    NEW POLL SHOWS 75% APPROVE OF BARACK OBAMA'S WHITE HALF

    LINCOLN, Neb. — When it comes to Barack Obama, it’s all Black and White.

    A new Chronicles Poll shows that Americans overwhelming approve of President Obama’s White half, while his Black half has approval ratings that rival Sarah Palin’s.

    “Hell, I even like Obama’s White half,” said GOP leader Rush Limbaugh. “It’s that Socialist Communist Kenyan Black half of his that’s destroying this nation. And that’s not being racist, just telling it like it is.”

    Data gathered from the poll shows that many Americans approve of Obama’s “White” policies – such as Drone-bombing Pakistan, covering up George W. Bush’s torture activities, protecting British Petroleum, and taking the Executive privilege of assassinating anyone he feels like.

    Interestingly, however, Americans also approve of what the GOP secretly calls Obama’s “Black” policies, which includes Health Care Reform, Financial Reform, not letting poor people just die, and telling Fox News they are a propaganda non-news outlet.

    “I think he’s doing the best I can, and I have respect for him,” said Tim Johnson of Tupelo, Miss. “I just don’t know if I trust half of him.”

    Despite enjoying unrivaled support amongst African-Americans and a loyal legion of supporters – who approve of both of the President’s racial sides – the President has seen his overall approval numbers drop to 47 percent recently. In the new poll, his White side had an approval rating of 22 percent.

    “This isn’t a racist thing,” said GOP Standout Newt Gingrich. “It’s just that we judge him based on the color of his skin. To say that’s racist is just playing politics.”

    The Chronicles surveyed 1,141 people from Oct. 1 to Oct. 5. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

    As a lifelong member of the Republican Party I can assure you that we're not secretive at all about referring to Health care "Reform" and Financial "Reform" as Obama's black policies.  Actually - we're currently running political ads in the South saying this very thing.

    But I think most conservative Christians don't even think Barack Obama should have ever existed.  He is changing everything that is good and decent about America.  We were against allowing Blacks and Whites to marry in the first place.  Had the liberals not overturned the miscegenation laws preventing interratial marriage, we would never have had this problem.

    As usual, the liberals weren't just overturning US law, but they were turning their back on God's word.  Interratial marriage is strictly forbidden by the Bible:

    Deuteronomy chapter 7
    1 “When the LORD your God brings you into the land which you go to possess, and has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you,
    2 “and when the LORD your God delivers them over to you, you shall conquer them and utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them.
    3 “Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son.
    4 “For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; so the anger of the LORD will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly.”

    Had we been brave enough back then to follow the word of God and stand up for what was right, we wouldn't have the abomination of Obama-care.  Don't even get me started on the Lilly Ledbetter Act.

    May the good Lord smile on our Republican brothers and sisters this election day.

    Those groups contrasted mainly by religous differences, not race. It would make sense that "they" would turn your sons away from God if they were of a differenet religion. It doesn't matter however. Soon you will all die and the nature of the universe will continue without a care. For this brief moment in time you call for genocide against others, justifying it with your subjective ideologies. Religious people often seem to think of themselves as exclusively important, so I'm not suprised that you speak as if you talk on behalf of a significant majority. Cling to your religion in hopes that you have a grater purpose and that you will continue to exist in some fantasy and not simple become dust in the wind.
