Obama: Numbers Crunching

Sandra Rose November 6, 2008

This is in response to those who have emailed me with their assertions that the “citizens of America” voted for Barack Obama by a landslide. The real numbers hardly support this.

Black Americans make up 31% of registered voters. Only 13% of those voted for Obama

Out of 300 million Americans, only 1/3 voted in this year’s election

Out of that 1/3, only 63 million Americans voted for Obama. That’s 63 million out of 300 million Americans. Hardly a landslide

Stocks fell over 500 points the day after the election. That’s the steepest post-election drop in history

Obama’s popular vote margin over McCain (52.4-46.5) is less than Bush’s margin over Dukakis (53.4-45.6), and Bill Clinton’s margin over Dole (49.25-40.71)

Democrats failed to win a filibuster-proof 60-seat majority in the Senate. Meaning that while Americans voted to elect Obama, they didn’t want a majority Democratic Senate that would slide his bills through

Sandra,
I enjoy your website but you are such a negative person. Why can’t you rejoice with the rest of us. I am happy to have a Democrat vs a Republican in office. I will say this Obama will not be able to clean up the mess created by the Republicans in his first year. That will take time. He will need support from both side in order for US to see change. Stop fighting it and embrace it.

anything to rain on his parade…the bottom line is he WON and there was no CHEATING involved…get over it and yourself already…

And this was posted to say WHAT?????
Girl BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
ontaya brooks

Auntie,
You are not even a citizen, so why does Mr. President matter so much to you. He is the president elect as of Jan. 20/2009 so just get over it. No matter what you say, his address will be at the 1600.

what your not a citizen here SANDRA? no wonder you don’t want to see CHANGE SANDRA!!!! good info auntie!!!!

Sandra, I’m confused at why you have to discredit what is clearly a VICTORY for all of America. Do you feel the need to be RIGHT so bad that you are trying to bring the rest of us down? I feel bad for you. I enjoy reading your blog (obviously), but I do not believe you are happy with yourself. I say this only because you hardly ever print something POSITIVE. In fact, you haven’t said anything positive about the election and our victory.

Very disheartening….
terika83

Sandra….please. Like really…the election is OVER. Get over it…if McCain won, you would NOT be sitting here breaking downt he numbers so please and from what i was watching (according to the electorial votes) he DID win by a landslide so let it go..even if he didn’t, he still WON. Get over it…geez.

And you can’t compare the stock market drop after THIS YEARS election to any other year because we ALL know the stock market BEEN crashing this year….this is not a shock to me and is NOT due to the election…please.
carmelita79

Damn, LET IT GO!!!

voters 18-29: 66%-32%- obama
This country is turning over. it is no longer goin to be able to keep this old boy way of thinking. there is a new generation coming up.

What a HATER and her #’s are WRONG ….

I don’t feel like taking out the time to prove you wrong and get all the #’s , facts and figures .. but understand this … per CNN (the most credible newsite according to you)

Obama – 64,123,275
McCain – 56,545,589

The landslide was in the form of 7,577,686 million more votes then McCain …

HI HATER!
Negrito

Black Americans make up 31% of registered voters. Only 13% of those voted for Obama

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

I find this very hard to believe. None of the numbers make much sense. I need some sources
candi21

Atleast 2 of those bulletins arent true. Oh yea Sandra the landslide was compared to McCain’s numbers not to 300 million americans.
Nina

The landslide reference is probably because of the electoral votes (which matters the most): Barack – 349 vs McCain – 163. Barack received double over McCain.

YES WE CAN!
ELove

Scoping YOU Hataz !!!!!

Is this from one of those yt supremist sites? Ive been lurking on a bunch of them, and they have made-up statistics posted as well as 100s of upset, im gonna kill myself posts.

Wow, I can’t believe you are such a hater Sandra. You really do need to cut it out. I guess McPalin was going to just work wonders for you huh!!!!!!!
Kymystry

PER CNN:
And minorities went heavily into the Obama camp. Blacks, 96 percent Obama to 3 percent McCain; Latinos, 67 percent Obama to 30 percent McCain; and Asians, 63 percent Obama to 34 percent McCain.
Kymystry

Voters in the 18 to 24 age group broke 68 percent for Obama to 30 percent for John McCain, according to the exit polling. Those in the 25 to 29 age bracket went 69 percent to 29 percent in Obama’s favor.

The only age group where McCain prevailed was 65 and over, and that by just a 10-percentage-point margin, 54 percent to 44 percent, the exit polls showed.

ALSO FROM CNN
brwnsugga4you

what difference does this nonsense make at this point??? i’ll wait! he could have won by just 1%…the fact is HE WON!!! why are we going back and forth about this…at such a historical time in history. this is some bs!

I still got that ticket for ya Sandra!!! Walmart will give you a refund on that case of deodorant you bought, you ain’t gonna need it in the UK since yall don’t wear it anyway.
The Divine Ms. K

Yeah, where is the source link on these numbers??? And just becasue there are 300 million Americans, does not mean all of them voted, so saying he ONLY (only – really – the world ONLY) got 63 million votes is ridiculous.

End result is – he WON. Sandra, if you were allowed to vote, even your vote for McCain/Palin (who according to her camp, she didn’t even know Africa was a continent and couldn’t identify the 3 countries in NAFTA) would not have saved them!

And of the 300 million people Sandra, how many are children under the age of 18?

When I saw all the sites calling Sandra a hater I didn’t give it much thought, but this has me thinking…………

He won Sandra and I don’t think you were taking care of business you were just too stubborn to post anything positive. It doesn’t matter what you say or anyone else. He won! Obama is the MF’ing President!

Sandra just starting some mess. That election was such a landslide. NOBODY even thought the election would be called as early as it was. They last ones went late into the night or the next day before they could make a call. I was getting ready to put some clothes in the wash machine. i walked past my TV and saw everybody start cheering and was like “WHAT THE HEELL?” I didn’t even realize that CA’s polls were closed.

Black Americans make up 31% of registered voters. Only 13% of those voted for Obama…….

ok now out of that 31% of REGISTERED voters…..how many actually made it to the polls to vote?? Now you take that number and show me the REAL percentage of black voters that voted for Obama……….

and in the end like prynsexxx said……. HE STILL WON!!!!

get over it…….
miamore73

Sandra I remember seeing that 94% of African Americans that voted did so in favor of Obama. I think your stats may be wrong. You also have to account for all of the first time voters that came out. The whole event was wonderful. Not just because he was black but he truely moved people. The apathy that has enveloped our country is truely being replaced by hope and willingness to do something to make a change.

I live in Cali and the ban against same sex marriages was approved. 5-10 years ago people would have just accepted that. But last night gays and lesbians took the streets in protest. I don’t necessarily agree with homosexuality but I love the fact that people are now willing to do something for change instead of sitting back and just accepting whatever is dealt to them.

Are all 300 million of those Americans eligible to vote (over 18) and registered to vote? Don’t think so, but you do keep us thinking…

Hi Hater
Avanti

SANDRA,

ACCORDING TO BOTH CNN & FOX NEWS, 95% OF AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS VOTED FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA.

NO DISRESPECT BUT I’LL TRUST THEIR NUMBERS OVER YOURS SEEING AS HOW THEY’RE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN BLOGGERS AND SEEING AS HOW FOX NEWS DOESN’T EVEN SUPPORT OBAMA, I’M SURE THEY WOULDN’T LIE FOR HIM!!!!!!

95% BLACK VOTE, NOT 13%…..BIG DIFFERENCE!
http://myspace.com/shae_camille model_chick78

What the hell does any of that have to do with the price of tea in China ?? It does NOT take away from his victory whatsoever ! He WON ! Get over it ! You will NOT convince me that black people did not have his back, or the many, MANY other races and creeds that voted him into office….SORRY SWEETIE !!
katgirl33

Somebody made this point, but I’mma make it again, using 7 years ago as an example….Gore won the popular votes, and I don’t know by much…..Bush won the electoral votes, and that’s what put him there, and effectively kept him there for 8 years….

So what our President won by MILLION OF VOTES!

His electoral count was DOUBLED THAT of McCain’s!

That’s it, and that’s all.

Our President has moved on from Tuesday, and started taking care of business already…

We need to do the same Auntie!

OK her is the real break down

Total pop of America is 300 Mil
80 Million is children leaving 220 million adults
2.3 million people are incarcerated leaving 217.2 Million people eligible voters out of that total there was over 120 million people that acutally voted leaving only 92 million people who didnt vote. 64 % of america voted.out of that percent over 50% voted for Obama. the highest turn out since 1902( check CNN for verifications of my numbers)
Also 90 % of the 30 % of African American voters voted for Obama, as wells as 65% of latinos. Also The DEM hold a majority of both levels of congress. Which means that they hold all levels except the supreme courts. This is not including the rep that do sometime go across the isle to vote along with the dems, while not fillibuster proof, they still hold a large majority. Any want proof a date, let me know.

if republicans..even ones as staunch as elizabeth hasselback can get over the fact that obama has won and get behind the president elect….you can too…if not i know there is a one way ticket back to the uk somewhere out there for you

MissMia731

I swear..It will be people in our own community that will try and tear PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA down..These figures are so irrelevant. African American came out in full support! We pushed Obama’s win into a major landslide. It’s the electoral vote that really counts and Barack won 349 to McCain’s 163. So these stats mean nothing. We had a record turnout at the polls. Waited hours in line to make our voices heard. I just read an article on CNN that the Republican party is very worried because there was a high turnout of Latino voters also. They are worried because a lot of them switched parties to vote for Barack. Don’t let anyone, including Sandra Rose’s negative comments deter us from our happiness! States like Virginia voted Democratic and they hadn’t voted Democratic since Lyndon B. Johnson ran! And it was just announced 30 mins ago that Barack took North Carolina and we just won the Oregon senate! God is Good! We did it people…White, Black, Asian, Latin…we all did it! Lets celebrate! And for those that are bitter….Hi Haters!!!!

“ARE YOU GOING THRU SOME KIND OF LIFE CRISIS”

A no dick/coochie crisis?
essence

It’s time to stop throwing blows @ OBAMA because the fact of the matter is he’s President no matter who hates on him. His courage to step out and try to accomplish such a thing is amazing and it inspires me I don’t know about anyone else. Back in the day people hated on Dr Martin Luther King so I’m sure if Sandra’s site was up then she would have had something negative to say about him too.

Obama did it and I for one am very damn proud but Sandra doesn’t have to share the views of most of us who visit the site. Sandra is entitled to her opinion but the only one who can judge OBAMA is our Lord above. This man went threw so much to be in the position he’s in and I don’t care that his margins that he won by were less than other President’s or how many Blacks, Whites and other races didn’t vote I’m only interested in those who did, those who saw this man’s vision and wanted him to be the one to fix some of the mess this country is in. Just like Obama said in his acceptance speech you might have not voted for him but he needs those who did and didn’t to come together and support him.

Negativaty won’t get us there so lets uplift this brother.

WHILE WE MAKE UP JUST 30% OF GA POPULATION .. PRES. ELECT OBAMA GOT 98% OF OUR VOTE
Naima

What are the source of your numbers. You can also use some reading comprehension skills, this does not make sense:Black Americans make up 31% of registered voters. Only 13% of those voted for Obama.

You are saying only 13% black register voters came out and voted for Obama with those long lines, know you know that is a lie. There is no way that 87% of blk registered voters stayed home or voted for McCain.
And the pic you posted is actually pro Obama
You just play on your overly emotional readers

Obama won! Negative comments and accusations mean absolutely nothing at all. He won, I’m proud I took part in it, I’m proud of the community that took part in it, I’m proud of the man that made the community take part in it, I’m proud of the people who look past his skin color and voted for him. I’m proud of the people who had faith and him. Damnit I’m just proud and nobody can steal my joy!

Now we know what you were doing when you were supposedly at the BofA- gathering some negative information so you won’t look “as bad”….. The truth of the matter is, we voted, and we chose our leader. What happens will happen rather we choose to harp on it or not. Negative feelings yeild negative results, so I say Praise the Lord. Praise him for a Positive influence for my children. Praise him for a man that wears his clothes in the proper size, and calls his wife the “Love of his Life” in public, and not just “his people”.

Parents of all time, especially Black parents, tell their children that they can be whoever they want to be. Some believe them, and some don’t. Now when I tell my children, I have proof, and that happened on Nov 4, 2008. America has a lot of work to do, and I am the first to admit this is just the beginning. The rights we gained from the 60’s took a long time, and a lot of work. People, let’s come together and show these “nay-sayers” that enough is enough. Let’s take a stand and become real citizens of America- our America! We have proven that we have a voice, even though others have tried to convince us that we didn’t. YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do realize that you have to be 18 to vote, right? Sou out of the over 300 million people in this country, it is safe to say that ALL are not eligible to vote.

So, your statement about only 1/3 of the population voting is false. A better statistic would be what percentage of ELIGIBLE voters (over 18, not incarcerated, not a felon in some states) cast a ballot on Tuesday?

Stats are a dangerous thing for the person with an agenda.

As to your popular vote margin stat: Obama was the first Democrat to get over 50% of the popular vote since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Clinton, as popular as he was, never got more than 50% of the country to vote for him. Point is: Obama won the majority of the popular vote.

You are cherry-picking election stats. I mean, if you are going to include popular vote margins, why not mention Bush/Clinton, Bush/Gore, Bush/Kerry, or the host of other close elections? Obama won by a popular vote margin of 6%. That is hardly razor thin.

Finally, you include a picture of Phillipino students arguably protesting President-elect Obama. Interesting fact: The Phillipines was one of only three countries in the WORLD to support a McCain presidency.

This ish is ridiculous! OK if you add up McCain’s 163 twice, he STILL didnt beat Barack! Sandra plz read JUDGES 2:14-16, enuff said!
14And Deborah said to Barak, “Up! For this is the day in which(A) the LORD has given Sisera into your hand.(B) Does not the LORD go out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men following him. 15(C) And the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army before Barak by the edge of the sword. And Sisera got down from his chariot and fled away on foot. 16And Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth-hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not a man was left.

AMEN!

He won 2:1 in the Electoral College, which by the way, is how a President is elected in the USA.

Sorry, Sandra but game, set, match. The best man won.

Sandra your starting to get a little too negative!!
why can’t you just be happy that Obama won and made history?
then again you shouldnt even talk because your not from the U.S.A
DMNB

Well there is nothing we can do about it now, Obama will be President of US. We need to be praying for him and us at this point.
BK2ATLMAN

haha, does it matter he still won.. I was going to check those numbers, but WHY when the first statement is false.. Yeah theirs 300 million people in the US, but only 169 million registered voters, so

86 million democrat – 55 million republican – 28 million others registered.

Obama: Numbers Crunching
