Blacks still backing Obama because...


Chris Woodward - OneNewsNow - 10/5/2010 4:20:00 AMNew polls show President Obama is losing support among almost every group but one, but a conservative radio host thinks that demographic's backing may have nothing to do with politics.

A new Fox News survey finds that 39 percent of Americans admit they would vote to re-elect President Obama in 2012. But an unrelated Gallup poll shows 91 percent of black voters still favor President Obama, while support from white and Hispanic voters has dropped.

"It's a fascinating question, and it's one where I think because God chose to paint our skin a different color, we'll never know exactly what that experience is like," notes Janet Parshall, Christian conservative radio personality. "But I think that at some level, it has to be 'I want him to succeed because he was the first African-American president we had. So I will stay with him until the last possible minute.'"

But Parshall tells American Family Radio's Today's Issues program that that thinking goes against the aspirations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who dreamed of a day when people would be judged by their character rather than their skin color.
