Geraldine Ferraro Said Obama Is Only Where He Is Because He's Black

[Herb Schaffler]

Geraldine Ferraro, who is working for Hillary, said that Obama is only where he is because he's black. Can't these people think before they open their mouths?

I just read that and I thought it was great. Years ago a black basketball player made the statement that Larry Bird recieved the attention he got only because he was white, and nobody said boo.

Barrack Obama belongs to a somewhat racist Afro-centric church in Chicago, has been endorsed by Louis Farrakhan, and even wrote a book called "Dreams of My Father." It is barely mentioned that both of his black fathers jumped ship early in his life and his upbringing was left to his white grandparents.

Where would Obama be if it wasn't for the Democratic Party's preoccupation with race and gender issues. Let's not look at Ferraros statement through Democratic p.c. rose-colored glasses. If you don't believe he's where he is because of his color, you're kidding yourself.

My point is that it sounds strange for a liberal like Ferero to make that kind of statement.

I wonder if it occurred to Geraldine that she was the vice presidential nominee only because she is a woman.
