This is what the obama folks here seem to think. Actually, it's Obama's campaign that is shamelessly playing the race card. Michelle Obama's comments attest to that. She chastises Hillary's campaigner Bill, making reference to his "fairy tale" comment. Then, she echoes Dr. King's words about people being judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
I believe the Obama campaign was intentionally misinterpreting the statements made by the Clintons. They push the racial buttons. Rather than accepting the Clintons' explanations for their remarks, the Obamas have encouraged the race-baiting. They certainly haven't done anything to defuse the racial tension.Barack and Michelle Obama and their supporters are exploiting race to score political points.

"A president shouldn't be chosen on the basis of gender or race. It's the individual's qualities and abilities and positions on issues that matter.

Forty years after Dr. King's death, it seems his dream is still a dream.

People still aren't defined by the content of their character. Race still matters. It's still used to divide Americans.

It's disgusting that Dems, the ones claiming to be champions of minorities and women, are relying on race and gender to divide and conquer, to achieve political goals."
