I think the answer to that question is a big “Hell yeah he would.”

Roger Clegg at PJ Media worries that despite all his talk of rejecting identity politics, a President Obama would “embrace racial preferences and set-asides, and reject efforts to promote assimilation.”

I’m nervous, though, about the fact that the candidate is a Democrat, and beholden to a party and special interests whose stock in trade is the identity politics and grievance mongering that are anathema to E pluribus unum. And it is not all clear that, once president, Obama himself will really want to be other than the conventional liberal that, when all is said and done, he is—meaning that he will embrace racial preferences and set-asides, and reject efforts to promote assimilation.

Does anybody out there really believe that this isn’t true? Really?

Obama has remained at a separatist, angry, white-hating, white-blaming church for 20-years — despite the lie that he’s “profoundly disturbed” by the hate of the Rev. Wright. There is no way that Michelle Obama lets Barack Obama not “embrace racial preferences and set asides” (for blacks, that is…you Mexicans are on your own). It’s her shtick.
