The very basis of Barack Obama's entire political career has been the assertion that he is one of the first examples of a post-racial politician.
Obama consciously eschewed the notion that his presidency was notable for the triumph of a black politician and focused, instead, on what it said about the irrelevance of race to the political process.
When the Clintons sought to inject race into the election by harping on the polarization of black support for Obama and likening his triumph in the South Carolina primary to that of Jesse Jackson, the Obama supporters cried foul and accused the former first couple of injecting race into the contest.
Now, Obama is letting his supporters strip away his image of a post-racial president by their increasingly racial rhetoric and his support for radical black activists.
Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to prosecute the new Black Panther members so obviously guilty of racial intimidation at the Philadelphia polling places in 2008 is of a piece with the NAACP's loud denunciation of the tea party movement as racists, likening it to the White Citizens Councils of the segregationist past.
And the Obama administration's decision to sue to overturn the Arizona immigration law despite the fact that Americans approve of the statute, and disapprove of the lawsuit to void it, by 59-28 is an attempt to foundation his appeal to Latino voters in racial terms.
In a bid to increase enthusiasm and, therefore, turnout among minority voters, Barack Obama is sacrificing his white support and his non-racial image.
Already, the results of this disastrous strategy are apparent. The latest FoxNews/Opinion Dynamics survey shows that his job approval among Democrats has fallen from 84 percent two weeks ago to a mere 76 percent today.

This is good news? ;-)
Morris has it wrong. He thought Hussein said post-racial butit was really post-Anglo.
remember obozo’s indictment of the white cop?
he’s a communist/marxist/islamicist using race to indict and destroy america.
Any administration that operates by the rules of Saul Alinsky (don’t let a crisis go to waste), will never surrender the race card. It’s considered the highest trump.
The GOP always knew he was a World Class Race Baiter, but the media’s constant presentation created the myth of him being this “post racial” type.
Now, unfortunately for America, there is clear, indisputable, and compelling data and evidence to the fact that he’s his the biggest racial pimp to ever hold office.
Because of the Media now America will have to endure things like Holder’s “Reverse Sheet” Policy where the Government uses its apparatus to systematically apply racism towards white people.

How many in the upper levels of the GOP knew who was pulling the Fuhrer’s strings and how far back the plot to destroy our country was conceived? Silence at all levels seems very suspicious as well as sinister, don’t ya think?
I say he should “stay the course” and double down if
possible.
There are not enough mind-numb black muslim gay child killing communists in this country to propagate his policies or the democrats in general.

I don’t know that this is true. Seems from early days on Obama has been sacrificing his white support and increasingly since then.
Obama has done more to hurt the black population than anyone we know. I believe that it will be a long time before people of this country will trust a black person in the Oval office again. Look at the people surrounding the President that are black that are crooks of the first order. Look at how he, or his people, have allowed black organizations break our laws and not be held accountable.
The TV and news media will support him 1005 no matter what. Until Americans cancel sat and cable TV then it is over. He is in control. Forget Fox News because of the 7% or more Saudi ownership. Murdoch was behind the Ilamification of the UK by back Bliar to the hilt.
Seniors and baby boomers who voted for this sure screwed themselves and did younger folks.
He really hates old white people because most are smarter than younger white people.
Zero knows he is a one-hit wonder. He is trying to accomplish the maximum amount of damage in the time he has.
How can we wake up 1/3 of America that have no brains and live on government handouts.
Obama is post-AMERICAN.
Everything you point out is true, of course, but probably fewer than 10% of voters know these facts. Americans are, by and large, willfully ignorant of the abuses by politicians and are snookered time and again by demagogues promising the moon. Obama’s nature was out there during the election for all to see if you were inclined to look and read.
76% doesn’t sound so ‘mere’ to me.
