ED DRISCOLL: They told me that if I voted John McCain, I’d be electing a president so polarizing, that he would tell half the country “they can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back” — and they were right!

Yeah, like I said before, his rhetoric is sounding pretty racially-charged these days for a “post-racial President.” What’s his 2012 slogan going to be? “Get Whitey — Vote Obama?” At this rate, yeah. . . .

UPDATE: Obama to Kids: Stop the Bullying; Obama to Latinos: Punish Your Enemies. “We could take this seriously if his thugs from the unions didn’t casually go around beating up people.” Well, we can take the “punish your enemies” seriously. He clearly means that.

ANOTHER UPDATE: “We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.”

This kind of inflammatory rhetoric is dangerous. I don’t think we’ve ever seen its like from a sitting President.

And reader Jeff Johnson emails: “I’m surprised Obama hasn’t gone full Conan with respect to this election: (What is best in life?): ‘To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.'”
