Commentary: No racism in the presidential election?

Hillary Clinton reiterated her last best argument as to why she should be the Democratic nominee: because only she can win in November.

Had Obama not played the race card in SC, this would not have been an issue. His campaign spun Hillary's MLK speech, and Bill's comment to get a "rise" out of African Americans.

This in turn, spurred the white-blue collar whites to retaliate in kind.

So how can Obama claim to be the unifier, when he is now more known as the Black candidate? Not only is the race card being played here... after Edwards' endorsement yesterday, it's obvious that the "good 'ol boy" sexism card is also coming into play!

Clearly, Obama has started all the "isms"! And he is not as gracious as everyone would like to think... he grandstanded with Edwards in order to downplay Hillary's overwhelming victory in WV.

I believe Hillary's supporters are going to take this personally, and we will NOT VOTE for any ticket headed by Obama! Three choices are going to be made in Nov. 1) sit our votes 2) vote for McCain 3) write in Hillary's name

About Me

Bussta Brown
I'm a 100% voter, author, U.S. Army veteran and self-described optimist who is extremely excited about the change that has come to America! For me "Yes we can" is more than a slogan. It's a rally cry to get in the game, get involved and get results. So "People get ready, there's a train a coming. You don't need no baggage, you just get on board. All you need is some faith...you don't need a ticket, you just thank the Lord."
