Typical White Person

I swear this guy just keeps digging that hole deeper and deeper.  

You know, of all the scenarios that played through my mind about the first viable black presidential candidate and about how race and racism would play into the election, the one scenerio I never in a million years expected was that the black candidate would be the racist.

Because, come on now, that is a blatantly racist statement, is it not?  This isn’t something that the Reverend Wright said that he didn’t hear because he wasn’t there on that particular Sunday. 

This was something he said.  Something he thinks.  Something he believes. 

Typical white person.

Can you imagine the liberal outrage if Hillary (post, not pre-Obama Hillary) or McCain said someone was a “typical black person?”

So can we now put to rest the politically correct idea that he is not racist, only his minister is? What other conclusion can we draw if the substitution of the word “black” for the word “white” would automatically make it racist, as you know it would be labeled by the left?

Racist or incredibly inept politician who would be president.  Either way it’s not good.

Up until a week or so ago I thought he had this thing in the bag, and even after the Obama-Wright connection finally made it into the news, I figured he would weather the storm.

Now, not so much.  I think he is done.  The super-delegates can now legitimately look to Hillary as the best candidate in the general election and, if recent polls are any indication of shifting mood, she has some big primary wins in her future.

Anything can happen and I may be eating my words in a few weeks, but my bet is Barack Hussein Obama is not going to be the nominee and, if he is, he will still be going back to the Senate next year after losing the general. 

** I’ve added some stuff to this post.  I do that sometimes when I think it will clarify or expound on something I wrote.  It’s my blog and I get to do that, so deal with it.

Radioactive Man

Does Obama’s connection to Reverend Wright make him radioactive?   In the general election?  I think so.  It’s McCain’s to lose.  But I don’t know how much this hurt him in his quest for the Democratic nomination.  His fans consider him a god and immune from any bad news.  Still, the super-delegates are going to look at who is best in the general election and frankly, as sad as she is, Hillary is looking better and better.  A real miracle considering how she looked a couple of weeks ago.
