[Hoot Gibson]

I Obama and his campaign advisers (a/k/a his White House staff) are smart, and there is precious little evidence of that being the case, he will get out in front on this issue before a Republican candidate calls him out on this issue and demands to know where the Beer Summit is for the many white victims of racism.

This would be a great opportunity for Herman Cain to toss Obama from the frying pan to the fire by doing just that. I think that Cain knows that Obama has poisoned the well for black presidential candidates for years to come, but if he makes a good showing in a few primaries, he will make a very attractive candidate for a cabinet position such as the Secretary of Commerce or Treasury Secretary.

Obama has to regain the support of a bigger portion of the white electorate or he will go down as a failed, one-term president. The longer he remains silent, the more likely that his support among whites will continue to decrease until all that is left is the hard core far left wingers of his party.
