New survey on Obama

Who knows where they get the numbers.

That's true. And polls can be so deceiving. It depends on how a question is phrased and what interpretation the one who answers the querstion has.

In terms of minority groups approving of Obama, I don't think it's as much to do with Obama as it is to do with the D beside his name. I've heard a lot of people bring up the fact that America's black vote went for Obama over 90%. I assume some people are implying black people simply voted for a black person. But that's misleading. Black Americans vote that high for Democrats almost every single time out. The same goes with most minority groups. There's something in the American mainstream that gives minority groups the impression that Democrats have their back, whereas Republicans just want to throw them under the bus. I guess it's because the politicians, pundits and activists expel so much energy in paying lip service to special interest with no real plan of ever following through. The oddest thing in all of this undeterred Democrat support is that, through all the decades minority groups have been voting Democrats in and selling off large pieces of their soul, their plight has only worsened economically, yet the other side still gets 100% of the blame.

It is really a all a mess. No is quite sure what is going on with the minorities. Both political parties have issues as well. I don't see it resolving itself any time soon.
