Just as Barack Obama has jettisoned Reverend Wright, federally funded campaign financing - he is now getting rid of the unity theme and playing the race card.
According to Lynn Sweet's blog at the Chicago Sun-Times, Obama told the gathering at a Florida fundraiser that the Republicans would go after him because he is black.
What is ironic is that Barack Obama is biracial - black and white - and ran as a person who transcends race. But now he seems to be using race, playing the race card to appear victimized - like Hillary.
Obama said this at a fundraiser at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center in Jacksonville where the 600 "small donors" we've heard so much about paid between $300 - $2,300 to attend at the festivities.

“The choice is clear. Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy. We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?
He’s got a feisty wife.”
(big cheer).
“We know the strategy because they’ve already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn’t moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us.”
