Actually, he almost gets it right. It's really only a serious issue within the Democ"racist" Party.

Interesting that I see Obama stickers on lots of blacks’ cars. Are they voting for him because he’s qualified? I’d gladly vote for a black conservative for POTUS because if his/her views, not color.

Sure, right. 95 - 100% of blacks will vote for Obama over McCain and race is not a factor.
not at all.

“Is that going to be the determining factor in a general election? No”

...actually, it will if he needs it to be. That’s his ace in the hole...race. If ANYBODY says ANYTHING negative about Oslobba from now until November it will be considered racist or “hate” speech.

I actually had a very short lived conversation with a 35ish year old white guy, driving a Toyota Prius with an “Obama’08” sticker on it at the gas station. I said “So Obama in ‘08”? He said “It’s time for a black president”. Got in his little scooter car and was gone. GUILTY WHITE BOY! That’s the kind of idiot that’s going to vote for this horses&*t of an excuse for a human being!

Obama is a horses a** that just happens to be black. The fact is, there are some honorable and astute blacks I would vote for in a heartbeat, if only they were running. So, Obama is partially correct, race is not an issue among educated citizens, color not withstanding; but race is an issue among most of the black population.

He knows he won’t have to play the race card. He has legions of MSM “journalists” who are always ready and willing to do it for him.

Maybe he's right.

Race is not an issue for me.

For me, the election is about reality vs fantasy. It's about survival of America vs Islamofascism and the leftist traitors and fifth columnists.

It's about pragmatic reality vs “liberal” baloney.

It's about truth and reality vs more of the SOS from the Dims and left.

Race IS an issue for Obambi and all his followers and sycophants. That’s all they have.

Laughable. A quick summary of Obama’s entire campaign might be: “Race is not an issue; I’m black; vote for me to prove you are not a racist.”

He has carried White Vote in the Biggest State - California. If not for immgres, who stuffed the ballot box for Hildabeast, in CA, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma, she would have been done long time ago.

He is right, the only race issue is for bitter Dem blue collar workers.

Obama is a damned manipulative liar.

95% of blacks will vote for him, and my tax dollars just went to pay for a Bill Moyers PBS massive cover-up of one of the biggest racist hatemongers in recent American political history: the genuinely evil “Reverend” Wright, Obama’s mentor.

Any criticism of the ultra-ultra leftist Obama charlatan be met with charges of “racism.”

Of course race is a factor: Among Black voters, newcomer Obama beats known brand Clinton by 90-10 solely on the basis of racial soldarity. If you think race is not a factor, watch the racist mob that is Wright’s “congregation” roar its approval when Wright mocks a murdered teenager as a “white girl from Alabama who went to Aruba to give it up.”

They should do some research, perhaps.

Michael Steele would be a good POTUS or VP.
