Even before this weeks economic indicators, the Obama campaign had signaled that it would do anything to distract voters from the economic malaise of Obamanomics. After todays jobs report, that job will become tougher but dont expect Team Obama to change their strategy. In fact, as Charles Krauthammer rightly observes, Barack Obama and his administration has spent much of its time shaping the battlefield for the most divisive presidential election in history:

Even before this weeks economic indicators, the Obama campaign had signaled that it would do anything to distract voters from the economic malaise of Obamanomics. After todays jobs report, that job will become tougher but dont expect Team Obama to change their strategy. In fact, as Charles Krauthammer rightly observes, Barack Obama and his administration has spent much of its time shaping the battlefield for the most divisive presidential election in history:
The entire Obama campaign is a slice-and-dice operation, pandering to one group after another, particularly those that elected Obama in 2008 blacks, Hispanics, women, young people and for whom the thrill is now gone.
What to do? Try fear. Create division, stir resentment, by whatever means necessary bogus court challenges, dead-end Senate bills and a forest of straw men.
Why else would the Justice Department challenge the photo ID law in Texas? To charge Republicans with seeking to disenfranchise Hispanics and blacks, of course. But in 2008 the Supreme Court upheld a similar law from Indiana. And it wasnt close: 6 to 3, the majority including the venerated liberal John Paul Stevens.
Moreover, photo IDs were recommended by the 2005 Commission on Federal Election Reform, co-chaired by Jimmy Carter. And you surely cant get into the attorney generals building without one. Are Stevens, Carter and Eric Holder anti-Hispanic and anti-black?
The ethnic bases covered, we proceed to the war on women. It sprang to public notice when a 30-year-old student at an elite law school (starting private-sector salary upon graduation: $160,000) was denied the inalienable right to have the rest of the citizenry (as co-insured and/or taxpayers median household income: $52,000) pay for her contraception.
Despite a temporary setback Hilary Rosens hastily surrendered war on moms Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will resume the battle with a Paycheck Fairness Act that practically encourages frivolous lawsuits and has zero chance of passage.
