Obama seeks to 'reconnect...young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women' for 2010

Obama seeks to 'reconnect...young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women' for 2010 - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com
"The Democratic National Committee this morning released this clip of the president rallying the troops, if rather coolly, for 2010. Obama's express goal: 'reconnecting' with the voters who voted for the first time in 2008, but who may not plan to vote in the lower-profile Congressional elections this year.

Obama speaks with unusual demographic frankness about his coalition in his appeal to 'young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again.'"

White males need not apply?

Imagine Mitch McConnell's comparable "speech".... "We want to reconnect with seniors, euro-Americans and of course, our manly-Americans, who all stand tall to propel our victory in 2010."

Why, in America today, is Obama be able to say what he said and a republican would be exoriated if he said the above?
