Dowd: Obama WH not "Black Enough"

Maureen Dowd on what's wrong with the Obama Administration: "The president’s getting hurt real bad,” Clyburn told me. “He needs some black people around him.” He said Obama’s inner circle keeps “screwing up” on race: “Some people over there are not sensitive at all about race. They really feel that the extent to which he allows himself to talk about race would tend to pigeonhole him or cost him support, when a lot of people saw his election as a way to get the issue behind us. I don’t think people elected him to disengage on race. Just the opposite.”"

I love the left. They are so obsessed with race, gender and identity that for some of them it completely substitutes for sentient thought. Their problem is that race has run out of runway as an issue that can move the great majority of Americans. We are done with it, sick to death of the whining. If anything, the new racial cry is going to be: "what about working class whites". Our elites have used America's fundamental decency to cry diversity wolf, while just cementing the existing power elites in their power.

But the times, they are a changin'.
