"if Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position."

"And if he was a woman 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," Ferraro said.


So what's to argue about? He had a history of NOT taking a position when he was in the Illinois state legislature with "Present" votes not to mention his "Not Voting, Excused, Absent, or Present" voting record in the U.S. Senate. That combined with NO military history makes what, a good candidate?

His MAJOR backing is from the black community where he has been getting 80%-90% of the vote. Do ya REALLY think that he'd be in this position if like Ferraro stated, he was a white male or a female?

It's not a question whether he's black enough....it's whether or not he'd be a contender if he weren't. Take away 50% of his minority vote and you'd find him in the same boat as Edwards...if even.

Have a good one!:s4:
