Why Obama’s Presidency Has to Be All About Race Now
The Federalist ^ | April 8, 2014 | Robert Tracinski

Barack Obama’s presidency is failing.

Despite what he and his cheerleaders in the press think, he is still losing the argument over ObamaCare. The program has posted a few non-catastrophic enrollment numbers lately, but a lot of the public has already made up their minds. They never liked the program much to begin with, and now that they know what’s in it, they like it even less. The economic recovery, such as it is, continues to be slow, painful, and jobless. The president’s foreign policy is spinning out of control in all directions.

So the left is doing what they always do when their policies fail: make everything about race, instead. If the Obama presidency itself is what’s failing, then his whole presidency—the one that was supposed to usher in a post-racial era—must be all about race, too.

Hence a long article by Jonathan Chait in New York magazine informing us that yes, Obama’s term in office was really about race all along: “if you…set out to write a social history of the Obama years, one that captured the day-to-day experience of political life, you would find that race has saturated everything as perhaps never before.”(continued)

The Arab-American, fractionally-black president must be all about race to maintain support of the Socialist-Left base which is consumed with "race" (except of course when the "victim" is on the "wrong side of political ideology").

where is that cartoon of Pepe LePeuw telling the Americans to vote for him as he is black and white and he stinks. pepe is a skunk. Obama is no different than a skunk. he stinks and he has a stripe down his back to, where they removed his backbone as he is a spineless like a jellyfish that gives any swimmer a sting. Obama the Skunk Obama the Jelly Fish

This is why I expect Eric Holder to bring civil rights charges against George Zimmerman a month or two before the election (repeating the original media version of what happened and ignoring anything proven in the trial).

We will probably hear a lot about "voter suppression" claims just before the election as well. The white supremacists are about to take over, and the Democrats are the only ones who can stop it! (Talking points courtesy of the SDS or the SPLC).

Barack Obama’s presidency is failing. Despite what he and his cheerleaders in the press think, he is still losing the argument over ObamaCare... a lot of the public... never liked the program much to begin with, and now that they know what’s in it, they like it even less... foreign policy is spinning out of control in all directions. So the left is doing what they always do when their policies fail: make everything about race... Hence a long article by Jonathan Chait in New York magazine informing us that yes, Obama’s term in office was really about race all along...

And when you refer to him as a POS you must apologize to excrement.

Maybe if the Obungler was a white guy, he would have been impeached by now. Who knows for sure?

okay I will not offend living skunks. Smells like the high potent medical marijuana that has an odor of a skunk. That smells like a skunk that has been hit on the highway or interstate. Stinky!
