That's not entirely so. In his own words, as mentioned in the article, Obama said today: "It is also ironic that Senator Clinton lavished praise on Monday and is fully willing to accept today the support of South Carolina State Sen. Robert Ford, who said if Barack Obama were to win the nomination, he would drag down the rest of the Democratic Party because he's black."
That's a pretty tough shot.
State Sen. Ford made the statement.
Barack merely pointed out Hillary's collusion with him.
