Bill Clinton and the Race Card

The New Yorker: Interesting article about how Bill Clinton is on the road these days, the answer on the whole not good, he seems from reading the article to be using the race card is non so subtle way. The article reports that in PA he stated that Hillary was in the race for " People like you. The phrase hung in the air and the room quieted. Clinton didn’t say what the people who voted for Obama were like, but the suggestion was that they were somehow different. " The way Bill Clinton is going he will be seen as a less subtle George Wallace, the man that was seen as the first black President will have to to eat a lot o humble pie if Obama wins, can you see Obama using Clinton on diplomatic missions, after the the Clinton Machine has used the race card on Obama. Obama has not helped with the lack of reaction to his Pastor but the Clinton Machine has shown that it will use the African - American vote when it is needed but when its a threat it will turn on them, in the end its about the Clintons, that is a fact of politics.
