Obama’s racist card

The ever so magnanimous and open minded Barack Obama declared that the racist Republican party will undoubtedly run a racist campain against him, the poor helpless millionaire with 4 times as much money to spend as his racist competitor. This is your uniter, the one who was going to bring the USA out of its racist past into a progressive uptopia. The same man who just months ago declared his “unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people.” Words we want to hear, no doubt. But does he truly believe them? Well, it looks like if you are a Republican, the answer is no. Certainly it is nothing you would have heard in the church which he attended for twenty years until it finally became disadvantageous politically. Of course, the reason he came to that church initially is likely because it was very politically advantageous at the time. What Obama revealed today, in a highly unusual and uncharacteristic bit of candor is that he is unable to get past his own views of whites as racists and blacks as victims. Just as he implied that “typical whites” (imagine McCain making any statement about a “typical black”, he would be crucified in the media) like his grandma are probably racist. Barack Obama wants to have it both ways, like any typical politician. But he’s not supposed to be a typical politician. He’s supposed to be our political savior. He’s supposed to bring change, he’s supposed to be the catalyst for utopia. How can he do this by being a typical politician? Is more of the same going to bring us utopia? Or is it possible that Barack Obama is simply a good speaker (only when he has a teleprompter) who has promised much more than he can possibly deliver. And what about racial harmony? Or the racial “healing” we’re supposed to get? Obama’s not going to in any meaningful way assuage white guilt because he insists on using it for his political advantage. Just like everything else at his disposal.
