking favorable/unfavorable questions about Bill Clinton? I mean, who cares?

And when they poll on affirmative action, which is banned by voters every time it comes up on a state ballot, why do they always have to phrase it with the caveat: In order to make up for past discrimination, do you favor or oppose programs which make special efforts to help minorities get ahead? If they don’t include that introductory clause, and simply ask the second half of the question, are they afraid of what the answer might be?
