The fact that even the drive-bys are having to cover this now says a lot---that it DOES have great resonance. As a poster above noted, Obama's "street cred" with white people was that he was, as the LA Times called him, the "magic Negro," someone who wasn't threatening to whites as a radical white-hater. He was the non-Jesse Jackson.

Or so it appeared. Now this makes him look like just another slick Al Sharpton. It won't sit well in white America.

This has profound impact on the country I love and on the world, so your mouth to God’s ears.

Anecdote about PT Barnum that illustrates my concern. He exhibited “500,000 natural and artificial curiosities from every corner of the globe,” and kept traffic moving through the museum with a sign that read, “This way to the egress” — “egress” was another word for exit, and Barnum’s patrons would keep following the signs until they were out of the museum.

If the drive-bys effectively turn on Obama and consistently report this for a long period of time, it may have some traction.

Otherwise, the sheeple will just go keep blindly following in their stupor - Iraq war bad, Republicans racist - made this up to discredit our hero, Bush lied and people died, . . . and considering his admitted charisma, liberal guilt, desire for change - regardless of where it leads, and dislike of Hillary will vote for him anyway.
