[quote=steeljack;409980]Sorry Flash , but disagree with you on this , the only person discrediting Obama , by playing the race card is Obama , by describing himself as Black and pandering for the Black vote by saying 'look at me, I'm the same as you'. he turns others off because then he becomes just another Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton
If the guy wants to win the election he has got to start saying to America 'look at me, I'm an American same as you '

I appreciate what you are saying but is it reasonable to expect him to do this? Should he takle the moral high ground or try and concentrate on winning the race first- if that means playing the system is that morally questionable- Do the ends justify the means?- More questioons than answers in this I realise.
