If you're black and you vote Republican YOU ARE AN IDIOT, reason #9000

Well they'll get even poorer if they vote Republican. Though that statement isn't entirely honest.

Shouldn't the black leaders be the ones who are leading the charge out there to raise the poor in the black community instead of blaming everything on the republicans?

They are!

But
1) Their voices are being stifled; and
2) White leaders will replace them with stupid black leaders pumped up with piles of white cash.

I bet you don't even realize Rev Sharpton is on a crusade against gangster rap.

And even had they not the result would have been the same. It's not like Obama won by a minor edge and that would only apply in 2008 anyway. The fact of the matter is he was the better candidate by a strong margin both times.

Mitt Romney got 47% of the popular vote vs Obama's 51%: 65,915,796 vs 60,933,500. A 5 million vote margin.

That's not a strong margin.

Reagan in 1980 won by 10 million... that's a stronger margin.
Bush won in 1988 by a margin of 7 million voters... that's a strong margin.

5 million is not a strong margin.

glad to see that we all can agree that liberalism and one's belief in obama are signs of mental illness

Good job LJ. You agreed with Jen.

On a serious note 5 mill is a decent margin when you factor in how many Americans don't vote period and how many Americans (like me) simply don't bother with sure bets. I'm a Californian. Voting for Obama was a waste of time, gas and money. While I did vote (the first time) I have two parents and they clearly out voted me on Prop 8 and nothing else that year mattered. 2012. . .yeah wake up. . .NOT. Just like 2016 I have no inclination to bother voting for Hilary.

Oh come on, of course you're inclined to vote for Hillary.

You'll get out and vote for no other reason but to watch Bill Clinton, a former 2-term President, become the America's first First Husband. A former President and most powerful man on Earth, now the first spouse. That's fucking QUANTUM WEIRDNESS. The skies will explode in polkadots and Paternalistic Republicans who don't die of heart attacks on election night will be killing their own families or throwing themselves off bridges the next morning in front of eager sightseers armed with cell phone cameras. It'll be a media circus to end all media circuses. And you'll be able to say "I voted for that."

Not in the least. Not because I don't think she's gonna win and not because I don't want her to win (I'd rather Elizabeth Warren) but I'm a Democrat in California. I have no particular reason to care about voting. My vote doesn't matter and we both know it.

I didn't vote for Obama the second time either and I really bothered the first time because I was too young to vote in 2000, was still in the military in 2004 so 2008 was my first presidential election. However it's not exactly like I get to pretend like I'm not an Obama supporter.
