“This hope is shared by many whites as well, liberal and conservative (let’s face it — the cohort of black conservatives thinking about voting for Obama isn’t likely to tip the election). The premise underlying it is that a black president may be more effective in using the bully pulpit to address certain issues. Just as a Democrat Clinton could sign welfare-reform legislation, and foreign-policy hawk Nixon could go to China, a black president may be able to touch what are third rails for a white president. A glimpse of that possibility was on display on Father’s Day, when Obama addressed (albeit rather tepidly) the issue of absent black fathers.”

This hope is BEYOND phony and false.

Obama’s in with the race hustlers. He will set BACK race relations due to his relationship with extremists like Wright and others.

This is more Obamedia PIFFLE.

I should amend my comment to say that the columnist makes similar points. This “Obama will heal our racial divisions” is not what the columnists are saying but what Obama campaign and media are peddling. Its Koolaid drinking nonsense.

And here I thought it was because Barack Obama grew up with an absent ARAB father. Who knew this issue meant something to him because of skin color and not because he came from a broken home?
