Obama actually won higher percentages of the white vote in his elections than some historic (white) presidents ever won in theirs!  (Including GWII!)  You see "vicious racism"; I see the "same ol', same ol' ".  Mr. Obama didn't get half of the white vote because historically, Democratic candidates never do anyway.  :-/  The half of the white voters who didn't go for Mr. Obama could have and would have done so for any variety of reasons, such as dislike for his specific policies and general philosophy of government.  And of course, many of those potential white voters just stayed home and (out of laziness or carelessness or personal emergency),  never cast a ballot for anybody.

Finally, the WaPo article points out that Mr. Obama wouldn't have won election without his white vote.  Plumb ironic, eh??  :D

Thanks for your words.
