White guilt, political correctness, and the media love affair with him is the only reason a first term senator with a questionable background is anywhere close to becoming president.
That is ridiculous. I suppose Abraham Lincoln who only had 8 years in the Illinois legislature and 1 term as a Representative wasn't qualified and only got the position because he was white? Or maybe because he had a beard? Or because he was skinny? Or maybe because he gave a few good speeches?
If being black was such a big advantage why hasn't Al Sharpton won the presidency (he ran in 2004)? Why is there only 1 black Senator and 8 black representatives when blacks make up 12% of the population? It's a conspiracy! Those black people are only there because of whitey guilt and affirmation action! As a matter of fact, maybe the only reason I was president of MM is because I was black!
Obama's race works for and against him. There are people who are only voting for him because he's black, there are people who aren't voting for him because he's black, and there are people who won't vote for him because they think he's Muslim. But to say he's only where he is because of his race is absurd.
Maybe you should use Jesse Jackson? I mean, he's not known for extorting companies or illegitimate children or anything.
