Obama's TRUE base is no surprise to us

[angee_is_mad]

but because it is on Nate Silver's blog, maybe now the fauxgressives can buy a clue.

In order for the dems not to get wipe out (probably not going to happen) in 2010 they need to figure out how not to piss off Obama's base. Funny thing is they need Obama's base more than Obama's base need them. Because obama will get re-elected in 2012, but there is no guarantee the same will happen in 2010.

1. Yeah but the folks here don't want to hear about that, Angee

"Looking at the other 11, notice that many of them also have significant non-white statewide populations, which testifies to the fact that Obama's surge electorate was, more than any other feature (including age), non-white. The total number of white voters between the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections increased but one percent, whereas the non-white number grew 19 percent and 23 percent among the subset of non-whites who are African American."

Black folks, Asians, Hispanics etc. are only useful as props and for far too many white "liberals" to pretend to care so much about us while negating, ignoring and even openly mocking our perspective and what we consider to be important.

I'll never forget when a poster in GD did an OP a few months ago basically saying the same thing -- that black Americans were Obama's true base. Girl, you would have thought that person had told every white person in America to eff off and die the way these folks carried on. The fact that his statement was the TRUTH meant absolutely nothing to those here who love to pretend to waive the banner for black rights while blissfully ignoring every single word that black people say (unless there is even the slightest WHIFF of criticism for Obama to be found within).

Edit: Link to the OP I was talking about http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=7597483 The thrashing and wailing within is almost comical.

2. I know, but

since it came from nate silver's blog, I thought it would be more credible to the progressives on here versus coming from you and I.

You know according some folks on here we don't know what the hell we are talking about:crazy:

3. That thread was horrible

a bunch of "internet liberals" and avid Obama haters all shouting that they are Obamas base. Idiots.

4. It's almost kind of funny.

In a "damn, there are too many people here DEEP in denial about their racial issues" kind of way.

As I posted somewhere else, Obama also received a large number of votes from Americans with post-graduate degrees. I wonder if someone started an OP stating that this group was his "base" would there be that much screaming and crying??
