with the aid of fact they by no ability took the time to do the maths. Btw, there are approximately 13% entire of all African-people in this usa. That huge form incorporates toddlers, little ones, and others who're no longer the right age to vote. So African-people on my own did no longer placed President Obama into place of work.

Obama is half black. His momma is white and he is just as much a part of his mother then his father. Obama is the first son of an immigrant to become president. His father is African and from Africa. He has no cultural connection to American blacks apart from his DNA.

Barack Obama didn't have to say anything, as it was already prevalent that the minorities 'Blacks' would vote for their 'brotha'.

Well you have to remember that that 13% is a very huge important chunk.
