Quit yapping like a blustering fool and pretending to speak with authority on black electoral intent when it is the hapless wishes of some republican shill hoping that their schemes can suppress the black vote.
Given that Obama is catering to every part of his base, but the African American segment (he runs like a deer fleeing a bear when ever that topic comes up), this is indeed a quietly discussed problem.
Oh yes he will get virtually all of those who do show up. But then many will not and almost certainly not the numbers who did in 2008 when the increased black vote was instrumental in his victories in several swing states. Then they showed up for the First Black President, hoping that finally they had some one who would listen to them in the halls of power.
Alas many feel that he hasnt. This reminds of David Dinkins who lost when the black support he got when he initially won, diminished significantly when he ran for re-election.
The Democratic party thinks that they own the black vote. They dont.
The democratic party has not and does not take black vote or Hispanic vote lightly. That is why their convention is rainbow and the Republicans pristine white.
Obama has indeed not drifted to the traditional role of a black individual in embracing the formal black political institutions and leaders. He has for reasons of his own and one can sensibly deduce that he is the President and not simply a black president.
We have had this conversation previously and as noted then it is almost impossible to live in a race neutral world in America but that is his burden. He cannot be seen to be overly pandering to black needs hence he has not had formal alone meetings with the black congressional caucus and for example never visited the black congressional retreat in Tunica to listen to their sessions as a senator or as president.
