Slate’s Mickey Kaus finds journalists already are admitting that the O man will likely get a free ride from the MSM, because they’ll be afraid to criticize a black man. Sounds exactly right to me. They painted themselves into a PC corner a long time ago and won’t be able to get out. My money says Obama cannot be elected president for a variety of very good reasons, all of them involving his politics and his junior status, and none of them involving his race. But his race also is one reason he won’t be elected. Presidents are elected by the most consistent voters, who are the older white folks, not the so-called youth vote (which has never been reliable yet) and they won’t be able to shake their old ingrown disdain for black people, which is strengthened daily by rap, gangsta behavior and the hip-hop culture in general. That Obama ain’t like that will be a relief to them but it won’t change their attitude. Just a fact, folks, live with it. Now, as these older white folks of my parent’s generation die off–and they are dying off every day–the dynamic will change. How it will change remains to be seen.
