Davis' use of the word was insensitive, I will concede. However, I find it remarkable that Obama's campaign criticized Davis far more stridently than they did the Jeremiah Wright.

Obama has never apologized for calling his grandmother, and potentially any Caucasian a "typical White" woman. I find that that much more offensive.

Besides, considering the remarks of Dick Durbinb, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore and John Kerry, to name a few, the reaction to Davis' comment should be considered diversionary and lame. Instead, we pile on. Quite pathetic.

Where was Obama's heightened sensitivity to racism over the past 20+ years that Jeremiah Wright was his "pastor, friend and mentor"?

My comment to Obama is, "Grow up!" As POTUS you will be called much worse. Just take a look at DU and the HuffPo and see the epithets that are used to describe Pres Bush and Repubs in general.

Their selective indignation over something so arsenumbingly pathetic, speaks volumes.

The way I see it is that Obama can dish it, but can't take it. We all know people like that. Boo-hoo.
