What got him elected? His experience and decisiveness? – no…His looks and speaking ability? -maybe… Racial politics was a big part of it. Now the question for Obama is how to use his race card in a new and more effective way.

Unfortunately, most “informed citizenry” still get their news (what little they pay attention to aside from “American Idol”) from the MSM, and will continue to do so because the donks and their MSM lovers have effectively demonized Fox News and conservative (notice I didn’t say “other”) outlets.

Until it stops working, His Hollowness will continue using “racism” as their trump card and scaring AARP members as their M.O.

No one with more than two functioning brain cells thought Obama was “post-racial”. That was just more of the unicorn-and-Skittles messianic image his lackeys in the MSM concocted. You’d have to be in full denial of reality to buy such nonsense, but then again, that describes liberals perfectly.

You want post-racial? It’s not in Obama, but it exists. If you want to see someone who personifies post-racial, I give you Officer Kelly King of Cambridge, MA.

Obama never had a race issue! OB uses the race issue. The so-called “disconnect” he felt in prep school was over the absndonment by his mother & his father—not race. In Hawaii, people of color are the norm. I lived in Hawaii during the time he was attending that expensive prep school. No, this is a man who schmoozed his way onto the front stage and found an issue he could use–race. And anyone who thought he was post-racial should listen to some of Rev. Wright’s famous speeches–won’t call them homilies. OB may perpetuate this post-racial mode, but just like the term “reverse racist” [which does not exist!] it is founded on the premise that only white people are racist. Prof. Gates, a personal friend of OB, is also racist. OB may have thought the Presidency was the perfect place to hammer his agenda home–but this time rhetoric did not work. He did not miscalibrate his words. We all understood exactly what he was saying–and many were offended. When does this guy actually run the country?
