CBS Polls Where are you?


Imagine my surprise as a Black woman who so disapproves of President Obama's actions as president to find out that 96% of Black Americans approve and 4% don't know or care? We'll talk about the 4% in a minute.

So who is CBS talking to? Were you called? None of my very pro-life, pro-low taxes, pro-2nd amendment, oh, let's just say it pro-Constitution and Bill of Rights friends were called.

So this amazing, profound, Black mandate came from 973 people who actually still answer their residential, land line or who will answer an unknown number on their randomly called cellphone. Not 973 Black people, 973 total people. They admit that Blacks were over samples compared to census measures of actual percentage of the population--212 of 973 or about 22% of the sampled.

Not too surprisingly this poll was a partnership between CBS and the New York Times. Not too vested in the outcome!

So let me ask you hardworking, taxpaying Americans(Black)--when was the last time you had time to talk to a pollster on the telephone? Answer a random cellphone call? Or if you are conservative, continued to talk with anyone who initially identified his or herself as being connected to the NY Times or CBS? Sort of explains the don't knows, too!

I rest my case!
