Wow, you're darn right...

What the holy heck was that quote all about? IMO, that guy is a freaking bigot. I thought he might merely be a racist enabler. There is a reason he was regularly sitting in Wright's church. Why? Because he believed those messages - like the rest of those in attendance - he was thrilled by the notion of the black elitism he was being fed....

"His grandmother was," as one radio guy said, "thrown under the bus by Obama - And, if that wasn't enough he then runs grandma over." - What really happened was the "typical white person" got run over - And, so did his election chances. Didn't he also say his grandmother commonly expressed racist slurs against blacks? So, is all that typical of white folk? How can the man lead us away from racism, bigotry and stereotypes when he's a living example of the bigotry himself?

How?

Actually I'm discovering the racists are the ones who are constantly calling attention to race. When I saw Margaret Thatcher I didn't see a woman - I saw a leader. When I saw Colin Powell I didn't see a black man - I saw a leader. When I saw JFK I didn't see a Catholic - I saw a leader. When I see my adopted African son I don't see a black boy - I see a precious human being.

When I used to see Barack Obama I used to see a very eloquent charismatic man - Perhaps, even a leader (hadn't got that far) - Now, all I see is a typical black politician.

His chances of being elected now are remote - at best.

I think he's done.
