“I addressed a group of businessmen, doctors, and ordinary concerned citizens in a suburb of Chicago.”

The sad thing is that most of them were likely white. We are seeing disturbing polls showing that blacks are still optimistic about Barack Obama’s presidency. Whites are increasingly becoming more pessimistic. The first man of color president should have been a center-right politician. Obama is instead a non-violent leftist—and this is leading to a disaster. He is perhaps even tragically inept and out of his depth. The majority of blacks, however, perceive our opposition as a sure sign of racism. We are supposedly crapping on a brother. The election of Obama is setting back race relations in the United States by a good twenty years.
