Did President Obama really mean whites when he called his opponents the “enemy?” Or was he “just” referring to Republicans?
Observers all across the political spectrum have asked this question as America went to the polls under a cloud of racial insults and overt black mobilization by Obama.
A week ago, Obama was speaking in an interview with Univision radio in which he sought to persuade Hispanics to vote for Democratic candidates instead of Republicans.
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of, ‘we’re going to punish our enemies and we’re going to reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder,” Obama said.
