It seems the more Barack Obama tries to explain the peculiar statement he made Tuesday concerning his white grandmother's "fear of black men who passed by her on the street," the more he's assuring attention regarding the matter.
"The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity...But she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know . . .inbred...reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."

How’s that song go? “He’s come undone... He climbed a mountain that was far too high.. and when he found out he couldn’t fly... I was tooo laa—aa-a-e-aaate!”
That’s the truth! LOL!
Only he knows for sure if there’s a shred of truth in anything he wrote in that book.

These are direct quotes from his own book... Hey quadrant if your gonna try to support Obama you better do some homework first...
You might have something there. If he were to get beat up bad now and lose the nomination to “she who must not be named” and then play the role of the great forgiver/unifier of the Democrat Party as VP candidate/race healer, the Dems could get the whitehouse.
I agree, however, I don’t think age even matters. If I’m by myself in a parking garage or even on certain streets at night, I sometimes fear anyone I don’t know that may be coming my way. I don’t care what their race or even gender may be. It’s just the way things are.
... maybe Barack figures he won't need them ...
“SCREW YOU Barack and the RACIST pastor you rode in on!!!”
Now that is what I call “dirty riding”.
I don’t think quadrant was supporting Obama with that post. If anything, the way I took it, quadrant was suggesting Obama was stretching his grandmother’s statement in order to make his point and then throw her under the bus. But, what do I know.
Well said, and ditto's.
The Hillary people are loving this. Obama took the ‘race’ card bait, and now he’s sinking.
Typical White Person.
What does that mean? Is there a Typical Black Person? Typical Asian Person?
What an jerk. Thankfully, the fact that he is a jerk is coming out now.
(Poor Granny, I feel bad for her...)

Thank you for saying that! It is exactly how I feel and you did it so much better than I could!
This jerk can really stick it where the sun don’t shine.
Time to stop digging Barry.
A friend of mine who is a life long democrat called me just today to ask me what I thought. He said that he was going to vote Republican for the first time in his life. I told him that he was finally leaving “the dark side”.
Throw in Colt 45 Malt Liquor as another alleged stereotype indicator.
