    Oh the old “how dare you call yourself Black if you don’t vote for Barack” strategy, how unique. And Obama’s worried about the GOP using his race against him, yet has no problem using the race card himself to court votes. Amazing.

    Democratics have been using black voters for years. Why stop now?

    Obama’s formula for energizing blacks while appealing to whites relies in part on demonstrating independence from the more militant traditions of black politics and using rhetoric that spans race. He has opposed monetary reparations for descendants of slaves, for example. And he has said that he does not think his daughters should benefit from affirmative action, because they have had a “pretty good deal,” and he has expressed openness to programs that could help disadvantaged whites, Latinos and women.

    Yeah, this looks just like the typical race-baiting strategy that GreyGhost is referring to.

    MrGreyGhost : “how dare you call yourself Black if you don’t vote for Barack”

    No, that’s not what the OBAMA campaign is saying . His campaign is saying…

    “How dare you stay out of the political process when your vote can make a difference for CHANGE.”

    OBAMA is “the possible” and a CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN.

    Oliver:
    Turdblossom is stepping in it again today with his “Country Club” remark. I think Rove is just jealous because most of the country club set makes fun of him(or would he if he wasn’t Bush’s brain).
