Obama's Policies will ensure a Democratic Majority for the Next 30 Years


I know that many of you may think that one this is too early to predict and two it is too incongruous with the times. Albeit, this is true the facts are there. President Obama won more than 351 electoral votes. This shows that he won an overwhelming majority of the country. The policies that he has put in place during his first 100 days has locked down some key constituencies. The Lilly Ledbetter Act in which the President signed into law will ensure that women recieve equal pay. This will help to lock down the women vote. A good majority of the voting block are women. He has also strengthened ties with Hispanic voters with his policies on Cuba and immigration. Stats show that Hispanics will out number whites and blacks in the years to come. Obama and the Democrats received a majority of their vote in 2008. African Americans are still voting for Democrats 95% of the time. This has increased with the election of the President. I believe with these factors coupled with the shrinking GOP base, the Democratic Party will be in power for a while
