I just wonder, though, how much Obama will actually benefit from his on-going race hustle. Is he hoping to win over the 18 black people who DIDN’T vote for him in ‘08? Or the leftwing limo types who are already going to vote for him? To whom exactly is this crap directed, electorally speaking? Divide and conquer, perhaps, is the goal - keep the nation’s racial factions ripping at each other’s necks to divert attention from the real issues, namely, that Obama is a crude Stalinist clown who doesn’t have the chops to chair a county board, much less serve as president.
There are some black people that voted for him last time that are "underenthused" about getting out again. Partly, the novelty has worn off, primarily, he hasn't delivered "the big check" that they were expecting, and for some, the fact that whitey isn't in chains picking cotton is a big dissapointment.
And, there are the "white guilt" voters, not all of them lefty limolibs, just your run of the mill "gotta vote, it's my duty even though I'm uninformed" types whose "white guilt" has worn off.
