Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.

“It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy,” Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. “We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid.

“They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”

He said he was also set for Republicans to say “he’s got a feisty wife,” in trying to attack his wife Michelle.

“We know the strategy because they’ve already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn’t moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us,” he said.

Is Obama out of his mind to think this will play in America today?

• Here is a candidate that used race to defeat Hillary Clinton in “red states” where African American voters dominate the Democrat Party.

• Here is a candidate who actively registers African American voters ONLY at the Los Angeles Revlon Cancer walk.

• Here is a candidate whose first national television ad portrays himself as half black and half white from Kansas – so he is “one of us.”

It is Obama and the Democrat Party that has used race and Obama’s blackness to their political advantage.

Now, with this said, the GOP in order to defeat him will do so by not demonizing him but contrasting on how wrong Obama is on the issues.

By the way, Obama IS inexperienced.

The Limit on Marriage Constitutional Amendment has qualified by initiative and will appear on the California November general election ballot.

Supporters of gay rights have asked the California Supreme Court to block a November ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriages.

In a legal brief filed late Friday with the high court, the gay rights groups argue that the initiative is a “revision” of the state Constitution, which would require involvement of the Legislature, rather than simply an amendment, which can be approved by a majority vote in an election.

The California courts in the past have been very reluctant to throw out a measure before going to the voters. However, who knows what this court will do?

The Alliance Defense Fund has vowed to fight this latest legal challenge to allowing California voters decide the gay marriage issue.

“Equality California and its allies are desperate to evade democracy. First, they used the courts to erase the votes of nearly 5 million Californians who voted to protect marriage. Now, they are trying to silence the people’s voice forever,” said ADF Senior Counsel Glen Lavy. “This is just another attempt to force a radical political agenda upon the people of California. The opponents of marriage are willing to use any means necessary to impose their will.”

“ADF and ProtectMarriage will defend the right of the people to participate in the democratic process and vote on the constitutional amendment,” Lavy added.

The gay marriage proponents are obviously afraid of another election. They will lose and gay marriage AGAIN will not be recognized.

Sadly, the legal challenges will not end by the homosexual lobby.

With Barack Obama as a Presidential candidate they will massively turn out their “black” demographic with little cost to the party in either money or promises.

So much for the post-racial candidate. And, note that Barry reminded America in his first general election television ad this week that he is half white and from Kansas.
