— Purple Avenger Pretty good Drinking With Bob rant vid below the fold...
While CRU was cooking the data with Sterno, Wikipedia was cooking any dissenting scientific opinion with a flame thrower. (via commenter K~Bob's tip)
And it looks like Obama's support among blacks is softening. (H/T Duane on this one)
...A breakout of black voters in Washington Post surveys over the past eight months shows that those who “strongly” approve of Obama fell from 85 to 69 percent, while his disapproval rating quintupled—from 2 to 11 percent. Admittedly, that’s still very low number, but it’s evidently moving in the wrong direction...

So Obama's an A-hole and the greater population is discovering that. Great!
The Wikipedia article bothers me a lot more. What else is getting flushed down the memory hole that's not even on our radar scope?

1) The correct heads would explode.
2) There's only like 1000 partial scholarships.
3) If Rush himself actually got involved, Fundraising simplified.
4) We can target the people conservative think need help (poverty + merit) instead of Affirmative Action.
5) But the primary beneficiaries are already quite freaking steamed. This is the one area where Americans of African decent seem to be recognizing the bars of the cage the Dems have them in. So... shine the light here dammit.
It could work with Palin, or (naturally) Reagan. But it would work best with someone who is already in the limelight.

Wikipedia is like a library with one book. It's a big-ass book, but that's all you get.
Dissenting is disallowed (while being paid lip service) and even plain old, necessary-to-keep-from being-bored-to-death difference, is non-existent.

I honest to God never thought I'd see the day his approval ratings among the blacks would drop below 90%
I suspect he'll be in the 70% range by this time next year if this recession drags on much longer.

(And before you all get in my face about being racist!, keep in mind....that's what Wanda Sykes said at that dinner show thingy back when Barry got in. Y'know, the one where she said she hoped Rush Limbaugh died? Yeah, that one. She said that if he ever screws up big time, that's when the blacks will remember his mother and start calling him a mulatto. Barry and Michelle did not look pleased at that remark.)

Take a look at any of the other wiki articles about historical large climate shifts Earth has been through. Most notably the Little Ice Age, and the Snowball Earth scenario. Look at the language they use in those articles, and compare it to AGW.

Even if Obama's popularity with the African American community drops, will they simply just not vote, or *gasp* vote Republican?
My guess is they'll hold their noses and vote for the zero again.

Sure we could be encouraged by Obama's numbers slipping with the Black community in general, or we could get even more depressed because the ones no-longer enamored of him think he has sold out to Whitey and that he's not going far enough. At the end of the day I don't see a real huge change happing in that demographic.
He could announce his intentions to have the 14th amendment repealed and he would still out-poll anyone white.

No, they won't (in great numbers) vote Republican, especially with Obama on the ballot, but you are now seeing Stage 3: Depression, starting slowly to manifest itself. One thing that bothered me about the high approval numbers among African Americans was that I can't compare them to other Democrats. Although they ultimately vote about 90% for Democrats, there's a level of cynical skepticism about all politicians.
What is also happening is that he's making his supporters look bad and since he was the vehicle of the hopes and dreams of the African American community (Finally a black president! Who besides AmishDude would have thought that being black would have been a net electoral positive in raaacist America? Surely not Michael Steele.) he is letting them down by being incompetent on every level.
They defended him and he hasn't delivered anything except rank incompetence -- and not just on the big things but unforced errors on little things as well. He's also a dork and an arrogant know-it-all prick. He's completely unlikable unless he's nothing more than a symbol to you.
Ultimately, the black community will suffer a general malaise unless a black person with credibility challenges Obama or mocks him. The only thing, I think, that will start the floodgates is a black comedian making fun of him.
I wonder if there's a little whispering about Obama in the way that Cedric's character in Barbershop ragged on Jesse Jackson.

Of course, when I was in college, it wouldn't have been gentlemanly to call them morons.
As I recall, they were called Alphi Phi and Delta Gamma, the former of which is, I believe, Greek for ditzy and easy, and the latter of which is Greek for just plain batty. Those are loose translations, of course.
Posted by: Greg at December 19, 2009 09:37 PM (Cta0m)
Hi Amish Dude
I have a question about a reply that you made to one of my questions.
As I recall, you said that you taught trig and something to do with designs whenever you were able to teach the latter.
I'm pretty familiar with trig, but not the designs to which you referred. Without getting too technical, what aspect of mathematics is that? I'm curious. It's been years since I used math for any purpose, other than balancing my check book.

Hi, Greg. I don't recall that, but what designs are are algebraic structures.
A design is a family of subsets of some large set and the subsets have some intersection properties. The most direct practical applications are th the constructions of codes. I can't say much more in blog comments. It's a part of combinatorics and related to graph theory.
A good introduction is Kirkman's schoolgirl problem. (Which has nothing to do with Japanese schoolgirls and all of the mischief they seem to get into.)

I'll check it out. Thanks. I tried to Google it last time that you replied to me. But Google leaves a lot to be desired. (And Yahoo Search isn't any better.)
I excelled in algebra in ways too numerous to mention here. So now I'm even more puzzled by your last reply.
Posted by: Greg at December 19, 2009 10:31 PM (Cta0m)
Try "Mathworld Design Theory" in a search.
Mathworld is good for all advanced math stuff. Wiki (for as long as it lasts) is also pretty good on math.

The drop in black approval is merely the realization that he ISN'T going to pay their mortgage or buy the gas for their free car (that is, more than we've already been doing). After listening to the morons who lined up for hours for that 'free' money a couple months back and nearly started a full blown riot when it turned out not to be, this is the only thing that fits.
There seems to be a huge percentage of the permanent black underclass that is too many generations from earning a living themselves that are vested in 'free' stuff as a right, "because The Man been keepin' us down." Think Homey The Clown. These morally diseased folks came out in droves for Teh One as the Black Moses who would lead them out of the ghetto and into Bel Aire with a new Cadillac for everyone.
They got suckered.
Ha Ha.

Hillary likes your analogy. After the terrible failure that was New Coke, the Coca-Cola company never relinquished it's domination over rival Pepsi. The reaction to New Coke was that people realized they wanted Old Coke. They didn't switch to Pepsi. I am hoping the electorate is thirsty for something other than Coke or Pepsi.
