There is an audio clip available of Barack Obama on radio station 610 WIP this morning.
Host Angelo Cataldi asked Obama about his Tuesday morning speech on race at the National Constitution Center in which he referenced his own white grandmother and her prejudice. Obama told Cataldi that "The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity, but that she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know (pause) there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way." |
What is going on??? John Kerry just said what Geraldine Ferraro and Bob Kerrey said- Obama's race is an advantage in the campaign. Claire McCaskell just said something about Obama being the first African American leader not to present himself as a victim. Is there something in the water?
