US President Barack Obama's support among white voters has plummeted, imperilling his ambitious political agenda.
His support among white voters fell to below 50 per cent for the first time in his presidency following his accusation the police "acted stupidly" in arresting a black Harvard professor,
A Pew research poll found that 53 per cent of white voters approved of Mr Obama's job performance before his prime-time intervention in the furore over whether Sergeant Joseph Crowley, a white officer, was right to arrest Henry Louis Gates Jr, a black studies professor.
This dropped to 46 per cent in just two days as many white supporters reacted with dismay to Mr Obama's statement, which he tried to rectify by arranging a "beer summit" at the White House in which he and Vice President Joe Biden sipped their chosen brews in the Rose Garden under the gaze of the media. www.telegraph.co.uk...

When will they just throw everybody into the pot and say X amount of Americans approve or disproves. Why play the white/black card.

How quickly people forget that . . .
Amazing stuff. This fall in popularity is really about Obama's ill judged comment over the Crowley and Gates incident.
You will find that the banking crisis kicked off on Dubya's watch and the trillions being issued in Obama's presidency is an attempt to prevent the US economy from completely collapsing. That is where most of your taxes are going.

HE IS HALF WHITE!
Pulling the race card in any Obama discussion is a straw man.
