What if ‘naked liberalism’ is just VERY unpopular?

Is it really true that BUT FOR racist white Americans, Obama’s liberal agenda (including the socialization of our health care industry) would skate through Congress and become law? I guess we could test the data, couldn’t we? If racism is really the single factor holding Obama’s agenda back, we should be able to find recent [...]
