Racism comes in all shapes and sizes (and colors). Great going Mr. O. Look what you've done. Taken us back to the 1960s, with no words that it was the wrong thing to say. But then again the democrats are spoiled little children.

matched the share Bill Clinton received in 1992 and exceeded that of Walter Mondale in 1984, Jimmy Carter in 1980 and George McGovern in 1972. When the white vote percentages from 1972 through 2012 are averaged, we find the president's 2012 share to fall dead center on the average figure. It's worth noting that the only democratic candidate that exceeded President Obama's 2008 white vote share of 43% (which Clinton matched in 1996) was Jimmy Carter's 47% in 1976. It's remarkable President Obama managed to pull 39%-40% of that voting block in 2012, given the unrelenting efforts on the right, whose efforts to divide the electorate were absolutely transparent) to paint him as the unAmerican, foreign "other" candidate.
Keep in mind the next time you want to post another wildly uninformed bogus winger claim about racial "division," both CONTEXT and supporting statistical data will always be patiently waiting in the wings, eager to make its next curtain call whenever called upon to do so.

Ignorance is alive and well, no matter what color your state is. We all know it.
Obama didn't create the division in this country, our country created it long ago, and it never went away.
