Or post-partisan. How racist of him to say that the Republicans will use his race against him. And how arrogant. They have more than enough ammunition against him to use something like that. He's an inexperienced, demigod who things he's been sent to solve the problems of the world. How hard is it to run against that?
"It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy," Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. "We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid.Yes it does, so why are you doing it? In this race it's only been the Democrats who have been focused on race. From racist comments by Obama's supporters to the implied racism of Bill Clinton. The Republicans won't have to bring up race, the Democrats seem to have that topic covered."They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"

"We know the strategy because they've already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn't moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us"

Who said this? When? Where? To whom? Where is the documentation?
By your photo, I'd guess you are in your early to mid 50's. Senior moments begin by that age. Are you sure this "memory" isn't a figment of your imagination? Or did you just read that in another right-wing blog and assume it is true?
A few months ago in Austin, Texas a predominantly white Presbyterian church burned to the ground, in a fire set by arsonists. Before that, a predominantly white Presbyterian church in Dripping Springs, Texas, burned down to the ground in a fire set by arsonists. Do you suppose your colleagues just got the wrong address?
Hey, "Rob", Since you're so big on references, how about some references that show it was Bush's idea to spread "a rumor that the child he and Cindy adopted from India was Black"
Also, since you've decided that personal attacks like commenting on Michele's appearance, calling her a liar, and questioning her mental state are OK, is it OK for me to call you a pathetic troll and loser?
You know what's funny? I'm the same age as Obama. I wonder if you'd characterize his lapses as "senior moments?"
Michelle, I for one think your glasses and smile are really cute ;-)
Thanks, ZZ! Rob's comments don't bother me. I tell my daughters not to let the opinion of people you don't even know bother you. Listen to the people closest to you. My husband and kids think I'm beautiful, that's good enough for me :-)
