Interesting questions, matvarns, but it's just not his style for a couple of reasons. He's much smarter than Wolfson/ Penn and so he will be happy to furnish the rope for HRC to hang herself. Also, he's smart and experienced enough re: the lingering racism in the US to know it would make him look uppity and he'd end up alienating independents. Obama's strategy is Taekwondo, not Karate.

Yes, we've still got a lot of racists. (none / 0)

But would those who would consider Obama "uppity" if he took an assertive stance vote for him anyway?  Or might he be more likely to attract some Nascar dads who really don't have any racist leanings but who do respect strength?

Evening Star, I live in the solar plexus of NASCAR country and I don't see a lot of NASCAR dads who are at all interested in Obama 'round here. In my experience, and to totally stereotype them some more, haha, they tend to vote AGAINST a candidate they despise rather than FOR a candidate they respect.
