"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position"

Yup. That's what former vice presidential candidate / current Clinton surrogate Geraldine Ferraro said about St. Barack of Obama:

When the subject turned to Obama, Clinton's rival for the Democratic Party nomination, Ferraro's comments took on a decidedly bitter edge.

"I think what America feels about a woman becoming president takes a very secondary place to Obama's campaign - to a kind of campaign that it would be hard for anyone to run against," she said. "For one thing, you have the press, which has been uniquely hard on her. It's been a very sexist media. Some just don't like her. The others have gotten caught up in the Obama campaign.

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she continued. "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept." Ferraro does not buy the notion of Obama as the great reconciler.

The Obama campaign has asked for the Clinton camp to repudiate the statements. Of course this won't happen. Only Obama staffers should be fired for stupid comments.

Meanwhile, in real news, Barack will handily beat Hillary the monster in Mississippi today.
