On Thursday's broadcast of "Hardball," host Chris Matthews discussed a path to victory for a second Obama term: being afraid to kick out the black guy.
Matthews wondered if there would be "a reluctance on the part of the voters and the political community" about "dumping the first African-American president."
Chris Matthews: "Let me ask you about something which is not in the polling, but I want you as experts -- Barack Obama is the first African-American president, okay. Is there going to be a reluctance on the part of the voters and the political community that talks politics as we get into November about dumping the first African-American president? Is there going to be something that just wretches people? 'Wait a minute here, this guy is going to knock out the first guy who got aboard?"

Yes, let's drive the country, and by extension the Free World, off the cliff just so we don't look like racists.
Is this what we are reduced to? Talk about racist-- we don't dare hold Obama to objective performance standards.< / sarcasm>

That was a helluva reason to vote for this disaster, eh Chrissy?
His race obsession continues.
To: i88schwartz
He’s always going to be the first (half) black president, no matter whether he’s reelected or not. I’d like to make him go down in history twice-over for being the first black one term president.

Sounds like the Libs are becoming apprehensive that Ye Ole Race Card might not work like it did in 2008. All that White Guilt might have dissipated enough to cause The One to lose.

It would happen sooner or later. Why not be proactive and make it sooner?

Sissy's thrill up his leg is obsessed with other body parts, not Obama’s skin.
To: i88schwartz
Obama is going to have to grow up. His father dumped him; a few years later his step father rejected him and his mother abandoned him.
So all those years.. and it's time that Obama faced it -- he is not and never was a genius, messianic personality. That is not why no one ever said No! They were not in awe.
They felt sorry for him and because he was tending left and he was identifying black.. they never said no because they were afraid of being called racist.
And then to compound problems he was raised as a Marxist-Alinsky spoiled brat.
For Obama's own good we need to elect someone new.

If Barry starts to fall behind in the polls, the race baiting is going to be epic.
