"Obama acknowledged when he arrived in the Senate that he got more attention, his big book deal and his celebrity because he is not white. He was only the third black senator elected since Reconstruction.
But as he campaigned here Tuesday, he was outraged at Ferraro's comments. 'They are divisive,' he said. 'I think anybody who understands the history of this country knows they are patently absurd.'"
Can't have it both ways, buddy. Then again, Florida and Michigan should never have penalized by denying their delegates, and the national party should have stepped in and managed the attempted date change. Now, Clinton's campaign is in peril and she wants those delegates back.
Maureen Dowd is spot on about the Clinton(Ferraro)/Obama debacle (and a lot of other stuff). Astute readers will find her on IHT.com and at the Washington Post.
