I saw the race card finally played on ABC News tonight. I feel it's going to backfire on those using it. ABC did say that President Obama was trying to avoid being dragged into it, though.

Quite a bit of white America was willing to vote for Barack Obama because they felt he could take the country past the old racial divides that have been going on for centuries. They admired his deft handling of the Rev. Wright controversy, and figured that he was indeed an agent of change for racial reconciliation.

Those who look for racism in every possible opposition to the President from those to his right risk sending the folks in the middle into the arms of the right wing.
