In an unbelievable display of racial politics, Barack Obama, the post-racial Democrat candidate for President has played the race card.

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.
