Ferraro was absolutely right. This empty suit, with 143 days of experience in the Senate before deciding he was ready to be President, would never have been taken seriously if he were white.
Obama himself decided to be called "black" by becoming obsessed over perceived racial slights or made up inequities.
If Obama had chosen to correct all writers right from the start, he would now be referred as the biracial candidate.
As it is, he believes he can gain more political ground by identifying with and joining up with the opressed slave mentality.
