Reply #25: What has Obama done? He spent years working to improve [View All]

[cali]

the lives of poor inner city African Americans in Chicago both as a community organizer and civil rights lawyer. Up until less than a month ago Hillary had the edge when it came to black voters- including in SC. Then came two things: Obama won Iowa and the Clinton campaign started using certain tactics against him. And what the heck are you talking about saying that Bill Clinton was the best friend they ever had? That isn't only patronizing in a rather distasteful way, it's patently false. MLK was a far better "friend". LBJ was a better "friend". Who do you think was most adversely impacted by Clinton's welfare reform?

Yes, race is a factor. So is gender when it comes to Hillary, but it's hardly the whole story.
