I don't know what race you are, and I don't really care. He may overcompensate in his efforts to appear unthreatening, sure. But there's no evidence whatsoever that Obama sold anybody out any "faster" because of racial compensation. I agree with you that his performance on this issue is a major dissappointment, but let's be honest with ourselves, shall we? He is only behaving exactly the way he did in his early senate career right up to when the primaries got heated. The truth is, he's always been a little light on action on the hotbutton issues, and maybe took a left turn for show during the primaries. Now he's right back to caving with the rest of his colleagues. There's been a lot of overheated rhetoric on this site lately.
