    Apparently, to newscasters, Blacks vote for Obama because he's Black. But Whites vote for Obama because of his policies.

        @neiltyson PoC vote for Obama because his policies don't treat them like subhumans, so do women, so do white men w/o car elevators.

        @neiltyson According to @FoxNews, they just need more whites to vote so the Republicans can win, but they accidentally left out "rich males"

        @neiltyson Don't you dare use logic, reason, and facts with Republicans. Rich people can skip all of that "book" stuff.
