I am wondering how they will play this up before the elections.
You know *how* they will play it. You are wondering how far they will go in playing this up (not hard to guess), and how effective the race warfare will be this time around. Well, it will solidify 97% of the black vote to the DemocRats. Beyond that is anyone's guess.
My circle of liberal acquaintances is rather sparse, I quit screwing with them some years ago, but none of the white libs I know will ever turn on Obozo. America can burn in Hell before any of them will profess to picking a half white man with dark skin for President based on his skin color and no clue on his qualifications.
