I think
this sort of report about Obama rings true. He's kind of a slime ball in that respect.
This is a very clever bit of rhetoric. For one thing, note how Obama conflates the entirely legitimate concern over his inexperience with prejudice against his race or "funny name." If you vote against him because he's green, you might as well be voting against him because he's black.
But maybe not as slimy as the
Washington Post, the slimiest paper in America. Its favorite strategy is to write a damning article on someone or something and support the claim with quotes from... random individuals. So I was amused to read this sentence in the same WSJ article:
To compensate for its lack of statistical evidence, the Post turns to "experts" to lend credibility to its claim of a white-supremacist surge.
Hi, I am Bob, I am an expert on surges in white supremacy, especially those surrounding the Obama campaign as exaggerated by, if not wholly created by, the Washington Post.

He should focus more on real issues than trivial matters. In one of his many talks, his event organizer asked 2 muslim ladies with head scarves to stand away from the stage so that they wouldn't upset the non-muslims potential voters. Of course, he denied it. It's all about image.
Yes, I think he could be all spin.
Had drinks this evening with an English friend visiting from NYC. She said she had heard that many Americans would never vote for a black presidential candidate, which she thought was shocking. Oh, groan... I said she probably saw that on CNN or read it in the NYT. Or maybe heard it from Obama.
Possible from CNN.
