Black voters look to leverage their loyalty - Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON (AP) — When black voters gave President Barack Obama 93 percent support on Election Day in defiance of predictions that they might sit it out this year, black leaders breathed a collective sigh of relief.

That encouraged those leaders to try to leverage more attention from both Obama and Congress. Although they waver over how much to demand from the president — particularly in light of defeated GOP challenger Mitt Romney's assertion that Obama gave "gifts" to minorities in exchange for their votes — they are delivering postelection wish lists to the president anyway.

"I think the president heard us loud and clear. The collective message was, 'Let's build on where we already are,'" the Rev. Al Sharpton told reporters after a White House meeting last week with a collection of advocates representing largely Democratic constituencies.

Yep, cause it worked so well the first term. LBJ had the minority communities pegged, keep promising and they'll keep voting. Right up to the point there's nothing left to offer.

Time to pay up Obama...isn't that how it works today..

this country is doomed if that is what people are voting for

 

[ScienceRocks]

It shouldn't surprise that blacks would vote as a race. I guess it's only racist when whites do it. LOL

What the fuck do they want? More welfare? More double standards to hurt other people without punishment??? WHAT???

What do prolifers want when they go vote for a person?
what do lower tax people want when they do?
or immagration reform, or energy..

You people need to actually go educate yourself on what politics is about.

The difference here is that those voting for a guy who'll give them lower taxes don't whine like little bitches when someone correctly points out that they are getting something for their vote.

Obama got well over a million less black votes then last time, maybe he owes Hispanics more than blacks. Obama definitely owes more to the union thugs, and they'll be collecting
