Maybe I misinterpreted but when you state "we should call it an "Obama card" instead of a "race card", it makes it seem that Obama always plays the race card, something I have never seen. Other people sometimes talk about race with Obama but when the hell has he really used it? I have no idea where that came from so it I assumed you were just trying to get a reaction out of people, hence trolling.

Actually I can't think of a time that he ever played a race card, other than his associations with some of the radical political players during the run up to the election. I think he has done a really good job of down playing race issues. We will see, the next election is just around the corner. I was stating what I believe to be an honest observation that now if anyone is critical of him in any manner his supporters, usually other people of color, will throw it down as the source of the root cause of why people disagree with him and that is total bullshit.
