Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday that race is not the reason he is struggling to attract working-class votes and insisted he can win over uncommitted superdelegates by showing he is "best able to not just defeat John McCain, but also lead the country."
Speaking in a broadcast interview, Obama also brushed aside a challenge from Hillary Rodham Clinton to debate before the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. "I'm not ducking. We've had 21" debates, he said.
Trailing in delegates and the popular vote, Clinton has been stepping up the pressure on Obama for more debates before the upcoming primaries, which are crucial to her candidacy. She also has been reaching out to uncommitted Democratic superdelegates in hopes of capitalizing on her Pennsylvania primary victory.
Clinton's Pennsylvania victory was buoyed by support from working-class and white voters, but Obama dismissed the notion Sunday that race will be a factor in the presidential election.
"Is race still a factor in our society? Yes. I don't think anybody would deny that," he said on "Fox News Sunday."
"Is that going to be the determining factor in a general election? No, because I'm absolutely confident that the American people what they're looking for is somebody who can solve their problems."

“Is that going to be the determining factor in a general election? No, because I’m absolutely confident that the American people what they’re looking for is somebody who can solve their problems.”
True. But Obama’s media supporters want it to be a race narrative, one that, of course, polishes the egos of the race-obsessed urban white liberals.
If it’s not about race, or youth, it will b e about “issues” - which no candidate really wants it to be about. Rather, “hope” and “change” and “security.”
That statement proves that he’s out of his mind.
...not just defeat John McCain, but also lead the country.
I haven't seen or heard yet where he's shown he can lead the country anywhere but to the bottom.
Race is only a factor if it’s used in this communist’s favor - IMO, the Democrat Party ought to discount Barack Hussein Obama as a factor in the presidential election if they want to have a snowball chances in hell of winning the WH.
Obama cannot let this be about race. He’s got to maintain the story line that he ‘transends’ race. Once ‘race’ becomes an issue, he’s lost his story and he’s sunk.
He is gunning for the "seasoned statesman" look.
Aha!!! If he turns grey he will no longer be black.
“I’m not ducking. We’ve had 21” debates, he said.
However 20 of the debates were like the Wallace interview
this morning. He’s petrified of having another debate like the “ABC debate”.
(I can’t believe I just said that)
and dumb too.
Yeah, Obama's comment leaves me slack-jawed. He and his wife live in a parallel universe.
Remember when one of Obama's black advisors told an Asian girl to get out of her chair because the blacks needed "more white people" in the background? She probably drinks the same black racist Flavor Aid as Jeremiah Wright and his followers. She said this after Obama made the "typical white person" comment.
If Obama loses in either August or November, his camp will make threats of violence and widespread destruction. The question remains as to whether or not those threats will be carried out.
We best be prepared for the worst case scenario in an Obama loss.

He discounts race with a * next to it, and he’s got a twinkle in his eye, WHITEY, so I hope you unnastand what’s up.
Keep it real, white boyz.
If you don’t vote for him, you need to write a note on the ballot explaining why...
...and...
IT BETTER NOT BE BECAUSE HE’S BLACK YOU INBRED REDNECKS.
DO YOU PALE MUTHER EFFERS UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN? NOW GET YER BLUE EYED SATANIC ASSES IN THERE AND VOTE FOR THE BROTHER AND MAYBE YOUR CAR WILL BE OUTSIDE WHEN YOU RETURN.
BTCH.
Thanks, and have a nice day.

Thought this was from the Onion.
That’s true, as long as he’s not the one making race a factor. He’s stated that his supporters (and who are the biggest block of his supporters, at some 90-something percent?) will possibly not support any other rat candidate than himself-the “messiah”. This man is cynical to the core, and will play identity politics with the best of them-and get away with it, because the liberals have made it impossible for anyone to call out a black man for lying and hypocrisy, even themselves. I hope they fall on that sword hard.
Check out the audience on her shows...
“We best be prepared for the worst case scenario in an Obama loss.”
I’m so happy that I live so far out in the woods that the UPS man calls for directions. Lots of us bitter typical white americans clinging to our guns out this way. I seriously doubt we’ll have any issues around here.
The critical thing is that the individual best be prepared and capable of self-defense if the Obama people start burning down buildings.
