President Obama, It's Time To Pull The Race Card

And he's the only guy who can do it.

The first black president is facing the prospect of losing his major domestic agenda item. Not only will he look weak and inept, but so will his majority party. Seeing as the majority party is not going to be interested in taking the blame for that going into the mid-term elections, it will fall to him. And the storyline that is developing is that white racism has hamstrung the nation’s first black president...

That’s why it is time for the president to rise above his own shortcomings and political agenda, and do something for the nation. At some point in the not-too-distant future, whether his health-care plan continues to crash and burn or is resurrected in a new figleaf evolution, the president needs tell the nation that it is OK to disagree with him, that political dissent and even anger do not equal racism.

The racism charge has become the Democrat's excuse for a losing position on a loser argument, poorly constructed, rushed and pushed in a blatant attempt to slide it by the American people. Faced with the prospect of getting their asses handed to them at the ballot box, congressional democrats are perfectly willing to let Obama take the hit instead. And the reason he can't persuade Americans to go along with this nonsense, according to them and their partners in the "FromageGate media", is because he's a black man.

Obama can either accept this weak excuse as cover for his lousy performance or man up and refute it. Nobody else can shut it down. It's entirely up to him.

It's a good piece, check out the whole thing.
