President Obama's policies are definitely better for African American people that Mitt Romney's. President Obama is concerned for poor. seniors, disabled, middleclass, minorities, women, etc etc.. In America it is a concern for African American due to racism. Racism must be stopped, but repubs don't think of that. President Obama has a big heart to save these people.
President Obama --- DUH - robMe Could Give a Crap About ANY American that Isn't Disgustingly Wealthy !!!! Let Alone Non-White - And Ya Know - He Doesn't Even Realize That HE Is A Non-White ---- Ha hahahaaaaa !!!! What a GOMER he IS !!!!!
He's non white Name your source please I want to look it up.
That's right, keep them on the govt. plantation so they will continue to let the Dem's buy their votes.
It's the Republicans who want to make everybody work on a plantation for slave wages.
Including you.
Might be nice if Ed asked this question.
Romney openly insulted African Americans in front of the NAACP.
Either he is bat$hit crazy or he is going for the KKK vote in Noremember.
Mitt Romney is called the "Tin Man" because he has brain damage.
Coma indicates damage to the part of the brain responsible for emotions.
Head injuries have been a 4F disqualification for military combat duty since the orders for the My Lai Massacre issued by Lt. Calley were linked to the same kind of head injury.
Brain damage is the reason Romney keeps changing his story and can't show emotions.
I'm leaning toward bat$hit crazy with a side of mayo.
Exactly why the african american community, of which I am a part, will never swing to the republicans.. The condescending semi-racist insults don't tend to draw people to your side. Meanwhile 60% of people on food stamps are white, no one accuses that of having some racialized element.
How long will the right deny its white nationalist sympathies? Statements like this make it quite clear. But most GOP aren't smart to apply any sly deeper narrative to anything you just want to be 1000% against Obama. So do the democrats hate white people or black people make up your race pandering mind.
Of course, Obama's policies are better for the whole country period. He is not a president of the African Americans only. He has shown he represents everyone. His policies benefits everyone.
Including Republicans, unfortunately.
CRACKHEAD AWARDS - You forgot option #3) ALL THE ABOVE. That's the one I would have picked.
Of course I could not help but notice the 'pained smile' that Flip Robme forced upon his face.
He looked as if he was attempting to 'defecate a brick'.
So sorry.
My bad.
I vote #3 also! As for the November vote, cannot believe how any minority, female of any race, etc. could sanely vote for Robme!
Oooohhh.
I seem to have started a trend.
CRACKHEAD AWARDS - You beter slap yourself silly(er) on that one.Or better yet,tell me you you live so I could bring my dog with me and sick her on you ( you will get the LICKING <literally,a nice wet licking at that> that you more than likely deserve).I will forewarn you,she will SHED all over you if you don't watch it.LOL
... about 60 miles west of Los Angeles ...
... where Arnold "dushebag" Swartzeneger nuked the economy back into the stone age by outlawing Mexicans after the Patriot Act made that legal ...
... after making an anchor baby.
OMG. It's like they are all inbred.
You. Can't. Make. This. Stuff. Up. About. Republicans. This. Year.
CRACKHEAD AWARDS - You could actually make it up but when it's the TRUTH,you don't need to.So I take it you're ready to get a "LICKING" from my dog ?
Horace Greeley, a founder of the Liberal Republican Party
It's a prophetic quote to me. If only Greeley, the Liberal Republicans and Radical Republicans could see the shape this Country is in now.
These people fought for Rights before, during and after the Civil War. They fought hard against the racist policies of Lincoln and Johnson to correct the injustices that plagued the people who were enslaved and later "freed".
What we need in this world more and more righteous people, not Democrats or Republicans. We have seen many people like Horace Greely Post 1.17. We need people who would show mutual respect to others with different religions, skin colors, cast, race etc etc. Then we will be able to stop war and unify people of the world and bring an everlasting PEACE in the world.
another duh question. DUH OBAMA'S POLICIES ARE WAY BETTER.
You are right
14.4% unemployment
We can thank the gop in the red states for firing city and state workers for that. Just look at Pennsylvania with fire fighters and the police receiving minimum wages.
It's shameful for you that you aren't upset with the dirt the gop are pulling, hurting innocent people because they have some mental problem.
They don't care about America or Americans, only what's in it for them as they prostitute themselves to corporations.
@just
Yes - the unemployment for African Americans is higher. It always is.
This is not something that President Obama and his policies caused.
The question is whose policies would be better to help not just the African American population but the economy in general.
I think the answer is Obama.
Sorry grandma your wrong...
VOTE NObama 2012!!!!
maphi
The question is whose policies would be better to help not just the African American population but the economy in general.
#2.4 - Wed Jul 11, 2012 7:58 PM EDT
Poll: Whose policies are better for the African-American community?
@just
#2.6 - Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:12 PM EDT
Correct - that is the question.
My answer is Obama.
What was the point of your post?
@Maphi
Don't worry that just guy was wrong last night on his poll numbers that were taken from right wing propaganda websites.
Apparently the gallup poll he was misquoting only polled 13% of the population these people were described as older white and male leading the right wing propaganda media to declare that with only a 13% sample that the poll 'overwhelmingly' favored Flip Robme.
13% hardly constitutes the majority needed in order to win a presidential election.
It sure as hell isn't Romney's or the Republican Party. While you're trying to throw out that 14.4% statistic juststatingitasitis, you fail to mention that it's Republicans who are at fault of that because African Americans make up 26.2% of that 639,000 public sector jobs that Republican governors have be indiscriminately cut from their budgets in this slash and burn policies due to their hate of government workers which happen to include teachers, police officers, fire fighters, social workers and the like that Romney let slip he doesn't give a damn about when he step over his own celebration of Wisconsin.
@juststatingitasitisnot & b113-from-planet-kolob,
Delusional again.
Romney and Ryan openly stated they want to do more of the same things that collapsed the economy under Bush #2.
Section 500-506 of the Patriot Act collapsed the KKKalifornia economy starting with real estate and vehicles. That allows legal residents WITH IMMIGRATION PAPERS to be deported AND to have the vehicles that they purchased confiscated and sold at public auction. California, Arizona and Nevada did that to about 5 million immigrants. No calculus needed to figure out how that works. Abandoned housing and automotive industry collapse.
The worse collapse caused by the Patriot Act occurred in inner city communities most heavily populated by African Americans in California, Arizona and Nevada.
Texas had no recession because those provisions of the Patriot Act were not implemented. Bush is from Texas. Hmmmm ... I wonder how that happened?
California unemployment has come down since Obama and Jerry Brown took office.
Obama and Brown reversed the problems that caused the recession.
Affirmative action in action on those public sector jobs
That's the only thing you got out that post is 'Affirmative action in action on those public sector jobs'? You better be glad that that firefighter who puts out those fires or police officer who arrests those burglars, both public workers who might just happen to be Black doesn't take on such a dismissive attitude when they do so because they don't stop and do a litmus test of if the next life or home they save belongs to a dismissive person with a beef against affirmative action. They just go ahead and risk their lives to save another's, even those of small minded slubs like above who have no appreciation for what they do. But yet we pretend not to know why Romney loses to Obama among Black voters in many polls by a factor of 90, one recent one showing the split at 92% to 1% in the President's favor. Even George W. Bush managed to get 10% of the Black vote, a recent high for a Republican.
Can they read?
I'm not even going to dignify how ignorant you sound at the present moment.
Do a little research enlightened one
How about I do one better and not waste time on your level of ignorance.
Affirmative action in action on those public sector jobs
Public sector jobs in action had an affirmative affect for Reagan, HW and Jr. IOKIYAR
Oooops....don't know why that posted before I was done. Please remember the first line is from our bigoted rightie "guest".
Who's they? My observations, every night, are that inability of the new GOP to read is questionable....and I'm being very to be polite.
Some people need to take their own advice. I'm disappointed, except by our good Conservative friends, that enlightened ones are not to be found in the party imbibing on the Koch spiked tea. Maybe peering in a hat with a seer stone in it would produce that mood altering affect.
Delusions of grandeur, riches and women might be more within reach if members of the right-wing fringe procured a Juniper talisman like the one found on Joseph Smith when he died. Beats being duped and trickled on by voodoo economics.
Wow....Jupiter talisman! Don't want to mislead anyone in the market for one. Hey!!!!
Would Willard say about a white crowd who booed him "If they want free stuff let them vote for the other guy"? Of course he wouldn't. Mission accomplished.
As the Mormon President Hinkley stated many times there's still much racism among the faithful to this day....he died in 2008, I believe. Willard proved it's still alive in his mind today.
Mitt's policies aren't good for absolutely ANYBODY but the very wealthy. But if you are a billionaire African-American, then yes, you will just LOVE his policies!
In the long term, Mitt's policies will kill America. We NEED infastructure now. It is breaking down. Since MITT's main goal is a tax plan that robs from the 98% to give to the 2%, there won't be any money for needed infastructure. No infastructure, electric goes down, roads break apart, bridges collapse and air and water will be poisoned.
Just how many people will like that?
Evidently rich Republicans. Maybe they have a plan to survive when it gets that bad. Why I believe they do! It's called underground bunkers, like the one under the new Denver airport. They are outfitted like luxury resorts, tennis courts, pools, the works. While the rest of us are up here trying to survive, they'll be living it up. I forget where some of the other ones are. Back when Jesse Ventura had his show, they let him go down and film them. They are huge and 3 or 4 stories underground.
ED-- Come on, Mitt has no policies. . How can Nothing be good for anybody, of any race?.-Mitt was just doing what he was told, when he attended the NAACP meeting. This is no race thing, This is an American thing. Mitt just ain't looking out for no one unless they have money, and a lot of it at that.. Every body, not just Blacks, need to know, We are not the reason for Mitt to run for President. He don't care about America, and her needs.. Ann Told Him It Was Their Turn, and By-Gosh, He'll do anything to make sure they get their turn in the White-House. Even if it means going to a place with a room full of Black People.
Rachael~ I loved it when they booed him, I just wish they would have kept it up until he walked, I mean slunk, offstage! LOL
_@--MJB---I know, I wish i would have been there, I would have had a bull horn--shouting it ..
Did you here the response he gave when asked about them booing him?
He said, "Well if they want more free stuff, then they will have to vote for the other Guy". -Romney is the mold for health care reform, so, now he's calling it free stuff..
WHAT A SNOB!
I have a better word for him, but I've decided to be a lady for once! LOL
The only plan Romney has is to help rich people like himself. Oh , he has adopted Ryans bill the one he calls marvellous and Newt described as social engineering. This bill is designed to throw grandma over the edge, kill medicare, medicaid, social security and pell grants . Other plans are to continue to hide his millions overseas in blind trusts
I can tell you from experience of having him as our governor, he is not leadership material, which is fine with the gop, but is it fine with the normal segment of the American people?
Judy W. You hit the nail on the head. They want a puppet that can dance and pass what they want when they want and Romney fills the bill! They would not care if Sponge Bob was President as long as they are in control!
Mitt Romney's political lack
Is because of his paucity of tact...
The reason he quotes
For deserving your votes -
"Well, You have to admit, I'm not Black!"
i like the little rhyme
How could he be. You can see right through him.
Romney has the astounding ability to be opaque and transparent at the same time.
David , I so have missed your limericks. You are right on with this one.
Ditto.
Duh!
The Neonazis of the 4th Reich have got it in for all of us who aren't part of their Corprotocracy movement. Nuff said.
XXX OOO, So true, the vibes i get from the Tea Party is agitators and there preaching of the second amendment and guns has me wondering how far would one nut go ? Romney and his wealthy backers how far would they go to get what they want?
No kidding!! Exactly why Romney spoke in front of the NAACP and bragged how he intends eliminate public programs. He had no intention in gaining black or any other minority votes. He wanted to show his right wing base [mostly white, male, religiously intolerant and of higher economic standing] how he plans to throw everyone else under the bus, and doesn't fear telling them so to their faces.
The thing that bothers me is the racism on both sides, there are poor, unemployed white people in great need of government social programs, who now may be impressed with Romney because in there minds Romney is sticking it to minorities. Like that toothless guy from Mississippi, [Bill Maher, Alexandra Pelosi] when it comes to minorities on social government programs there freeloading, when it came to his, that's different.
Are we not all Americans and in this together? OK stupid question.
Viewer, He cares only about his wealthy donors and will use anyone to get what he wants. His past behavior with Bain is his future behavior. I tell you at this point the man has thrown many in this nation under his bus. Hes arrogant and rude!
The South will rise again!!!
The policies of the Obama Administration and progressive Democrats. Hands down.
Yep those policies are kicking ass here in California
NOT
@Big Al-369306,
Section 500-506 of the Patriot Act collapsed the KKKalifornia economy starting with real estate and vehicles. The worse collapse caused by the Patriot Act occurred in inner city communities most heavily populated by African Americans in California, Arizona and Nevada.

C.A. Not funny but true...
I use to laugh at George Calin but then I stopped laughing too after I started listening.
Ditto.
Carlin was baptized Catholic AND atheist because he was smarter than the nuns that taught him.
Laughing beats crying everytime. The message is still clear.
In spite of the grief, I love to go to funerals where humor about the person's life is shared with others who loved them. Remembering the good and cherished times is important as what I want to cleave to the fondness and love once shared.
George Carlin was a bell weather....a man before his time. Thank you, man!! You were real !!!! I love you!!
Big AL I live in California and we don't vote republicans out here and we beat the big corporate money in 2010
Were getting are asses kicked out here in Cali steve we need to vote the incumbents out.
16 billion in the hole and Governor actually thinks we are all going to vote to raise our taxes lololol what a @!$%# he is.
It most definitely President Obama. willard sees Black Americans and other minorities as inferior to the rich white American males.
The royalty in old Europe felt that way and look how disease ridden they were with hemophilia and other genetic diseases that ran through their family.
Yup. That about sums it up.
Obama's policies are good for everyone, but the African American community will benefit more simply because they have a greater need.
Rob, I so agree. Millions are being helped right now. Its like our priorities are out of whack. We spend billions in nation building and until now do no nation building here. Health care for the American People is a big deal!
Well said, Rob!
Ditto.
Education is the American dream.
Obama gets it. Romney wants to kill it.
The best thing anyone can do if they are unemployed or poor is search the Department of Labor Statistics web site to look for something with higher income and lower unemployment.
The next thing to do is use Obama's improvement of the student grand and college loan program to train into that new profession.
Makes no difference what race you are.
President Obama of course, Mitt Romney has no meaningful policy plan that benefits all americans. A country that is so diverse, Mitt Romney so called policy plans will only benfit a small miniorty of people in the country and we all know who they are.
As do seniors, the disabled and people who lost their jobs to China and other third world countries.
Of course, it's the President's policies. The only time the GOP pretends to care about African-Americans or for that matter, anyone in the middle class is at election time.
AGENTLROSE - Unfortunately,that's true of both sides if you really look at it.That's why I don't care for either republicans or democrats.
@Ted-2954604,
I tend to agree.
The issue for me is to figure out who is less delusional.
This republican is voting for Barack.
Republicans scare the f#$I^g s*%t out of me this year.
CRACKHEAD AWARDS - I claim the title of INDEPENDENT.I vote for the person not the party.
I think this poll question is black and white.
Nicely done.
Ditto.
No grey matter required for this one.
The new GOP could use a little though.......no, a lot to get it
rightcorrect!Indeed so Kathe! Its the green that matters to them!
Wrong Way Willard Is playing the part of Moses for the 1%! And is asserting Obama as Pharaoh! Let my corporations go!
I am impressed that Robot Romney actually told the truth about something. The economy has been harder on black people. Not exact words.
Romney's policies won't make life any better and most likely make it worse for most black and brown people. Romney won't even invest his OWN money in this country to make it better. Does everything he can to avoid paying taxes which, may or may not be legal. Either way, Romney is an amoral dirtbag.
Hey, let's be fair. He'll make things worse for white people, too.
XENA - You forgot to mention that he doesn't care for anyone who makes LESS than him is the ones he really doesn't care for and race has nothing to do with it.
I am sorry about that. You are right. I was focused on black people though.
WWW wants equality for all the 99%! 1% get 99% of the wealth and the 99% get 1% of it.
xxx you're on fire!
Thanks, I hope they don't call the fire dept.!
Romney's budget cuts proposals would not help anyone but rich people. Everyone else will get screwed.
President Obama has a real plan for all Americans, and it is simply "Fairness." for all. Americans United Campaign Obama / Biden 2012.
Even Michael Steel is going to vote for Barack.
What kind of message does it send for the RNC to fire an African American and install a white supremacist?
President Obama's policies are of course. Mittens policies will only benefit the haves and the continue to haves.
That's really hard saying who is really better.But out of the two,I would have to say OBAMA is more than likely better than ROMNEY any day of the decade.
Ted you know it. The two are as different as can be. Romney would eat gold fish if it would get him votes LOL!
PAM - He can go right ahead and eat as much GOLD FISH as he wants.I'll just stick with eating TROUT,CATFISH,SALMON,COD,HALIBUT,and SHELLFISH.He better have an IRON STOMACH if he's going to eat GOLD fish.
When the NAACP booed Romney it was because he said 'we have to stop spending a trillion dollars MORE than we take in'...he will cut the programs that ACTUALLY help people, and cut the taxes of the very rich who he affectionately calls the 'job creators'...You can't expect to get applause when you make no reference to the bills we continue to pay for the FIRST eight years, no reference to the fact that you will CUT the programs that help and not raise taxes and while you're at it disenfranchise the very people you are talking to.
Good point Mego,
Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler, and Mussolini are the first people to use lies to collapse economies.
Lie #1.
Easy to see that is false because a ton of gold in a bank vault creates exactly 0 jobs.
Lie #2.
Consumer demand creates jobs, and that includes 'inferior humans'.
Each and every human being living in a country creates consumer demand by purchasing things, and the best consumers that create the most jobs are new immigrants that work hard to make their money and demand the most from what they earn.
Immigrants improve their income by seeking education, and the US is by far the best country for education in the western hemisphere.
