Obama, Romney, the 2012 Presidential Election and Diversity

Within the party, leadership admits Republican disapproval directed towards President Obama is tied heavily to ongoing racist values.  Via the Huffington Post:


Such trends noted above by Lawrence Wilkerson help to explain that which has been made clear by the Washington Post -- the upcoming presidential election looks to be one very much divided along racial lines. As noted in the article, comparing trends from 2008, "Romney appears to have made no inroads in chipping away at Obama's support among Hispanics and African Americans" and further, that "Fully 91 percent of Romney’s support comes from white voters." Oddly enough, the Romney preference among white voters is tied heavily to perceptions that Romney would do more to help the American economy:

There is no way to tell from these findings what role, if any, racial prejudice may play on either side of the racial gap. But the data suggest that concern about the economy is amplifying the division, as Obama’s decline in support among white voters appears to be closely linked to views of his handling of the economy. And yet minorities have suffered severe unemployment and housing foreclosures in the current economy as well.

Romney's economic policies, however, are most clearly illustrated in action. Production for Romney paraphernalia is not happening in the United States. Rather, it is happening abroad. How exactly does that promote American jobs and the broader economy? It doesn't. See picture, below:


And if considering global perceptions, the BBC polled a sample of 21,797 people from 21 countries to get a gauge on the world's preference between Obama and Romney. Only Pakistan showed a preference for Romney, and a narrow one at that. Those polled from every other country expressed a strong preference for Obama, exhibiting the more positive global reputation Obama has achieved over the past four years. See the graphic, below:


We don't live in isolation, and the United States is not an ethnically homogeneous country.  Romney is NOT the answer.

  3. Women who are over weight and want to lose weight as quickly as possible without enduring the risks associated with invasive surgeries should consider hCG weight loss as an alternative. The injections are done with a fine needle and cause virtually no pain, and the results can achieve with hCG weight loss are significant and dramatic. Most women report losses of at least up to one pound per day without feeling tired or hungry, and as the weight loss continues, it becomes easier and easier to stretch more, eat less, and make significant changes to your lifestyle that promote continued health.
