THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN –“Blacks” have proven to be more loyal than “Whites”, as they voted 95% for an African American president. White people who voted for Hillary were asked as they left the polls; “Did you not vote for Obama because he was Black? An interesting question in light of the fact that they did not ask the alternate question to Blacks who voted for Obama; “Did you not vote for Hillary because she was white?” Somehow the implication is that white people who split their vote between Obama and Hillary might be more inclined to being biased or prejudiced than Black people who voted as a solid block for a Black man.
If Obama did become president, would there be a coming together of the races or would there be more divisiveness. Obama, whose father was African and his mother white considers himself “black”. Obama believes in “Affirmative Action”, the favoring of Blacks for jobs and other forms of preferential representation, thereby discriminating against white people and their families.
Obama would likely use the presidential bully pulpit to advocate for “reparations”, a concept whereas white society must be punished and pay a penalty as whipping boys or scapegoats for those whites who’ve had slaves in the past. The fact that slavery occurred hundreds of years ago and that the ancestors of many if not most white people here in this country today were not here way back then when slavery existed seems to be irrelevant.
As Black people have been his most ardent supporter, it is likely he will consider them his main constituency and will look to their specific needs and desires.
Have you noticed the apparent need to have blacks represented in each and every political discussion and the tendency to ask those blacks questions about Obama, as if being black they might have some special (partisan) insight?
Say it: “President Barak Obama”, how does it sound? How does it feel? You might have to get used to it. He’s the most liberal democrat in the senate running against the maverick (not dependably loyal) Republican, John McCain. Seems like a no win outcome for conservatives.
The Republican Party continues to exploit the conservatives, as they are proceeding like lambs being led to the eventual slaughter. The so-called “moderate” (liberal) Republicans exude their smugness as they say; “They’ll (the conservatives) have no choice but to vote for McCain as they will not vote for Obama or Hillary”. Do you wonder why people like Ann Coulter in their indignation and contempt say they “will work for Hillary”? Think about our future with four years of Obama, Hillary, or McCain in the meantime we sit idly by waiting for this catastrophe to happen.

Zsa Zsa,
There is no specific penalty for using a recording device* or many of the other prohibited activities, except that if the election judge catches you and asks you to stop or leave, you can be held in contempt for not following the judge’s orders (see subsection C at the link). If the judge knowingly allows misconduct within their polling place, they are criminally liable.
What is the penalty for breaking that law?
