For some strange reason (I’m not sure why...), I was asked a question about Barack Obama’s victory in the Iowa Caucuses. The question was racial in nature, regarding a statement made by an Iowa participant….

And Obama? Quite bluntly, the way the Democrats are treating him is insulting: They're trotting him around like a talking panda: "Look, he's a black man that's not scary! You'll vote for him, right?" At the risk of offending some folks, I'll say the following: If Obama was a white man, the Dems would have patted him on the head and said "That's nice kid, come back in a few terms when you're more seasoned."

First of all, let’s try (again) to dispel some myths.

I wouldn't call it a Fro, Bro.

IMHO, Obama’s black problem with the Democrats is actually larger than Mitt’s mormon problem with Republicans.

Frodian?

We’ll have to ask “Sheets” Byrd.

Not sure if they’re prepared to go past “octoroon” at this point.

No, I think he needs to be even more black, while appearing white, a la Clinton. Being black, apparently, is a mindset vs a race or color. (See also Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas).

Maybe, or it could be something simpler.

...a hair style.

I don’t know what he is to Democrats, he’s too red for me however.

[Malone LaVeigh]

Don’t fro me, bro!

[bocopar]

The “Fro” was a result of my trying to type without my glasses on. A sin I shant commit again.

If Obama was a white man, the Dems would have patted him on the head and said "That's nice kid, come back in a few terms when you're more seasoned."

This is the point, and the whole point.

Fro?

As in Afro or did the title mean to say For?

[massgopguy]

It looks like there are approximately 75,000 Black people living in Iowa and he couldn’t get 5,000 votes?
