In Front Page Magazine, Phyllis Chesler opines:
Have we really reached the point that whom we elect to the Oval Office depends upon race and gender?
Is white guilt that powerful a force?
Is gender correctness that powerful a force?
Maybe.
When Obama was elected in 2008, many Americans rejoiced, "We are living in an unprecedented time!"
Of course, electing an African-American President was indeed unprecedented for America. There is no denying that fact.
But what tide has been set in motion with this idea of "We must continue with unprecedented times"? Shouldn't political platform be the deciding factor for voters and not race and gender?
When I first read Chesler's essay, I thought to myself, "She's way off base." But the longer I think about what she has written, the more I think that she has a valid point.
Something has gone very wrong with the American electorate. We have lost sight of what deciding upon a political leader should mean.

Saw this over at Breitbart, citing New York Magazine, and burst into the laugh of the lunatic: Mitt Romney’s plan of blatantly lying about President Obama’s “you didn’t build that” speech is clearly drawing blood. But what makes the attack work...

Obama For Another Four Years?
In Front Page Magazine, Phyllis Chesler opines:
President Obama’s election is due, in part, to the desire among many American liberals and leftists to be seen as “atoning” for the sin of racism and the crimes of slavery. The fact that Obama is bi-racial—his mother was white—matters little since he looks like an African-American. Indeed, the President’s own writing focuses on his African, Muslim roots, especially because his Kenyan father abandoned both him and his mother.Read the rest HERE.
In an era of symbolic identity politics and affirmative action, only one kind of candidate could trump Obama’s credentials and that would be an African-American woman....

Given the extraordinary pathology of Bush Derangement Syndrome, and short of Armeggedon, I do not believe that enough Americans will, without doubt, elect another white male Republican. No matter what his politics may be, he himself will be seen as retrograde, anti-woman, anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion, pro-racism, pro-war and as both dull and evil. The media, combined with Soros and Saudi monies and our intelligentsia have poisoned the minds of millions....
