As from a script prepared for the movie you watch, national media manipulates regional voting blocks through their tools of division. With candidates mere actors defined by adopted platforms in their respective parties, media controls the conversation, and as needed introduce those divisional motivations that when supported by fake election results, the ruse of democracy is accomplished. Whether it be Christians vs atheist, blacks vs whites, it's no accident the movie is now showing on your TV.
An overwhelming majority of voters only consider one thing when choosing candidates - the letter after their name. D's vote for D's and the R's vote for the R's. It's like a modern day Dr. Seuss story.
Samuel L Jackson is just trying to keep racism alive. President Obama won Iowa in '08 and Iowa has 99% white voters. These are facts what he was giving is opinion. Race nor gender is an issue to the majority of voters today in my opinion.
As for me, no. I didn't like his Clintonomics and federalist stance when the last eight Dem candidates ran on it. But I've met a few who decided the Clintonomics they praised under Clinton are suddenly "too liberal". Some GOP's didn't like his "Muslim" background. On the flip side, there are several local people who never voted before even for the Dem candidate who registered and voted for Obama which implies motivation simply by race.
Absolutely not! Character, communication, diplomacy, educational background, ethics, family values, goals as leader of the US and trustworthiness are what are important...race is not an issue...that our president is Black does not enter into my desire to see him re-elected for another four years. And, with the possibility of taking back Congress, he will prove, even more during his second term, that he is, indeed, the right man for the job. OBAMA 11/6/2012.
