g_bambino Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Yes heard alot of talk about that, but again, regardless of the facts or the his actual "lineage" as it were, the point, as you made, is that Barack holds a unique set of cards; he can play up his "black" image for the people obsessed with race: african americans, liberals, limousine socialists, etc. And at the same time, he can pull off a good white-guy schtick and appeal to the broader un-obsessed bunch because he's not a raving lunatic as per Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or some of the other way-too-obvious african-american politicans who got rich on divisiveness. Yes, I can see how that works in his favour, disturbing as it is. Quote
