This country isn’t racist, Barack Obama is.
Axelrod was probably geared up against any charges of black racism. Democrats think that the Republicans will use the “race card” at any opportunity. McCain stayed above that, possibly to the detriment of his own campaign. Only a few conservatives like Sean Hannity brought up Reverend Wright, the adulterous head of Obama’s “Christian” church of black nationalism.
The groundwork was prepared anyway. This candidate was bi-racial. He was world traveled, so much so that his citizenship is in question. Most importantly, he was post racial, a bridge to moving past the racism of the past and erasing decades of liberal white guilt. What’s the cure for racism? It’s black president.
I described the first 100 days as a perfect storm of liberal economic policy. This week is a perfect storm of presidential failure. Is it any wonder the climb in the stock market coincided with the failure of an August passage of unfunded Obamacare? Then, on his make or break speech night, the big story is the cop hating, racist analysis of a minor incident. He’s the Ice-T of the 21st century.
This is fundamental. Many Obama voters may actually believe in their own subtle racism. But they were hoping to be absolved of it by voting for this president. When he told the country that there is still racism at the hands of stupid white cops, they died a little inside.
This Jackass is now the angry black man. While Americans are comfortable with a black president, they are not comfortable with a black president who doesn’t like regular white people. From all indications, the president likes rich, educated white men, but disdains working class, hard working, gun toting rednecks and cops who teach classes on racial sensitivity.
My advice to Republicans is let it lie. This will work so much better as a campaign ad a year from now. He knows what he did. America knows what he did.
