Who appointed Obama the arbiter of racism?

For 6 years now, Americans have had to put up with accusations from Obama and his Mini-Me, Eric Holder, that anyone who has a substantive policy disagreement with the Obama administration is motivated by racial animus. Now Obama's Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, is playing the race card outside America against Bibi Netanyahu:

“The United States and this administration is deeply concerned about rhetoric that seeks to marginalise Arab Israeli citizens,” Earnest said. “It undermines the values and democratic ideals that have been important to our democracy and an important part of what binds the United States and Israel together.” He added: “Rhetoric that seeks to marginalise one segment of their population is deeply concerning, it is divisive, and I can tell you that these are views the administration intends to communicate directly to the Israelis.”

And, true to form, the Obama administration's backers in the liberal media respond to Mr Obama's dog whistle and take up the chant. For example, the New York Times writes:

David Axelrod, President Obama’s former senior adviser, said Tuesday evening on Twitter that Mr. Netanyahu’s last-minute stand against a Palestinian state might have helped ensure him another victory. “Tightness of exits in Israel suggests Bibi’s shameful 11th-hour demagoguery may have swayed enough votes to save him. But at what cost?” he wrote. ... In interviews with the Israeli news media that Mr. Netanyahu usually shuns, he complained of a conspiracy of left-wing organizations funded from abroad and foreign governments out to topple him. ... [I]n a seemingly desperate bid to rally support halfway through the balloting, he went on a tirade against Israel’s Arab citizens. “Right-wing rule is in danger,” he said. “Arab voters are streaming in huge quantities to the polling stations.” He said they were being bused to polling stations in droves by left-wing organizations in an effort that “distorts the true will of the Israelis in favor of the left, and grants excessive power to the radical Arab list,” referring to the new alliance of Arab parties. Opponents accused him of baldfaced racism.

Since when is it racism to point out that one's opponents are being bused in large numbers to the polls and to encourage one's supporters to turn out to cast their own votes against them.

The Obama-Holder racial politicking has now metastasized beyond the borders of America and is threatening next to poison all of global politics. Who appointed Barack Obama the arbiter of racism? God, I can't wait for him to be gone.
