To blacks, the 'shine has worn off' Obama

Support among blacks for President Obama is starting to creep back up, but the president’s recent creation of “African Americans for Obama” reveals that he has to work overtime to get the critical voting block as jazzed about his reelection as they were in 2008.

Experts, polls and black officials suggest that while African Americans still stand by their man, their enthusiasm to vote for him in 2008’s record number has waned and that’s troubling when compared to a much larger drop in white voter support.
