And he wonders why he's losing all the independents that got him elected? :dunno:

How is he playing the race card?? He is speaking to a congressional caucus..the same one Clinton addressed and other Demos have irrespective of race since the caucus' inception. I imagine he will be telling EVERY Demo caucus to do the exact same thing he did in this speech.


If Obama is losing independents it's because of all the malarkey and spin they're too lazy to wade through in order to know the truth.

This just more nonsense...you claim he's playing the race card by addressing a Demo caucus regarding upcoming elections???

It looks to me like he's just canvassing for votes as any politician would. :dunno: Granted, he is speaking at The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Inc.'s Annual Legislative Conference Phoenix Awards Dinner (TCBCFIALCPAD for short). Wouldn't it be in poor taste not to have any African-Americans there? You really can't blame him for speaking to the target audience.

this should come as no surprise to anyone!

I'm shocked to see shameless politicking going on here. Shocked I tell you. On the other hand, this is no worse than the crap peddled at the "Values Voter" Summit late in the week.

I thought this was about Yu-Gi-Oh.

I summon "Breath of the Jackass" to defeat your "Kabal Ghoul" or shit wait I thought this was a magic the gathering thread...damnit!

I fail to see where the race card (so&so is doing such&such because I'm [insert ethnicity here]) is in the link you posted.

It would have been a worse idea if he would not take action to counter those racist, bigot Teabaggers. In my opinion.

It feels good I am no US American right now, the fear of getting people like Palin, McCain and the new banshee with their folk must fuck up the place.

Is race card trump?

I wouldn't worry much about McCain -- he's a no good commie RINO.

His speech acknowledged what pollsters have been warning Democrats for months — that blacks are among the key Democratic groups who right now seem unlikely to turn out in large numbers in November.

Given the venue and the people he was addressing and given the piece of information quoted above, is asking for those who specifically work in these demographics to go out canvassing for votes from those least likely to bother, not what he was supposed to be doing as the leader of his party?

This just seems like fishing for controversy....

Race Baiting FAIL.
