WASHINGTON - JULY 21: U.S. President Barack Obama signs the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act before (L-R) Vice President Joe Biden, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) at the Ronald Reagan Building July 21, 2010 in Washington, DC. The bill is the strongest financial reform legislation since the Great Depression and also creates a consumer protection bureau that oversees banks on mortgage lending and credit card practices.

The latest numbers for President Obama’s approval rating are out. They are as follows:

APPROVE 47%
DISAPPROVE 53%

The ethnic breakdown of those who approve of Mr. Obama are as follows:

BLACKS 93%
HISPANICS 57%
WHITES 37%

These numbers may surprise the White House on a number of levels. His approval among African-Americans is high, which was expected. But his numbers are higher than expected among the fast growing Hispanic population. However, many political pundits believe Mr. Obama will need to elevate his approval numbers among white voters in order to be reelected.

I do believe these numbers are about right as per the racial-ethnic breakdown. And Yes, Obama will have to improve his numbers among Whites, specifically among White “independents” and women who helped give him the Presidency. He’s still got time. But he needs to “get busy” NOW if he wants to be re-elected.Blacks Support: Many, if not most Blacks, see Obama’s Presidency as a “divine” mission. They firmly believe: Had it not been for “The Lord” on his side, he would not be President today! Therefore, even though they may disagree with him at times, or are disappointed with him about something _most Blacks will continue to support him. Blacks will discuss issues among Ourselves but “WE” are Masters at keeping “Our “ business “in… Read more »

And in a related story….Politico – Thur, Jul 29, 2010: Lindsey Graham Says Illegals Come Here to "Drop a Child'[..] If you thought the recent right wing push to repeal part of the US Constitution’s 14th amendment and take away automatic birthright citizenship was just a wacky idea from the Rand Paul fringe, think again. Lindsey Graham eyes ‘birthright citizenship’.And in his statement on Fox News (where else?), Graham resorted to some of the crudest dehumanizing language I’ve seen from any politician.Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced Wednesday night that he is considering introducing a constitutional amendment that would change existing law to no longer grant citizenship to the children of immigrants born in the United States:“People come here to have babies,” he said. "They come here to drop a child. It’s called “drop and leave.” To have a child in America, they cross the border, they go to the emergency… Read more »
