"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position" ..."And if he was a woman (of any colour) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept." (Former U.S. Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro)
When i first heard these comment i thought maybe this was another one of the Clinton parties way of making conflict so that Hillary could get more sympathy votes with tears. When did it become a race about Obama being a black man? I find it very funny that he has the popular vote and the Clinton camp can't handle it. To make this campaign about him being a black man wouldn't make sense when he's clearly bi-racial. Barack has yet to use false charges and exaggerated claims to play politics, therefore they are making their candidate look like she's not worthy. It's very sad that the Clinton campaign is based on pulling someone else down in order to climb on top but you see theres also where they will mess up. This country no longer is in that mindset of identity driven politics.. If race plays a part in Obama's success, then how does she account for the multitude of white men and women, middle-aged, both democratic and republican an who support him?, For me 2008 has continued to prove that this country is still racist, i hate to say it but maybe after some of the Older people in this country who are still stuck in "Back in da Days" mindset die off. This country can finally Be a Country... ima stop here i could go one and on, I'm just sick of people both black and white pulling the race card.

The entire campaign isn't about the issues anymore, they are simply attacking character well the Clintons in particular..this has become a circus and I am tired of it!
