QUOTE FERRARO
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is.
END QUOTE

Days of uproar brought on by the Obama Camp

QUOTE OBAMA (2005)
If he were white, he once bluntly noted, he would simply be one of nine freshmen senators, almost certainly without a multimillion-dollar book deal and a shred of celebrity.
END QUOTE

If you can’t see the similarities and don’t trust the journalist to report correctly. OK.

I see parallel lines; and in 2008 it caused an uproar from his team. Why I wonder?

Yeah, once again — I’m looking for a QUOTE from Obama himself.

Not just a statement from a journalist, not just from an article that simply dangles the claim that he once BLUNTLY noted this but then does not elaborate at all.

Sure, I am not blind or stupid; I can see the similarities in what Ferraro said and what this journalist claims that Obama said...allegedly...at some point or another...but he’s not saying what Obama’s exact words were...

I want the “money quote,” dammit.

Also, you can’t really pin the date of 2005 on your “QUOTE OBAMA/END QUOTE” either.

Yeah, the article was written in 2005. And the article states that Obama once “bluntly noted” something. It could have happened in 2005 or anytime before that.

I want to have the quote. The exact words Obama said, when he said them, where he said them, and in what context he said them in. I want all of the incriminating evidence.
