If you won’t vote for Obama, it is because of your racism – so says Joe Biden.

"Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America," the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said at a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday evening. "So we need to respond. We need to respond at the moment, immediately, not wait, not hang around, not assume any of this won't stick."

In other words, it isn’t concern about experience, income redistribution, or national security that is prompting people to reject the most inexperienced presidential candidate since William Jennings Bryan (the first time around) – it is racism. Joe Biden, whose own history of racial and ethnic gaffes, has proclaimed it to be so.

And those of us concerned that the there might be a major international crisis provoked by foreign powers seeking to test a neophyte like Obama are simply listening to fear mongers – like Joe Biden. Such concerns are really just a code for race.

Ain’t it great that Barack Obama is a post-racial candidate running a campaign based upon issues?
