well in your post above you compare obama's grandma comments with hillary's "working, hard-working Americans, white Americans" comments. It seems to me that the former was a (ham-fisted) go at inclusiveness and the latter either the outcome of being very tired indeed, or outright offensiveness. Or perhaps just a mere 'misspeak'.
It would be ridiculous not to talk about demographics and race, which is what you say some obama supporters want, but hillary appears to be equating 'white' with 'hard-working', and indeed with 'American'. Can't you see how and why people are antsy about this?
inclusiveness totally wrong word, but what I mean is that he was making an attempt to talk about thorny racial issues more or less head-on. hillary was supposed to be talking about demographic and voting and made it sound like unsophisticated dog-whistling.
