Why Obama’s Presidency Has to Be All About Race Now

Barack Obama’s presidency is failing.

Despite what he and his cheerleaders in the press think, he is still losing the argument over ObamaCare. The program has posted a few non-catastrophic enrollment numbers lately, but a lot of the public has already made up their minds. They never liked the program much to begin with, and now that they know what’s in it, they like it even less. The economic recovery, such as it is, continues to be slow, painful, and jobless. The president’s foreign policy is spinning out of control in all directions.

So the left is doing what they always do when their policies fail: make everything about race, instead. If the Obama presidency itself is what’s failing, then his whole presidency—the one that was supposed to usher in a post-racial era—must be all about race, too.

Hence a long article by Jonathan Chait in New York magazine informing us that yes, Obama’s term in office was really about race all along: “if you…set out to write a social history of the Obama years, one that captured the day-to-day experience of political life, you would find that race has saturated everything as perhaps never before.”

It was not so much about race as it was for him being a fraud and liar.

10:08, I totally agree. First of all, he's only 6% black and 50% white, so I don't know how he can claim anything but a multi-racial candidate to begin with. Obama was illegal to begin with as well. He had ZERO skills to qualify him as a president. And, his policies are total failures. So, what else does he have but to call everyone a racist if his policies are failures and he looks like the worst president in the history of American culture and an idiot? He's got nothing but the race card. What is even more amazing to me is that the blacks have lost more under his leadership in many ways(especially in the inner cities) than any other president of the last 100 years.

If Obama applied for or accepted any form of state or federal aid while in college as a foreign student he is a felon. Has anyone addressed this issue?
