Obama’s campaign was always racial. He was careful to not say so himself, but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t. O’s absurd claim to be post-racial is one of the things which marked him right off as just another snake-oil salesman.
Right now he’s up to another of his old tricks – he waits until after he’s caught with his pants down, and then tries to dissociate himself from whatever is deemed offensive, without specifying what it is. “You have an issue with one of my statements? Then I dissociate myself from … uh, whichever statement it was.” He never has to admit to anything, and he never fights for anything. He is a very timorous man. I’d guess that he’s browbeaten something awful at home. I just don’t see White House material in Obama.
But the Reverend has given us something useful – a good clear look at the face of American racism. But contrary to the tired old meme the Democrats and the professional race-baiters have been shovelling at us for three decades now, that face isn’t of some white guy – it’s of some Wright guy.
