For the past decade the Democrats have managed to defy gravity by bolting together an unlikely coalition of the richest and poorest Americans. It’s no secret. Ever since President Bush’s re-election in 2004, the pattern has been clear. People making above $100,000 and below $40,000 vote Democratic. The people in the middle vote Republican.
But now that top-bottom coalition is about to come apart, or lose its majority status at least. And the issue will be one that may loom larger than the debacle of Obamacare — the Keystone Pipeline.
Forget all that business about Barack Obama being the first African-American President, the child of poverty and discrimination who fought his way to the top through sheer brilliance and doggedness. Sure African-Americans vote 90 percent for him and form an indispensable part of his coalition. But Obama hasn’t done a thing for them since taking office except increase unemployment.
POLL: Should the Keystone Pipeline be built?
No, the real Obama is the one who came out of Harvard and Chicago Law Schools, picking up everything he knows in the faculty lounge. That’s where he met the people who taught him that middle Americans are frustrated yahoos “clinging to their guns and religion,” the ones who set him on the lunatic path of believing that what the weather is going to be like in 50 years is the most important issue facing America.
Obama’s critical support comes from the upper crust of America, the citizens who live comfortably sheltered in academia and the non-profit sector, who don’t care much about electricity or the manufacturing economy but who honestly believe that we can shut down the whole middle portion of the country and turn off the lights in order to save the world from the “pollution” of carbon dioxide.

It does not matter that Obama has not done one thing for the black community except to make sure the Drug Cartel can get their drugs to the inner city! Many vote because of race. But we all know the Liberal media will not tell that fact, instead we know that if anyone tells facts about Obama they are racist for doing so! When will we do something about the Marxist supporting evil Liberal lying media?
obama is not African American. He is african, an illegal alien muslim terrorist.
No to mention he was mentored buy some of the Top commie ,socialiest in the Country.
Another day, another scandal from the Obama administration. But you must forgive them, they have such "good intentions"! Horrible results, but such "good intentions". What else matters.
