He said white Americans had taken a chance on Mr. Obama and that he not only underperformed but racialized the presidency in ways that many voters didn’t expect.

opinion jasonrileywsj HE played the race card? Let's see.. -birtherism -allegations of secretly being a Muslim -allegations of Michelle being a man -rise of the Tea Party Etc All these op-eds are pure garbage.
