Obama’s New Default – The Obama Code

In Obama's world, we know that "pickup trucks" and driving them is code. Or, at least, that is what we are led to believe. This I was discussing with brother Tim. And as we explored the politics of the day, we happened upon something truly revolting.

If pickup trucks are some sort of badge of honor - code - for group identification promoting racism against Blacks on behalf of Whites, then is it fair to consider the word "bankers" and what Obama really means when he says that they are the cause of our current economic woes? And what does he mean by sanctioning them? Punishing them?

If I am given to understand it right, it would appear that Obama is embarking on the darkest, most maleficent of all ruses... pinning our current failures on one group of people. A group of people who have seen this sort of thing before. Again and again.

I am not comfortable with this code-speak that encourages ultimately - and can only lead to - out and out hostility toward "bankers."

How far will Obama push his new populist PR campaign?

But this is a tired and worn (though effective) approach - despicable - when it comes time to rally, vilify - and the vilification of Bush is played out - so, the truly disgusting create another enemy to "place blame upon." I am not at all comfortable with this sort of hatred.
