Jackson State University student – Micah Dennie at Oct 3, 2012 presidential debate watch party in Jackson Mississippi. He says Romney cant relate & he won’t vote for him. Says he’s voting for Obama.
At location of 2012 Presidential debate watch party in Jackson, MS, Micah Dennie said he’ll vote for President Obama in November. Micah considers himself as an “Independent”, but decided he’ll vote for Obama to be reelected because he feels Obama is focusing on the middle class this election. He add that he likes Obama’s plan to help all Americans get health insurance. On the flip side, Micah said the reason he will not vote for Mitt Romney is because he don’t feel Romney can relate to the middle class or what he’s going thru.
This presidential debate watch party was held on Oct 3, 2012 at 8pm at Hals & Mals Restaurant on 200 Commerce, Jackson, Mississippi – in the Red Room. The organizers of this event was Organizing for America (OFA) Mississippi chapter. An estimate of over 200 people attended this event.
Kind of ludicrous that someone would say that Romney can’t relate to the middle class but that Obama can. Obama did not have any sort of “typical” American experience, much less a “typical” black American experience growing up. By using this young man’s logic, you shouldn’t vote for anyone that isn’t just like yourself. If you’re Ivy League & wealthy, that’s who you vote for. It you’re uneducated and poor, you can only vote for someone like you. It makes no sense.
I’m black & American, so I assume that qualifies me as being black American. but I don’t understand what u mean by having “typical” black American experience.
By virtue of his spending many formative years in Indonesia…by attending Muslim schools…by attending Ivy League schools..while those things are not exactly alien, the combination of things that comprise his background is not “typical” for the majority of Americans of any race. A typical background would include being raised in a public, private or parochial school setting in the US, maybe attending Ivy League, but more typically a state or private college–if at all–and if schooled overseas, it’s usually due to a parent being ivolved in military or government or even private sector. I firmly believe all of us are products of our enivronments and what happens the first 10-15 years of our lives has lasting impressions on how we view the world and interact with other people.
I am a Mississippian, and Republican and will vote Obama, so there!
ditto .. however, Im okie.
