Yes, I know, I’m shocked, too, by the fact that the Washington Post endorses Obama<\/a> for President this election year. But the way that they do it should shame all Americans. The guilt-ridden white liberals at the Post are trying to make the election about race again. In an accompanying article<\/a> to their endorsement in the editorial section, they report that the election polling is breaking down along ethnic lines;<\/p>\n

The slippage among whites is something of a setback for Obama, who campaigned on bridging the racial divide in his election and has sought to minimize rifts that have arisen in his presidency. Although Democrats typically win minorities and fare worse among white voters than their Republican rivals, Obama outpaced previous losing Democratic candidates with both groups.<\/p>\n

Less than two weeks before the election, the evidence suggests that a much more sharply divided country will head to the polls.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, of course, liberal bomb thrower, Eugene Robinson<\/a>, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2009 for cutting and pasting Obama campaign literature to the pages of the Post doesn’t mince words trying to bring the guilt-ridden liberals back into the fold;<\/p>\n

It is too simplistic to conclude that demography equals destiny. Both men are being sincere when they vow to serve the interests of all Americans. But it would be disingenuous to pretend not to notice the obvious cleavage between those who have long held power in this society and those who are beginning to attain it.<\/p>\n

When Republicans vow to \u201ctake back our country,\u201d they never say from whom. But we can guess.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Four years ago, we asked ourselves whether the nation would ever elect a black president. The question was front and center. Every time we see the president and his family walk across the White House lawn to board Marine One, we\u2019re reminded of the answer.<\/p>\n

The intensity of the opposition to Obama has less to do with who he is than with the changes in U.S. society he not only represents but incarnates. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, I’ve not voted for many more white people than others for the very same reasons I’m voting against Obama, so explain that, Washington Post. And since it seems that a larger percentage of Blacks are going to be voting against the white guy, maybe you liberals should look at that with a less-jaundiced eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
