Blacks are the Great Abused Constituency of America. They are cringingly loyal to a party whose philosophies and policies have helped destroy the black family and kept thousands of blacks in poverty. They vote in higher percentages for a single party than any other demographic of any reasonable size, save that of party affiliation. Punching the card of some elitist liberal--though he happens to also be black--doesn't change all that.
And if blacks really are voting in droves for Obama (and the Dems) on that basis alone, then that's just good ol' fashioned race-based politics. Not something to be proud of, either.

On this note, a few years later: Maxine Waters is now apparently tired of being taken for granted. Speaking to a Detroit audience she hilariously says:
Quote:

"We don't put pressure on the president," Waters told the audience at Wayne County Community College. "Let me tell you why. We don't put pressure on the president because ya'll love the president. You love the president. You're very proud to have a black man -- first time in the history of the United States of America. If we go after the president too hard, you're going after us."

... and further ...
Quote:

"We don't know what the strategy is. We don't know why on this trip that he's in the United States now, he's not in any black community. We don't know that."

You reap what you sow, Maxine.
