Where Obama Still Polls Strongly

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With African Americans. However, even they are unhappy with Obama's Ferguson performance.

 

 

As The Washington Post reports,

President Obama has pointedly refused to weigh in on what happened in Ferguson, Mo., aiming not to inflame an already delicate situation.

 

That approach, though, is not earning him his usual strong marks from his most loyal base of support: fellow African Americans.

 

A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News shows that blacks still approve of Obama's handling of the issue by a significant margin. But the 63 percent who approve is his lowest rating on any of seven issues tested in recent months by WaPo and ABC. It's also 28 points below his overall approval rating among blacks, 91 percent in a late-October Post-ABC poll.

 

Further, the 30 percent of African Americans who disapprove of Obama's handling of Ferguson is an unusually high number. This demographic, after all, voted for Obama 93-6 in 2012 and 95-4 in 2008.

"African-Americans" in St. Louis are about to find out what tribalism is all about. Zemir Begic, a Bosnian, was murdered in cold blood by hammer-wielding "African-Americans". Bosnians, Serbs, and Croatians who are here have fled a ten plus year civil war. These people are battle hardened. Those of you yelling "kill Whitey" are about to find out what's what, you dig?

How does MONTHS of showing blacks behaving badly....

Selfish, ignorant, violent, criminal behavior benefit their cause ?

Just like with ebola (which disappeared immediately after the elections) I am left wondering "What is the REAL reason for this Ferguson event ?"

To justify black profiling and discrimination ?

To justify a stronger police state ?

I'm confused as to how they think anything good can come from this.

FBI crime statistics alone provide SLAM DUNK justification for profiling blacks.

 

To NOT profile them, would be a gross misue of police resources, and thus taxpayer money.

They're not interested in anything good coming from it.

They're dividers.... this further divides the country with two clear sides... it rallies their base.... it instills hate....  it causes chaos where they are happy to be.

War on the 1%, war on women, war on immigration,  social justice.... now, it's a war on whitey.

This  president and party represent everthing that I believe that is truly evil in this world.   I don't know if we'll make it through the next 2 years.

Here in St. Louis, our other dominant, newer immigrant group (in addition to the Bosnians), are the VIetnamese.

 

They also absolutely loathe sullen, thieving and violent black savages, and unlike the established white community, are like the newly arrived Bosnians, unable to physically distance themselves from the Zulu detritus.

 

I expect to see either, or both of these two groups, actively defend their right to live in civilized peace.

 

Semi-literate black thugs operating at the level of wild animals, are absolutely no match for organized groups of pissed-off white men.

~"Could it be .....
....... racism?"~

Maybe, but I'm in favor of thinking it's outright stupidity. Democrats in general and Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro in particular have totally sodomized Americans in general and negro Americans in particular by not dealing with "Undocumented Foreign Nationals", (a real effin' euphemism if I ever heard one).

Ask yourself this: who is at the bottom of the economic ladder in this country? "Black" Americans. Whose jobs get taken by these UFNs? Those at the bottom of the economic rung, namely said negroes and teenagers looking for "entry-level" employment. So you'd figure that the "black community" would be up in arms about UFNs, right?

Nope. And that folks, is stupidity. When you're too dumb to realize the @$$-boring you're getting, that is as ignorant as ignorant gets. The destruction of the "African-American" family is complete. 72%+ of its children are born out of wedlock. As a social group they have the lowest high school graduation rate of any ethnic group in America. They are also incarcerated at higher percentages, regardless of age group than any other ethnic group. But here's the cruel part.

They still think Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro is "their man" and has "their back".

All this media "sympathy" is just making them look bad.

Abortion laws are a form of "ethnic cleansing".

They aren't very bright, and their "leaders"......should have been saying STOP IT, you're making us all look bad.

The govt won't stop favoring their sponsors.

The 1% won't give up their freebies.

To make this whole thing perfect is that the said UFNs won't be qualified for obamacare and employers won't have to offer it to them and won't incur a penalty for not giving them healthcare....

so, why would a company offering low paying jobs hire anyone except these people?

so... I'm sure you can already see the outrage at this coming soon.... so, now you HAVE to make them able to collect benefits.... they're paying taxes.... blah blah blah.....

Straighten up folks, this is all about the militarization of local police forces. The only thing Obie is concerned with is increasing the US Debt.

He's Obie Debt Brother, no? Beholden to the bankers who collect the interest, can't you see the plan and the smoke? He DOUBLED our debt in his term, $6,000,000,000,000 

Whether it was 5 or 8, WHERE DID IT GO??? Who got it? Who spent it? The Banks' black hole? The Military's black hole? It didn't boost wages (forget about boosting GDP that's fake any way you look at it).

He's a Bullshit Artist EXTRORDINAIRE, and an ILLUSIONIST as well (he made all that money disappear).

PS- Read Matt Taibbi's THE DIVIDE new book.

Mike Brown is a big concern of Ferguson's, and of me as well, but it's not the only concern. Please keep your eye on the ball.

Obama is now irrelevent -- he cannot run for election, and no 2016 politicians are going to want Obama to campaign for them.  By using Executive Orders he has poisoned the well with the Republican Congress, and ruined any chance that his ideas will be voted on or funded in these last 2 years.

The real joke is on people who believe Obama is black. It is an illusion. Ever see a picture of his mother? Or the grandparents that raised him {because his mother couldn't be bothered with him}. Or how about the student body in all of the schools he attended? OBAMA WAS RAISED WHITE. He has never had "the black experience" {unless it was at a bath house}. Where are all of his long time black friends, I'd like to see them. He can't name one. So yes, the joke is on all of us, but especially the dumb Negros that think he is one of them. He is not, never has been, never will be. He plays the part of a black man to fulfill a role.

History has shown over and over again that when a government tries to placate and appease the poor Sheeple masses with continuous hand outs and nonsense jobs it fails miserably. Ancient Rome tried it with free corn rations, the game’s and back breaking labor with its poor free citizens. Rome was destroyed just like America is being destroyed by taking purpose and hope away from people by giving them no future. If Obama had invested 5 of the 7 trillion dollars of new debt in to new industry rather than welfare payments people would not be so economically despondent today.
