African Americans have moved to Obama simply because they like him more. Hillary, painting herself as a blue-collar, fighting, drinking good 'ol gal has distanced herself from the black community. She left it up to Bill to go to these areas and vouch for her.
Do I have any idea what Bill did for African Americans? Yes, I do, having been raised in a predominantly black neighborhood. Looking at your profile, I have a hard time believing you even remember what times were like under Clinton.

Times were great during the Clintons, do YOU remember that?? Gas got down to about 85 cents, the economy was booming, we were out of a recession, he ended his term with a surplus. Houses were selling like crazy and people were not foreclosing. That had to help you in your black community, did you not drive? When the price of gas is down, a lot of prices go down.
The only ones unhappy during Bill Clinton's presidence?? The republicans. I worked for an oil company then, they were all republicans, except for us few democrats, and they were so down in the mouth, I loved every minute of it. I had to constantly remind my republican family how great it was, they were all republicans and would not give Clinton credit for anything. And then they voted Bush in, and look where we are now.
