I'm so sickened by the media twisting of everything that is said by the Clinton campain and the insinuations that they are playing the race card.

So..it is ok for Barack Obama to constantly talk about "Making History". How does he think he is making history? By being the first man elected president? no. By winning against a woman? no. Ahhhh yes...by potentially becoming the first black candidate for president.

Can we not all call it what it is here? This is brilliant...HE can talk about making history...he can go into South Carolina and talk the lingo to the african americans "Bring cousin Ray-Ray" etc....BUT...if, after HE has made it all about getting african americans out to vote, Bill Clinton says "Jesse Jackson won SC too" then holy balls of fire, Bill is a racist and is making this all about race?

And imagine the outrage if Hillary talked about making history as the first woman candidate. They'd be all over her about using the gender card.

Seriously....I am becoming truly disgusted by the Obama camp. I have always said that I would vote for whomever became the democratic nominee, but now....I'm not so sure.
