Race Baiter-in Chief trying to sale his snake oil to the Black Community

Reaching out to a select group of individuals based on their race and their tendency to vote for Democrats? Yes, the race-baiter-in-chief is using race to push people to the polls for the November midterm elections. The Black community is the only based Obama has that are still buying his snake oil. Even as his policies cause unemployment in the Black communities to be at record highs, support for Obama is still high. Why?

This on top of the polls that show race relations have deteriorated under Obama's presidency. I wonder if it has anything to do with how the left constantly rants that it is racism that causes people to disagree with Obama's policies?

Now Obama is out playing the race card and telling the Black community to help him, and his party, remain in power. Can the Black community point to one area of improvement since Obama was elected? If not, why would they vote for any Democrat?

Politico reports:

PHILADELPHIA – The White House has hesitated to cast the midterm elections as a referendum on President Barack Obama, except when it comes to one key constituency: African-American voters.

As Obama has steadily increased his outreach to African American voters over the past month. With interviews and campaign stops targeted at the black community – "our community," as the president likes to say – he has sent a clear signal that this election is about him and his record.

"Two years ago you defied the conventional wisdom in Washington," Obama told thousands of screaming supporters Sunday at a campaign rally in a predominantly black area of Philadelphia. "They said, 'No you can't.'"

"'No you can't elect a skinny guy with a funny game to the presidency of the United States,'" he added. "What'd you say?"

"Yes we can!" the crowd, waving "VOTE 2010" signs featuring the Obama 2008 campaign logo, replied.

Yes we can...increase unemployment, poverty, bankruptcies, foreclosures and the use of food stamps. All are at record rates under Obama and his failed policies.

His voice hoarse, the president pleaded with the Philadelphia audience to defy Washington conventional wisdom again. Head to your beauty shops and your barber shops, and spread the word, he said. But most of all, he said, head to the polls three weeks from now, even though he is not on the ticket.

"They think, 'Oh Obama's name's not on the ballot, maybe they're not going to turn out," he said. "You've got to prove them wrong."

The message echoed the one Obama delivered last week at a historically black college in Maryland. "Don't make me look bad, now," he said, urging the mostly African-American audience to vote.

It's not African-Americans who are making Obama look bad. Obama is doing this perfectly fine himself.

In casting the election in such personal terms to black voters, Obama is making the kind of racial appeal - as understated as it is - that he has been reluctant to do in the past.

Can you smell the desperation of a typical liberal race-baiter?

It's unclear if his popularity among African Americans – 91 percent – will transfer to other candidates, particularly white ones, in November. With enthusiasm lagging among Democrats – especially African Americans, who surged to the polls to help elect the first black president in 2008– the appeals of Obama's coattails are being tested.
