Barack Obama has killed the suspense for the general election. He knows exactly how the Republicans are going to run against him. They’re going to run on race and fear. Just because they haven’t yet, and couldn’t possibly hope to do so as well as his party’s primary, doesn’t mean a thing. What’s important is that they will…just wait. In the meantime, Obama will show everyone what’s instore with a sneak peak on the race issue.

“We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run,” Mr. Obama said. “They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?” 

Continuing in a mocking tone, which he seldom shows in public, “He’s got a feisty wife.”Mr. Obama went on, “We know the strategy because they’ve already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn’t moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us.”

Thank you Barack for the heads-up. Thank you for getting the race thing out there first before the evil white Republicans could. And by the way, we know your black (though your mother is white) you’ve made that clear enough for us. Now who is running on the ‘race’ thing and the fear factor?
