ken..this should interest you. Obama buyer's remorse … among blacks September 12, 2009 Star Parker wnd.com Americans of all political persuasions agree that the nation has problems. Big problems. And here's where we all part company. The political left, who now control our government, thinks we need more government – a lot more. Those on the right see our problems as the result of excess government and want to move things in the opposite direction. The fact that Democrats, with their man in the White House and control of both houses of Congress, are having difficulty getting their big-government programs passed says something about the strength of the grass roots push back now taking place. Stirring is even occurring among blacks. According to the Pew Research Center, the president's approval rating nationwide is now 10 points lower than last April. Included in this is a 3 point drop in his approval among blacks. You might say, Star, a drop in approval ratings among blacks from 95 to 92 percent is trivial. But I say not so. If we assume this reflects the 16 million blacks who voted for Obama last November, a 3-point shift means there are about a half million blacks who now have buyer's remorse. Discover the depths of deception in today's civil rights movement with "Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America" This is meaningful. You take real risks going against the establishment in black America – psychological risks, professional risks and sometimes risks to personal safety. Peeling off a black who voted for Obama means moving heaven and earth. Even a star like Bill Cosby incurred the wrath of the black establishment when he started talking about black families and personal responsibility. As result, he backed off and toned down his message. Recall during the campaign, candidate Obama ruffled Jesse Jackson's feathers when he spoke about personal responsibility among black males. An inadvertently "on" microphone picked up Jackson saying that he wanted to castrate Obama (not exactly in that language). The black conservative is not that rare freak of nature that so many think. According to a Pew Research Center report, almost a third of blacks consider themselves conservative. However, these folks have always been inclined to be quiet because of the social pressures and intimidation. But this is changing. Despite slurs, intimidation and widely reported physical attacks from union thugs, a few brave black souls have showed up at tea party protest rallies. I'm getting more and more calls from black conservatives around the country running for local office. I see black conservative websites popping up, and there are even black rappers rapping a conservative message. Who, after all, could know more about the lie about government and the pretense of political answers to life's problems than blacks? It's black families that have been devastated by welfare-state programs and black kids now trapped in hopeless public schools. And it's overwhelmingly black unborn children that never see the light of day. How can blacks who have their eyes open not have noticed that it was Mr. Obama who killed the DC school voucher program and sent black children back to one of the worst public school systems in the country? The Cato Institute reports that, after adjusting for inflation, funds spent on public schools have doubled since 1970, with no improvement in education performance and a decrease in graduation rates. This is government at work. The Israelites wandered for 40 years after they left Egypt, giving time for the slave generation to disappear and for a new generation to bear the responsibilities of freedom. Next year marks 40 years since the decade of the '60s, which gave us the civil rights movement. I see a new generation of freedom-loving, churchgoing black Americans coming on the scene. Many voted for Obama out of racial pride. But their values and aspirations for freedom are causing a change of heart.

Oh bummer! So why are the leftist so worried about the birthers if they are destroying the republican party. Wouldn't you and the other leftist want to see the republican party destroyed? Remember the American people are stupid as stated by leftist Bill Maher. So truth may not matter if they are shown how much money bamah is spending to keep all his records sealed. They just reenforce that bamah is covering up something even if it isn't his place of birth. The unknown can be shaped so everyone can then believe bamah is hiding whatever that person fears the most. Never mind an illegal alien getting health care what about an illegal islamic alien being president? Never unsealing the records keeps the stories going and growing, growing and going. According to Bill Maher 36% of Americans believe the sun revolves around the earth. So why is bamah keeping all his records sealed? The so called transparency president with the most transparent presidency ever. Just saying your running a transparent presidency doesn't make it so. Remember "You lie!" is now becoming fact. comrade chartseer

Doesn't matter. Obama's not going to win a second term. Whether he shows the real birth certificate or not. If he doesn't show it, the cry will be so loud to show it that he's going to look like he's hiding something. You think swiftboating was bad for Kerry, you wait till the RNC get ahold of this one. If he does show the real certificate and he's not a citizen, the guys instant toast. If he does show it and he is a naturized citizen enough people are going to be incensed that he's such a low level political gamer and clown. It bursts his transparency promise bubble. His hope and change blurb is meaningless. Then what is he and the telepromter going to say?
