A Brit notices

Under Barack Obama, the phenomenon of class resentment is a live political issue.

With the Democrats it always is. He can talk about post-racial all he wants, but you'd be a fool to think he wouldn't play the race card when it became convenient. His educated enunciation and vocabulary can slide into folksy patois when he wants to remind people that he's an African American. True post-racial politics will come when the Democrats can't take black votes for granted, because African Americans will have wised up.
