hat is a totally bogus response and you should be ashamed of yourself for posting it. Obama was elected in his first term in a great deal of cross-over voters. I personally know of many Republicans and Conservatives who voted for Obama. He also picked up many centrists. The people who voted for him crossed all lines, including rich white people.

You need to look at the stats. It wasn't white people who got Obama elected. Blacks and Latinos turned out in record numbers. Their numbers combined with what white women and a few white males voted him pushed him over the top. The majority of whites voted for the white candidate.

As for white privilege, entitlement and racism.........they are alive and well. Here are just four of the many examples that have come up since Obama was elected:
