Slavery

President Obama is not a black man in the way most people think of it. His wife Michelle is directly descended from people who suffered from slavery. Barack Obama was basically raised by a single white mother and his white grandparents in Hawaii. The terrible history of slavery, and the recovery from it left a deep impact on most African Americans. Barack doesn't have any of this in his background.

Maybe that is why Mr. Obama's actions are so different than his oratory. In real life his actual behavior seems just like what one would expect from a white, center-right Republican. Just like the liberals, progressives, and environmentalists; the congressional black caucus considers Obama to be a really big embarrassment. What a letdown he has turned out to be.

The Democrats need to get prepared for a terrible loss of seats. They have gone back on so many of their campaign promises that the well educated voter who actually turns out at the polls is demoralized and is just going to sit out the next one.
