how that will be interpreted on a race basis. I had been thinking that, once Obama was president, the race thing would be over. The man's president, after all. Perhaps that's just wishful thinking.

>>I think you are one of the few Obama supporters on this thread willing to look at the negatives related to Obama. I did hear Obama tell Diane Sawyer on GMA(at least I think that is who he told) that his wife is off limits. I would disagree. If she is campaigning for him, then what she says should be fair game. The other stuff I haven't heard as being put off limits for him to discuss.<< Neal - I'm not sure about me being one of the few Obama supporters willing to look at the negatives. I see a lot of spirited defense of Obama, and I see that some of the people who defend him on this thread have considered some of the attacks on him to be unfair, but the same is true of the Hillary supporters. But never mind, and thanks for seeing me as being reasonable about that, anyway. I agree that if Michelle is out campaigning, then the things she says on the campaign trail are fair game. I also think that it is a misstep for Obama to say she is off limits, since saying that guarantees that his opponents will attack her all the more. I also don't fault him for saying it anyway, because I think he's just being a good, loyal husband. - Allen
