Chris, it sounds like President Obama in playing the race card wants to ensure his re-election prospects in 2012. Obama certainly has done nothing for the incumbent Democrat Congressional Members who will be scrambling for their political lives in just a few short months.
Interestingly enough, the President received the same percentage of white American voters as did John Kerry did in 2004. Obama beat McCain with a 3 per cent increase in African American voters and a flip of Hispanic voters in some key states.
Do Americans realize that it is in Obama’s interest to fire up his base to assure they turn out and vote?
And, how do these voters feel about voting for candidates based on their race, color and ethnicity versus their character and political policies?
I guess we will see in November.
