Ah they old "They didnt use the race card" theory. Actually they played it perfectly by accusing anyone who criticized him, of possibly having racial motives. The idea that race wasnt used by the Obama campaign is just missing the point. While there is no doubt that a certain segment of the population is racist, the blanket implication of racism in general terms that was done and continues to be done by the left is also deplorable.
