And he won't be anyway - he's an empty suit.

How about we also try to imagine if Hillary would have the support she has if she were a man.

Oh. She is a man? Well OK then.

Barak Obama is not "black". He is of mixed Arab-Muslim and Caucasian descent.

Someone posted a picture of his grandmother- he's black African, at least partially.

Excellent article - thanks for posting. Do we really think anyone with Muslim heritage is going to get elected to the nation's highest office any time soon?!

Oh, I know. I know plenty of successful black Americans. And the great belongs to them, their families, their values, etc.

Story of Human Language, Course No. 1600, Taught by John McWhorter, Manhattan Institute, Ph.D., Stanford University
Interesting lecture (the parts I've heard). He talks about the linguistic evidence against a single colonization of the Americas (which are substantial), but doesn't come right out and say, it happened that way. :')

The problem with all this is that the liberals feel better about themselves for supporting Obama but the general electorate is likely to feel decidedly different about a black candidate for President.

"Where's his daddy? Do we know?"

His father (I decline to call him a daddy, because it takes somebody special to be a 'daddy' and any ol' sperm donor can be a father) is probably in Africa ... but we will see him regularly when Barack gets elected POTUS. Just like Michael Vick's father and Mychal Bell's father and every other one that shows up just as soon as there is big money and media attention.
