Ah Yes, The Whole Post-Racial Thingy Is Working Out About As Well As The Whole Post-Partisan Thingy...

A political hack looks to a racial hack for help in improving his political racial hackery:

With his wavy bouffant and medallion necklaces, the Rev. Al Sharpton famously confronted government officials on behalf of black Americans. Now he has found a new role: telling black leaders to quiet their criticisms and give the government a chance.

President Barack Obama has turned to Mr. Sharpton in recent weeks to answer increasingly public criticism in the black community over his economic policy. Some black leaders are charging that the nation's first African-American president has failed to help black communities hit hard by the downturn, leaving party strategists worried that black Democrats will become dispirited and skip November's congressional elections.

This from the guy who was going to transcend race. It's good to see that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

They're mistaken. This nation's LAST black President is screwing that up...
