Okay, it is truly stunning to hear a "white" talking head named Margaret Carlson (Bloomberg News) say, "In the first two weeks of 2008, suddenly Obama became the 'black' candidate." She credits the Clintons comparing him to MLK for this. Now he's just like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.
Well, he's ALWAYS been the "black" candidate so what is she really implying? He's transgressed some "white" line? Margaret's solution for Obama is to throw "white" people a bone by saying he's against something like affirmative action on the federal level.
I can't even stomach this kind of talk--no wonder I hardly ever watch this stuff.
