That's like Obama saying that 47% of the country will never vote for him because they're racist. Maybe that's what some passionate democrat thinks, but it's not accurate and it shouldn't ever be brought up by the candidate himself.

Just like the "guns and bibles" quote....Obama and many Democrats really believe that and no one should ever say it....especially the candidate himself.

This is plainly evidenced if you watched any part of the DNC. It was a list of the great things Obama and the democrats would give the people if only the mean republicans didn't get in their way. I was sickened by a couple of the most pandering speeches.
Do you guys believe 99 weeks of Federal unemployment is good and necessary?
Do you guys believe adding more people to food stamps and disability last month than found work is a good thing? A noble thing?
