At a Washington fundraiser Monday night, President Obama subtly played the race card, suggesting that Republican presidential candidates would deny people opportunity based on the color of their skin.
Here’s what the president said during the event before what a press pool reporter described as “an enthusiastic crowd of young supporters in ballroom of Capital Hilton Hotel.”
Everything we fought for during the last election is at stake in this election. The very core of what this country stands for is on the line — the basic promise that no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, this is a place where you could make it if you try. The notion that we’re all in this together, that we look out for one another — that’s at stake in this election. Don’t take my word for it. Watch some of these debates that have been going on up in New Hampshire.
The phrase “no matter what you look like” is a clear reference to race. Obama is indicating that if he loses the election, opportunity for those who are a certain color or ethnicity will be denied. He completes the thought by pointing to the debates in New Hampshire, associating the Republican candidates with the possibility of racial or ethnic discrimination.

Elected in 2008 on a "hope and change" mantra and vowing an end to bitter partisan politics, President Barack Obama admitted in remarks released Sunday that he had failed to close the divide.
"Washington feels as broken as it did four years ago," Obama said in an interview with CBS
Having struggled to break out of the stalemate, Obama said the fact that he hadn't "been able to change the atmosphere here in Washington to reflect the decency and common sense of ordinary people" frustrated him.edit on 15-7-2012 by daaskapital because: link

-_- Clearly you are nitpicking at what he said. That statement is at the core of how America is supposed to be. Are you also going to nitpick at 'no matter where you're from' to mean people from Hawii? Come on now. Also, hes not attacking religious freedom, the religious want special treatment and hes not going for it. But I bet if it were Muslims instead of Catholics you would be cool with what he was doing. The class warfare statement was just vague. You could mean anything by that, feel free to expand on that.
