At this point, it’s practically become a given that Obama is the superior candidate on economic matters.
And for those voters uncomfortable with the notion of a president who isn’t white, but unable to tolerate four more years of this economy, it’s a real gut check moment:
What, in the end, is really the most important thing to better the lives of you, your family and your fellow Americans?
Lest you thought I was crazy, I submit to you this post from Politico’s Ben Smith:
An Obama supporter, who canvassed for the candidate in the working-class, white Philadelphia neighborhood of Fishtown recently, sends over an account that, in various forms, I’ve heard a lot in recent weeks.
“What’s crazy is this,” he writes. “I was blown away by the outright racism, but these folks are f***ing undecided. They would call him a n—-r and mention how they don’t know what to do because of the economy.”
