Exactly, he is post racial, just as Hillary tried to be post gender for a long time. too many hang ups on race and gender, missing the point that Republicans have led us into war, economic ruin, debt, massive foreclosures, fuel disasters, education failures, rising unemployment, a shrinking middle class, and oh yeah, now the Pakistani's are gonna shoot us!! Thanks Republicans, but no thanks!

Uh, hello, has he ever called himself a "white man"? He calls himself a "black man."

Why are you lecturing US when it's an asshat from your side who calls Sarah Palin a "floozie" in every one of his posts? But I guess that's acceptable because it's one of your gang, right?

Bloody hypocrites.

It would be nice if Katie Couric had the guts to ask Palin about this. I just don't get it.

I have often heard him discuss being of mixed heritage. Since he was raised in a white home, went to a racially diverse school in HI, I would think he is more inclined to consider himself a human American than a specific race. He is a candidate whose skin is brown, that is it for me.

Somebody calling someone a bad name is a bit tamer than taking 300000000 people to the brink of disaster. Last I looked, this fabulous Bush economy had the Asian markets falling tonight. Sorry, Kev, although you might feel better, it is offending some of the Republican supportes to hear their candidate called a Floozie. Just remember the next time Hillary is called a Feminazi to rise up with the same vigor.

Why are you coddling this misogynist? As I recall, he called Hillary vile names, too, so he clearly has a problem with women.

The Floozie said that she thought Obama would regret not picking Hillary. I think McCain might regret not picking Lieberman

It is not my fault. It is McCain's fault. He picked The Floozie- not me.
