Hopey has figured that he had the black vote in his back pocket. After all, no matter how badly he was f'ing things up the past 2+ years, the poll numbers reflected a sort of "unconditional love" from this voting block. I suspect that alot of the self-appointed intellectual elite amongst the black community felt that Hopey was going to just shower down all of these high paying jobs and benefits that everyone seemed to think would appear out of nowhere 3 years ago.
Instead, he's just as hapless in the eyes of this group as well. He's literally cornered on all sides. A few years back I noticed that he was trying to fashion himself as the "king of compromise"; constantly spewing Leftist rhetoric while also trying to placate his Wall Street overlords. In the process, he wound up alienating everyone EXCEPT the blacks who were still at 90+% (always skewing the approval numbers). Finally, the king of compromise has pissed this group off as well and he has absolutely no political capital remaining for some blatantly racist program.
