Obama: it IS About Race (and Gender, and Religion)

Hillary Clinton and Paul Begala have been criticized for saying that Barack Obama cannot win the votes of white working people. (http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=1022) The truth is, however, that Barack Obama bears the primary and perhaps the sole responsibility for turning this election into an issue of race, as well as gender and religion. The issue has nothing to do with the color of Obama’s skin, and everything to do with the content of his character (or lack thereof).

...It is therefore no surprise that Barack Hussein Obama has a problem with white, working class voters (or, to use the terminology of his friend Al Sharpton, “crackers” and “white interlopers”). It is no surprise that women won’t vote for someone who demeans them with a term like “Sweetie,” which is pretty much along the lines of someone calling an African-American “Boy.” It is no surprise that Jews and Catholics have nothing but contempt for someone who consorts openly with knuckle-dragging bigots (Sharpton, Farrakhan, Wright, MoveOn.org) who really belong with the dregs of a long-extinct society. If Barack Obama wants to really understand his “race problem” (and his problem with women, Jews, and Catholics), the best thing he can do is look in a mirror.
