Biden Biding His Time at the NAACP Convention

Romney made quite a splash at the NAACP convention on July 12. He offered a powerful program advocating for education reform and expansion of free enterprise, which can create jobs, while government only manages and transfers wealth, often losing more than collected and dispensed.

President Obama did not bother to attend the 103rd annual convention, presumably because he has not interested in the shoring up the black vote, as they have voted 95% of the time for the Democratic candidate, no matter how harmful or short-sighted the prospective candidate's policies would  turn out to be.

Joseph Biden, remaining on the ticket for reelection, arrived instead of the embattled incumbent, a politician whose poll numbers as the unemployment numbers keep growing, and growing above the major number of 8%, the highest rate which Obama had promised for job unemployment.

The president has failed to stimulate the economy with free-market reforms, yet he feels justified in sending one of the most free-speaking -- and free of thinking -- members of his executive team to "rally the troops". When he started speaking, the seats remained for the most part empty, much like Obama's muted rallies in Ohio, where econonimc short-falls have not fallen out of the memory of voters who were expecting hope with their change.

I would not be surprised if only 85% of blacks vote for President Obama this election. With higher unemployment, almost twice the national average, followed by 50% unemployment for minority youth, with stagnating job growth and no real education reform beyond Race to the Top, which has still left many students struggling at the bottom, and then of course Obama's sudden endorse of gay marriage -- I would not be one but surprised to see a minor political realignment take place in Washington and throughout the country, as black voters flee the party of "Solid South" white supremacy turned affirmation-action, which is neither affirmative or active, to the party of limited government, individual liberty, and free enterprise.

Artur Davis, former Congressman from Alabama, has changed residences and party affiliations, now openly touting the GOP ticket. Mia Love of Utah is slated to become the first black, female Republican in the history of the House of Representatives.

President Obama, the first black president, ironically enough may be the chief executive who displaces a significant number of black voters to the Republican party!
