Obama currently has 40-43% of Whites, according to recent national surveys by CNN and Quinnipiac, with up to 5% still undecided.

Obama got 43% in 2008, so he's perfectly fine with Whites at the moment.

They say he only needs 40% nationally.  We'll see!  Of course it really depends on the state by state situation - would love to know what he got/needs in Ohio and Wisconsin.

This  shows the power of the minority vote, we are really into uncharted territory in American history. Will this eventually produce a white backlash and cause whites to start voting as a bloc .

The scenario where the nation as a whole follows, say the Georgia model.  I could see it very easily occurring, though obviously there will always be a fairly large 'liberal' white group.  Here's my guess as to the 'majority minority states' by 2050 (some demographers predict we will be liberated from white-majority well before that, but nearly all see the US being liberated by 2050).  The red are already majority minority states, the green will be free of white domination by 2050 (or well before), the gray I'm not sure about or believe it will be close to 50/50:
