“Obama’s unexpected success in this election.”

Unexpected? Speak for yourself. Barack “Barry” Obama was going to do well simply because he is half black. There are far too many yuppie whites who want to seek forgiveness and redemption—and blacks who believe “it’s our turn.” No, the Obama phenomenon should not be the least bit surprising. Hillary Clinton had the odds against her because she is merely a white woman. If she was also half black—she would easily capture the Democratic Party nomination.

Barack Obama’s dark skin is the only real reason why he is deemed a “serious” candidate. Other than that, he wouldn’t even be slightly considered for the highest office in the land. When is this “I want to prove that I’m not a racist” nonsense going to end?
