I'm more and more certain that :tinfoilhat:bama doesn't care about winning, just starting a movement that he can benefit from. The vast majority of Americans are going to think that if this black candidate is sliming the Clintons about race then who can he get along with? Certainly not middle America.

Here's an article, true I don't know but it's on the seemingly pro:tinfoilhat:bama Huffington Post.

Obama Camps's Memo on Clinton's Politicizing Race

Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has prepared a detailed memo listing various instances in which it perceived Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign to have deliberately played the race card in the Democratic primary.

The memo, which was obtained by the Huffington Post and has been made public elsewhere, is believed to have been given to an activist and contains mostly excerpts from different media reports. It lists the contact info and name of Obama's South Carolina press secretary, Amaya Smith, and is broken down into five incidents in which either Clinton, her husband Bill, or campaign surrogates made comments that could be interpreted as racially insensitive.

Very publically in Novemeber 2007, Mrs :tinfoilhat:bama said black voters will wake up and get it. Imagine if Bill Clinton said the same thing or reversed saying white voters will wake up and get it?

WASHINGTON -- With polls showing African Americans yet to give overwhelming support to White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), his wife, Michelle, said "black America will wake up and get it" in an interview with MSNBC.
Michelle Obama predicted the surveys are "not going to hold," in an interview taped in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sunday to air this morning on MSNBC.
