More Not-So-Subtle Racism

Obama easily won the African American vote in South Carolina - no surprise there - but to woo California Latinos, where he is running 3-to-1 behind Clinton, he is taking a very large risk: spotlighting his support for the red-hot issue of granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

It's a huge issue for Latinos, who want them. It's also a huge issue for the general electorate, which most vehemently does not. Obama's stand could come back to haunt him not only in a general election, but with other voters in California, where driver's licenses for illegal immigrants helped undo former Gov. Gray Davis.

Now, the Mexicans leap into the fray bigtime:

"Barack Obama has not backed down" on driver's licenses for undocumented people, said Federico Peña, a former Clinton administration Cabinet member and Denver mayor now supporting Obama. "I think when the Latino community hears Barack's position on such an important and controversial issue, they'll understand that his heart and his intellect is with Latino community."

There it is again... the "Latino" community. Racial division at it's most basic.

This presidential election is turning into nothing more than a huge minority push to elect anybody but "the man", or in other words, another white male.
