get out the racist vote
am i the only one who feels like "white hardworking americans" is a codeword for "racists"? i feel like there's an unspoken acceptance of racism by the candidates that it will benefit. personally, i'd like to see all the candidates say "i don't want your vote if you don't want to see obama in office because he's black. if you are such an ignorant person, you couldn't possibly be informed enough about politics that you should be voting."

Google this: "hardworking white americans" -clinton -obama -hillary

You will see that this has been a racially-charged phrase long before Hillary Clinton "coined" it.
