It is an outrageous claim if you are going to solely put the blame on either the African American vote or on Obama himself (which is what the newscasters were doing). Plenty of non-African Americans voted "yes" on Prop 8, and plenty of African Americans voted "no" on prop 8.
Of course, Obama clearly has nothing to do with the vote at all.
