| In 2008, minority voters turned out in record numbers, propelling Barack Obama to the White House. Similar results fueled his second-term victory on Tuesday. A 2-percentage-point increase in nonwhite votes—to 28 percent—sealed Obama's reelection, and data seem to indicate minority influence at the polls has grown stronger in the past four years. Obama managed to win again, despite securing only 39 percent of white voters--who still represent the nation's largest voting bloc at 72 percent. Poll after poll indicated the issue atop all voters mind this election season was the still-weak economy, a color-blind issue affecting nearly everyone.

Black churches / pastors recruited black voters, who were driven to the polling places in church vans, especially in states with early voting.

Not a natural divide but a trench dug by leftists as well as anyone else who has helped them virtually eliminate the Southern border.

"However, analysis of voter data shows that the racial divide that dominated much of the race in 2008 is getting wider. Obama failed to capture the majority of the white vote in many of the nation's states--even the ones that traditionally bleed blue--and endured a 4-point drop among white votes over 2008."
Nonwhite voters choose the nonwhite candidate? No comment. White voters reject a half-white candidate who also happens to be the most radical leftist ever offered by the Democrat party? Must be closet racism.

12 gauge for home defense, 9mm or .40 handgun for self-defense. Buy extra magazines for the handgun. If it gets bad and you must relocate, ditch the shotgun and take the handgun with all magazines.
Learn how to shoot, learn how to maintain your weapon, learn how to take it apart and reassemble it without thinking.

Let's see. Is there another "Obama" waiting in the wings to run for the Dems in 2016? Will Hillary be able to draw the large number of black and hispanic voters that Obama got in two straight elections? Not likely.
I believe that identity politics helped Obama significantly in these segments. Dem blacks and hispanics did judge and evaluate him on the color of his skin, and turned out accordingly.
Good luck keeping that as your strategy in 2016.

It doesn't help when "rape-experts" like Mourdock (Indiana) and Akin (Missouri)sully the ticket.
Add in the Ditz-twins Angle and O'Donnell from last time -- and you've got a pretty good Senate majority that doesn't exist.
A bit of good advice --
Stay out of people's private affairs -- and win on fighting against "redistribution".

Socialism is a black thing, and Obama is a black socialist. Thus the incredible support for the Prophet Obama despite the lasting damage he is doing, especially to blacks.
In 1960, just months after creating his communist Eden in Cuba, Fidel Castro addresed the members of a black congregation in Harlem. Fidel was warmly embraced as a socialist revolutionary by the church goers. In the early 90's, Nicaguara's leftist dictator, Ortega, received the same adulatory welcome from the same black church. Rev. Wright's Black Liberation Theology is socialism wrapped in racism. Tuesday was more of the same.

Let's see. We have a "mulato" in the White House. The Congressional Black Caucus as "overseers" for the progressive/socialists to keep the blacks on the plantation, and a Congressional Hispanic Caucus that is focused on doing to those of Hispanic heritage the same as has been done to the blacks. The only way the GOP will EVER change that equation is by "buying" those ethnic groups for a higher price that the progressive/socialists. Ain't gonna' happen. Get over it! We lost our country to "black slaves" and "baby factory" Hispanics. If you think that view is racists or bigoted, give it a rest. It is pure FACT!!!

I work at a school. This morning 3 black employees SANG the following in the office: Let the church say Amen, God has spoken. I literally was sitting there in shock. Yes, I think God has spoken, too, but not with an endorsement for BHO. How can they sing about the church saying amen when a man that supports killing babies inside and outside the womb has been re-elected. I use this example to say I believe most voted on skin color and redistribution promises.
I know many of you will say I, as a pro-lifer, am the problem. Let me clarify, I am pro-life and I try to vote for people that reflect my values BUT pro-life vs abortion, gay vs straight, etc. will not matter when we have lost our liberty!!! My vote was cast to try to save our republic but there are more out there that hate my country than love it.

Ah yes, the minority vote AKA the taker vote. By 2016, the taker vote will comprise 60% of the electorate. Barry and the demonrats will see to it otherwise they'd never be elected again.

President Obama’s 2014 budget calls for a trillion dollars in new taxes, almost twice as much as previously thought, The Washington Examiner has learned. “Of the more than $1 trillion in new taxes, about $800 billion is raised through the individual income tax system, about $125 billion comes from new excise taxes — including new taxes on tobacco and financial companies,” a source familiar with the president’s budget explained. “The remainder comes from reverting back to the 2009 estate tax parameters and other miscellaneous tax increases.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., described the budget as a

The most ominous trend in America´s employment data is not the number of people who have left the labor force, but the number who are now working either for the government or in the as-yet-still-private sector of the health care industry. Health care has boomed under Obama, according to data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. When Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, there were 13,436,700 jobs in the private health care industry; by this March, there were 14,516,600. Over the past four years, America has created 1,079,900 new jobs in the private-sector health care industry.

Just over a week after sequestration took effect, the State Department allotted more than $700,000 for gardening at a U.S. Ambassador’s residence in Brussels, Belgium. On March 11, State awarded a contract to provide gardening services at an “official residence” of the U.S. Mission in Belgium. A State Department spokesperson confirmed to CNSNews.com that the contract is for Truman Hall, a historic property that serves at the residence of the Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The current U.S. ambassador to NATO is Ivo H. Daalder, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in May 2009.

With the passing of Margaret Thatcher, we’ve lost not only one of conservatism’s heroes. We’ve lost one of the greatest figures of modern times, a woman who battled incredible odds to become prime minister, and then turned her country around after decades of decline. I had the honor of working for Lady Thatcher in her private office from 2000 to 2002. Like anyone who has had that privilege, I had the opportunity to observe firsthand how fully she dedicated her life to serving her country. She was a true leader in every sense of the word, and

Anti-Muslim views have often been promoted by Republican law-makers and GOP political operatives. In a recent survey by the Arab American Institute, Republican views toward Arab and Muslim-Americans were viewed with the greatest negativity by an overwhelming majority of those surveyed. In return, Muslims expressed unfavorable views towards evangelicals, neo-conservatives and the Republican Party. Sadly, only a small percentage of Muslims polled had favorable opinions of Republicans following the Bush Presidency. As expected, Democrats were viewed more positively by the Muslim community than Republicans, which highlights some significant parallels between the GOP’s questionable approach

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight.

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
