Acknowledging that his presidential campaign has opened a racial debate, Sen. Barack Obama, who has a white mother and an African father, says if you look African-American, you are treated like one. Obama and his wife, Michelle, who also addresses the race issue, appear in an interview with Steve Kroft to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES, Sunday Feb. 11 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS television Network. If, as expected, Obama declares his formal candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination tomorrow, it will be his first interview to be broadcast after that event.

IIRC, didn't Obama say in his book that he CHOSE to live like a black?
Take That Race Card And Shove It. Isn't that a Mearle Haggard ditty?
And really, how does that treatment differ from anyone else? Sounds like "I'm a victim" statement.
"Falling 14 points in the polls to Hillary, Obama plays the race card and hopes for the best..."
How about if you act like a lying, treacherous, whinning liberal Democrat should people treat you like a liberal POS?
So if I go to South Park, Colorado and get myself a "negroplasty" I can then get a full scholarship to Harvard even though I only scored 1100 on the SAT? I say good deal.
I don't think a person whose sole issue is race is any candidate for the presidency. There are other, more pressing issues here.
You are taking this out of context, you racist. Why can't we all just get along?
What I want to know is why Obama always treats whites like they are racist!
Especially when it comes to affirmative action, minority scholarships, and kid gloves treatment from the MSM.
"I don't lose sleep over it because the realities are that as a black man... Barack can get shot going to the gas station," says Michelle Obama.
Huh?
I wish it were true, but I think it's the opposite.
He's lost me with this one. The statement makes no sense.
Is he saying that he's not African-American, so he shouldn't be treated like an African-American?
Or is he saying he is African-American, but he wants to be treated like something he's not?
Either way, he will be treated the same by me:
I will treat him like he's a Democrat. I hope that's OK with him. On second thought, I don't care whether that's OK with him.
not so sure about that.... I think he may have gotten pointers from good ol' Cynthia......
either way- LOL! the guy is NOT SO BRIGHT after all, eh?
Bottom line for Obama
No balls no Barrett
He has no shot.
I agree with you.
I wouldn't vote for him because of his politics and I do not trust because of the combination of his political views and his Muslim background.
Barak Hussein Obama playin the race card.
