“The symbolic resonance of Obama's
victory for black Americans has not diminished… According to Gallup 90% of
African Americans intend to back him and they plan to turn out at the same rate
as white voters. No other block of voters is more loyal… African Americans, as
a group, are far worse off now than they were when Obama came to power and the
gap between whites and blacks in terms of wealth and income has increased under
Obama's tenure… black unemployment is up 11%. Meanwhile the wealth gap has
doubled during this recession with the average white American now having 22
times more wealth than their black counterparts.”

The vast majority of America is worse off than they were 30 years ago with 18 years of Republican and 12 years of Democratic presidencies. By this logic, we should be voting third party.
