Вчера была на демонстрации поддержки Израиля возле израильского консулата в НЙ... Обаму поливали ВСЕ!!! В лучшем стиле Раба Кохане выступило несколько рабаев. Я такого сплочения среди демократического еврейского населения даже не представляла. Приезжали даже какие-то католики из Техаса, Вирджинии и откуда-то еще, какой-то черный пастор из Гарлема... В общем, с идеей разделения Иерусалима Обама тоже обоср...ся, как, впрочем, и со всем остальным.

he correctly stated those who elected him, nigroes, latinos and unemployed..
those are the once he needs to vote, if whites stay home dems are assured to win every time.

Ольга,
Как говорится, "the proof is in the pudding". Посмотрим, сколько из этих евреев-демократов в четвёртом колене проголосуют против демократов в ноябре. Talk is cheap. За Обаму проголосовало 78% евреев. На свою (и на нашу) голову.
Теперь они вспомнили, что нужно заступиться за Израиль. А где они были раньше???

don't feel like watching the clip again, but I don't recall him mentioning the unemployed. in fact, 52% of those whose household income was $200k or more, voted for Obama.

there is only 2% of the population with 200k+ income..
he does not need to speak to them..

it's much easier to speak to the "masses"..

well, they were 6% of the voters (as were those whose income was under $15k). he also received 60% of the $15k-$30k vote, 55% of the $30k-$50k, 48% of the $50k-$75k (McCain got 49%), 51% of the $75k-$100k, and 48% of the $100k-$150k and $150k-$200k vote.

exactly, it's pretty even across most major economic groups..
where Obama really has an advantage is blacks, hispanics, unemployed.
those are the people he needs to get to vote in 2010 elections..

I'm assuming the $15k and under are the unemployed, and they were only 6% of the voters.

and he won them with 3:1 margin... which mean he got 4.5 vs 1.5 for McCain..
a swing of 3% the other way and it's a tie..
2010 elections will be MUCH tighter then presidential elections anyway... so he has to speak to his "base".

well, the $15-$30k were 12% of the voters, and he received 60% of that vote... not sure if they should be considred unemployed, underemployed, or working poor.
