White guilt put him in the White House. Many whites felt great voting for a black guy, and thought it said something great about them as individuals and about the country.

BINGO!

I spend a lot of time in Oregon which is 95% white. The self satisfaction (white guilt) of Obama support was, as an easterner, palpable and nauseating. But of course the Media effort of resentment against GWB also was a major factor. The supposed educated people in Oregon actually swallow the New York Times like candy.

This is REACTIONARY behavior. And the Left knows how to employ it.

And some of the most liberal states have the highest percentage white populations. And those states traditionally send some of the most liberal members of all to Congress. They can have their liberalism and eat it, too. They don't have to live it in their daily lives since their population lack the 'diversity' they claim to value so highly.
