Mrs. Obama playing the race-card

as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station
Yeah, because being black has EVERYTHING to do with it, right? Barack won't get far with this kind of stuff. I don't think people take kindly to those accusations anymore.

Video here.

Are we talking statistically?

If so, she's right.

I guess he and his family aren't supposed to talk about being black. It's just playing the race card.
In fact, I bet he's only black so he can try and get the minority vote. Sneaky democrats.

I thought that was a really obnoxious comment. Otherwise, I think I really like Obama personally, not so much for his policy positions though.

What are the statistics of half-white, half-black people getting shot at gas stations? For comparison, please tell me what the statistics of all white and all black people getting shot at gas stations. While you're at it, if you have any statistics on people that are maternally mid-west American and paternally Kenyan, that would be most useful.

Some of the "liberals" out there seem to be more hung up on race than those that they claim are racist.

Ohhh, I guess she was announced as first-lady-to-be the same time he announced he was running. That's what we need, people in the White House that played the race-card to get there, right?

So now his "blackness" is in dispute and liberals are racists for even talking about their heritage.

He didn't call liberals racist.

And if his family/campaign is going to bring up the race issue on unrelated conversation, it's going to be brought up by the right. There's no way around that. I wish everyone would just leave race out of this and go on the facts.

She should have left out the "as a black man" aspect of it and the rest of it would have been perfectly reasonable.

Haha, I'll allow her one political snafu. Obama is still new and as such she's still new to the scene as well. Obama made a the "wasted" remark and she pulled the "as a black man, Obama can be shot" remark. Live and learn. It hasn't become a habit.
