I wonder if Bammy is "clearing the field" (old Chicago trick) of black leaders so that when he is either forced out/voted out, he can become THE spokesman for black people in his post-White House career. He sees how lucrative the race pimping business can be and he wants to be the Big Kahuna.

If you look ahead to 2012 this might be a factor.

I see your point! 0bama would be the perfect Big Kahuna of Race Pimping!
