I heard Ferrarro too, when she first made the statement. There was nothing racist about it. She was just stating facts. If a white, green, purple or any other color person tried to run for the Presidency on such a thin resume, they would NOT have come this far. ESPECIALLY a white person. Face it, Obama could be calling himself white too, and the question is....if he did, would there have been any such flap about his lack of any business, or much of any other type of experience that would qualify him for the POTUS position???? The far left is totally out of hand, and unfortunately, Ferrarro had to find out the hard way. GWB has been taking flack for nearly 8 years now.

When I was a child my parents taught me about guilt by association. They explained that even though I wasn't guilty of doing things that other people did, I would be considered guilty simply because I chose to associate with people that did things that were wrong. They allowed me to make my own choices, and decide who I did and did not associate with, but they made it clear............associate with criminals (or whatever) and you'll be considered a criminal. No amount of pc can change human nature. Wether the liberal press, liberals in general or Barack Obama like it or not, he is going to be linked to his spiritual leader and the positions he takes. Barack Obama may be compared to Jesus, but we know he's only human, and this is something that is going to happen...even to him. He might lessen the impact by strongly denouncing what Dr. Wright says, but some people are scared enough or angry enough that might not be enough to overcome the stigma.
