Obama's support Among Blacks, Hispanics Slips,

Your Schadenfreude fest of the morning!

Barack Obama rode to a comfortable presidential election win in 2008 on the electoral wings of a coalition based on liberal whites, independents and blacks, especially blacks.

Obama lost much of his independent support during the endless debate on his overreaching healthcare plan, when his laser focus on that legislation attracted blame for the stubbornly high unemployment numbers and rate.

Some liberals expressed impatience with Obama over his delay in repealing "don't ask, don't tell," reneging on his Guantanamo closure promise, doubling down on American military involvement in Afghanistan and, most recently, getting involved in combat over Libya. But where else can those liberals look?

However, this morning comes the most troubling political news for Obama's four-day-old reelection campaign:

His job approval among blacks is sliding.

Obama starts his reelection campaign by alienating everybody. Great strategy there, Barack!

Once monolithic, blacks' support for the first African American president is still immense. But for unclear reasons it's declined about 7% from well above 90% to 85% in March. That's a new low since Obama's inauguration 26 months ago.

Unclear reasons? The guy has broken nearly every campaign promise he made, he's been governing against the will of the people, taking over large sections of the private economy and wants to wreck health care. Did I leave anything out? Oh, yeah. I need to take out a bank loan to fill up my lawn mower!

Equally ominous for Obama in 2012, his approval among Hispanics, the nation's fastest-growing demographic, has also fallen to again tie his term low of 54%. That's a drop of 11 points from its early high of 65%.

"Sí se puede" is Spanish for : "Did I lie to you? Yes I can!"

It's a long way to November 2012. Memories are short and a lot could shift public opinion one way or another. Still, Obama's disastrous energy policies will make economic recovery much, much harder. Here's a blast from the past, Mr. O, to inspire your reelection campaign:

"It's the economy, stupid!"
