Going on Fox and saying that he got the reaction he expected is both revealing and stupid. It revealed him for the cynical race-baiter that he is. It's stupid because he could have driven the point home with his base by saying that the reaction came as a surprise. He could have said that his message and his goals are good for the poor and disadvantaged and was shocked to learn that his audience couldn't grasp that.

Hi John,
Racism is 96% of blacks currently polling that they'd vote for Obama over Romney. Ignoring that and accusing anything the GOP or Romney is doing of being racist (or being race baiting) is either high hypocrisy or dismal stupidity. Take your pick (however being a self-defined liberal these days pretty much conveys a little from column A and a little from column B anyways).
