Biden: And Did I Mention He’s Black?

Barack Obama famously played the “race card” back in June, using his sage predictive abilities to warn of an upcoming Republican scare campaign based on his race.

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?’

Barack the Magnificent’s crystal ball (or was it a Magic 8 Ball, probably more appropriate) must have been a little hazy.  It isn’t the mysterious “they” repeatedly using Obama’s race as an issue in the election. He obviously meant  “we.”

[Joe Biden, campaigning in North Carolina] particularly singled out the meaning of electing someone who is black.

“That will be a transformative event in American politics and internationally,” Biden said. “That all by itself will be significant.”

Identity politics.  If that’s the way they’re going with this, it will be very good for Republicans.  There’s no demographic victory for them on that basis in this election.
