Yawn..it was already on TV..nothing is going to bring this guy down.
On tv when? Before tonight? It hasn’t had time to explode yet.
The Democrats will of course say Obama can’t be guilty by association, say he denounced it, whatever.
But that is missing the point of the video, and why it has been put out there (by the Clintons.)
Allow me to break it down for you (excuse me if I sound like Geraldine Ferraro here).
Barack Obama is, as Joe Biden put it “articulate and bright and clean.”
White voters feel comfortable with him.
He gets out on the stump and he acts white, talks white, even sort of looks white.
White voters can vote for Obama and feel good about themselves for doing it while not feeling threatened by Obama’s “blackness.”
The purpose of the video getting out is quite simply to “blacken” Obama.
It is what the Clintons have done several times, and judging on the latest exit polls, they have been fairly successful.
By exposing just how black the world Obama comes from really is, it undermines his appeal to white voters.
It gives them pause. It disconnects them from him.
There is no “not guilty by association” defense that can be made for it.
Because it appeals to something much deeper than that.
This is why we are seeing this video now.
And that is why this and more stuff like it will bring Obama down.
