I got an email this afternoon telling me about this new Obama campaign tactic.

How is this ok in America today?

How is this not racist? What do you supposed would happen if Romney announced a “White Americans for Romney”?

He’d be crucified yet it’s perfectly acceptable for Obama?

Please explain to me why this is ok for a black president but no white in this country could ever do this?

If you're gonna call it "playing the race card" when a politician is courting various groups in society, then please do so with *everybody*. It will mean that you have an unpayed full time job from now on, but hey, your call.

If you're gonna call it that just because the prez is black, then I call that hypocrisy.
