Could it be that, unlike you, he thinks it's race that matters and not principles - or, to be exact, that race is a fundamental principle? We're talking about Barry "Barack Hussein" Obama's mindset, and my question is this: is he a racist? If no, then why, for example, can't he loosen up (or at least fake it, as most politicians do) in the way you endorse? The guy strikes me as a humorless prig bent on race, race, and more race. He is constantly talking about how we need to stop talking about race BUT "typical white people" need to "change" while he won't ("I can no more disown him than" etc.).<BR/><BR/>Feh.
