Democratic Sen. Barack Obama assailed as "slice and dice" politics Geraldine Ferraro's assertion that he wouldn't be where he is in the presidential race if he weren't black.

The controversy began Tuesday when the national media picked up on comments Ferraro made in an interview last week with the Daily Breeze newspaper in Torrance, Calif.: "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) 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."

There would be calls for resignation if a Republican said this ...

Being black has certainly boosted his image as a political wonder boy. I don't particularly buy the meat of his "our souls have holes" campaign.

Oh she's spot on right.  That's why the Democratic party is ripping her a new one.  No one is supposed to say the truth that they are the ones focusing on race and gender instead of the issues.

She was all torn up by the spin Obama's camp is putitng on this, calling her racist.  They're both wrong.  She is an ignorant slut and she's dumb to label "where he is" because he is black.  that has nothing to do with it.  Do you guys seriously think he's getting such praise because he's black?  what of Al Sharpton?  Exactly, it's Obama's character, talent, ideals, etc that are making him who he is.  I think there's a nice secondary benefit of him being black in the way that dems probably vote for him, then think as an after thought "and he's a minority too! Great!"  The same after thought mentality exists for Hillary being a woman.

What's she going to resign from?  She isn't in public office, and she's a Clinton supporter.  She's probably just still bitter about losing 25 years ago.

Maybe, but I'd rather people spoke on how they really felt than live in a country full of drones afraid of interpretation.

You can't say his middle name. You can't speak of the obvious race issue ( lol at democrats voting strictly along racial lines in mississippi ) like she did. The man is untouchable.
What she said is the truth. The man has no record to speak of that would make him overly qualified to be a senior  senator, let alone president.

I also lol at the fact that he is bi-racial, not pure black. Watch Hillarys people try to make that an issue. Like Bill was the first black president, ya'll remember?

Hillary is obviously losing, yet is power mad and will not stop until the whole thing becomes a fiasco 10 X bigger than George Bushes election.

What I will never understand is how the economy can be hurting, the dollar is weak, inflation is up, gas is sky high, food is sky rocketing and these people stand there and tell you with a straight face that we need to be paying more in taxes and fees while they vote themselves and their union supporters unsustainable retirement benefits and half of America gets excited.

The Democratic party is in disarray.

America is herded towards another bad leader.

you do know senior and junior in reference to senators has nothing to do with experience but rather, who was elected first.  You could be in the senate for 30 years and still be junior.

I just mean he is over hyped. Nothing more.
He doesn't seem to be quick off the cuff.

His policies seem bold, I'm interested. The wars in the ME must stop. Our borders must be secured.

Other than that, I'm open.

Hillary now trails in the popular vote, even if Florida and Michigan are included.

Here’s what Mississippi did:

Not to mention a re-vote in the two states is likely to produce a narrower margin than the first vote (and maybe even loss for her in Michigan).

The biggest expansion of government in history happened while the McCain types were in power. I don't think that's the kind of experience I want.


I still hear the booing in the back of my head.



I'd almost rather hand it over to the Hillary than have another GOP candidate ruin the image of conservatism (again).
