Geraldine Ferarro, to her credit, is not taking Obama's crap analogy about her comment VS Wright's twenty year history of racial bomb throwing and few have failed to notice how Obama Badly used his white grandmother for his political advantage. Obama will hold his core supporters but the independents will have second thoughts. Obama has already shown a decline in the polls.
“Krauthammer hit additional points that Obama sets himself up as a racial healer above it all”
I agree with that characterization. As I read Obama’s speech, it appeared he was saying that Rev. Wright, his maternal grandmother, his paternal grandfather, Geraldine Ferraro, his fellow congregants, even his wife, are all hostage to their life experiences and are bigoted to some extent. Only he has risen above his environment and now is the one to lift all others. It came across as self-righteous and condescending.
