It's not Obama's job to be a textbook black guy and feel at home at a barbecue, any more than it is Hillary's or Richardson's. What a stupid thing to say. Obama is not a perfectly representative example of a Black American, which is fine because he's not running as that, he's running as who he is.

We need to watch this kind of eating of our own as exemplified by this list. I share the sentiment about several of them, but we just need to remember who the real bad guys are, who make everybody on this list look pretty fantastic in comparison, after all.

And there's just no need to trash Rahm. Sure he's not always right - who is ? - but he's our street fighter, he's a totally committed workaholic that gets results.
