I don't think that it is part of the plan, but I do believe that Obama failed to expend any political capital to address many of the factors leading to income inequality; including legislation overcoming barriers to union organizing and resumption of a more progressive tax structure.

The Right(tm), hates Obama because he represents what frightens them.

Considering that, I perceive his race as being the proverbial cherry on top but can't imagine the terrified particularly caring for him were he the whitest of breads.

Agreed but that cherry has made it abundantly clear to the nation that there is something disgusting at the heart of the GOP base and it looks like the KKK. They may not put on pointy white hats and soiled bedsheets anymore but that shit is alive and well in the Tea Drenched.

I think what frightens, angers, and stokes their hate as much as anything (besides the fact that a Kenyan anti-colonialist is the current boss), is that he represents the likelihood that they will be losing their 7th of the last 8 popular presidential votes in 2016.

They let the Teabaggers load the candidate clown car with extremists again, that'll happen and they know it.

Except in the backwater congressional clown car districts full of electorate clowns where a good old American racist religious bigot candidate clown can feel right at home.

When I'm king...no more US House and the only thing state governments will have the authority to do is arrange for parades, celebrations, and cheerleader competitions.

Odd. Saying goes that Libs that get mugged become Conservatives, Conservatives unjustly arrested become Libs.

Well PIO back home I was a member of the Joe Clark Conservative Party. When my MP died unexpectedly from cancer they must have see our correspondence and called my ex-wife to see if I would run for the seat.

If you can find a real conservative in the GOP it would verge on a miracle.
