By the end of this campaign, being called a racist will be about the same as being called a nazi. It won't mean anything. Intelligent people already realize it's not a real charge, it's just meant to shut the other side up, and it's not working any longer. The more Obama's camp tries to foster the idea that any criticism of him must be racist, the less impact the charge will have. He's a presidential candidate. It's fair game to critize him. It's fair game to criticize him unfairly, as has happened to GW Bush, Clinton, Kerry, Dole, GHW Bush, Mondale, Dukakis, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon... It ain't tiddlywinks he's playing, and everyone knows it.
The more he complains about the heat, the less presidential he looks. And the more he tries to hide behind his skin color, the less credibility "racism" will have.
Really, I can't think of a better service he could provide for the country than to rid us of the last veistiges of black victimhood. I don't think that's what meant by be a post-racial candidate, but it looks like what he's going to do.
