He wouldn't be where he is today if he weren't black. He's actually only half black, but he'd prefer we forget about that minor detail. Remember the embarrassment he referred to as his "white grandmother?" But the 90+% of the black vote that he's getting has made the difference for him in this primary season. Obama supporters deny this even though it's as certain as sunrise. Not only is Obama getting more than 90% of the vote, but the number of blacks voting in this primary has risen dramatically compared to past primaries. Now, we can pretend that it has nothing to do with the color of Obama's skin, but don't you think we've seen enough pretending from Bush and his supporters? Let's deal with the truth, please. Beyond that, he's a rather typical politician telling us what we want to hear in order to further his personal ambitions. If he was white, Hillary would be the nominee. I wouldn't be so thrilled about that either.
