76. It took me a while
BUT at around midnight last night I got it. The subtle surrogate driven code words being layed out by the Clintons are a trap: damned if you answer; damned if you don't. I have no idea how this tactic can be fought, but I do know that the idea was to cause an flurry of race-related commentary.

While the goal was to get Obama to respond so that TeamHillary could then respond with "he's just playing the race card," the means doesn't justify the goal of getting her elected. Of course Obama doesn't play this game because he doesn't believe in it. His every message stresses the need for us form an overwhelming force of community activism; that means all of us, or at least enough of us, to push the "common good."

I must tell you that I'm disgusted.
