Author Shelby Steele, Obama is a "bound" man who is limited by his race

[chocome]

Shelby Steele of the conservative Hoover Institution argues in a new book that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has generated excitement not because he's the first black person to run for president but rather because he's the first black "bargainer" to do so.

Steele thinks Obama's alleged insecurity about his racial identity explains not only his 20-year relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright but also his continued support for affirmative action and refusal to say whether he would have signed the welfare overhaul approved by former President Clinton in 1996.

It also explains, in Steele's view, why Obama said during a recent "Nightline" interview that blacks do not have the "luxury" of being "selective" when it comes to other blacks

10. because ignorant folks like you

lump us all together. so if a black person says anything it is attributed to barack. you haven't noticed but many of our black leaders have remained out of the spotlight because if anyone sneezes the wrong way it is baracks fault. it reassures me that my vote is a good one when i see the lengths you people have to go to in order to cover your candidates failings.
