Is the Obama Administration Playing the Race Card in Alabama? Maybe So!

In its fight with the state over immigration, President Obama’s Justice Department is treating Alabama as if it hasn’t changed since the ugly segregationist days of the 1960s.

Justice lawyers have asked federal courts to strike down Alabama’s tough, new immigration law that has sent Hispanics, presumably in America illegally, fleeing the state. And the department has also set up a hotline in Alabama to flush out reports of civil rights violations against immigrants, legal or illegal.

The hotline prompted Alabama attorney general Luther Strange, in an appearance on Fox News this week, to accuse the Justice Department of playing politics. “The hotline, to me, smacks of politics,” Strange said. “The Justice Department is stuck in the 1960s as it relates to Alabama. They overlook 50-plus years of fantastic progress.”

Strange didn’t use the phrase “race card.” But some Alabama officials suspect the Obama administration wants to exploit the state’s racial past and liken its treatment of Hispanic immigrants to the way blacks were treated decades ago. And by taking aggressive action, the president’s support among Hispanic voters might improve.

It the ONLY card he has left to play. His supporters don't have a record to back up their argument with anymore. Even though they still try, he's been in there long enough that the Bush argument just doesn't hold water anymore. His ONLY prayer is to push an emotional button and divide the country on something other than his job performance.

Too bad this country isn't smart enough and will swallow it hook line and sinker.
