The study hasn't been done, and the article has already come to a conclusion.
(guess that's the way of the right, 'say what ever lies we want, and that is now the truth')
Nothing to see folks.....just move on.
Apparently you misseed this:

According to the study’s abstract, provided by the National Science Foundation, a government agency under the control of the executive branch: “This research project attempts to provide further evidence for this Obama-induced racialization by pinpointing the extent that health-care opinions are influenced by racial attitudes and determining Obama’s causal role in racializing public opinion about a policy that has no manifest racial content.”
"This research project attempts to provide further evidence"
Only those who's vision is clouded by moonbattery would make a post like yours beause there's plenty to see here folks.
It's a shame but I think we need to focus more on the real money wasters more than how much his airforce 1 flights cost etc. Like unfunded entitlements, military spending, agro subsidies. Also our crazy free trade policies and subsequent trade deficit. Though we shouldn't ignore the small things I suppose.
It's less about the money than it is the insulting nature that they are going to try to prove that anyone who is opposed to Obamacare is racist.

The study of racial attitudes, does not imply racism.
But if you are, it does, i guess.
Finally found it....
Complete Abstract:
The growing organization of partisan politics by racial attitudes suggested by these results could have important policy ramifications. Race is probably the most visceral issue in American public life. As such, increased polarization of the electorate along the lines of racial attitudes would likely make the contemporary political discourse even more vitriolic than the already rancorous atmospheres under Presidents Clinton and Bush. Such a racialized environment would potentially make it more difficult to achieve common ground on public policy in the Age of Obama. That is a major reason why the last decade has witnessed a proliferation of research demonstrating that implicit racial communications can make racial attitudes more important in subsequent decision making (see Mendelberg 2008 for a review). Multiple studies, in fact, show that mass communications can make racial attitudes a more central ingredient of opinions about ostensibly non-racial policies such as welfare, crime and Social Security (Gilens 1999; Mendelberg 2001; Hurwitz and Peffley 1997; Winter 2008), as well as evaluations of presidential candidates in all-white contests (Mendelberg 2001; Valentino, Hutchings and White 2002). Research from the 2008 campaign significantly builds upon this existing knowledge by showing that merely situating a person or policy in opposition or accordance with Barack Obama made racial attitudes a much more important ingredient of public evaluations of these objects than they were beforehand (Tesler and Sears, forthcoming). This research project attempts to provide further evidence for this Obama-induced racialization by pinpointing the extent that health care opinions are influenced by racial attitudes and determining Obamas causal role in racializing public opinion about a policy that has no manifest racial content.
Again, it is not implying racism in any shape or form. You are just seeing what you have been told (or want to see) and not what is there.

Still nothing to see.
BS. It is you who is not seeing what you don't want to see.
Government waste, what a shocker!!
There have been STUPID AZZ studies like this going on for decades... You should be more angry that the government is wasting money vs what they are wasting it on..
What would that make me? I'm actually involved in one of the lawsuits fighting obamacare
