Say It Ain’t So!

Senator Robert Ford of South Carolina believes it is political suicide for the Democrat Party to endorse Barack Obama because he is black. He stated, "Then everybody else on the ballot is doomed. Every Democratic candidate running on that ticket would lose because he's black and he's at the top of the ticket. We'd lose the House, the Senate and the governors and everything. I'm a gambling man. I love Obama. But I'm not going to kill myself."

Apparently the White Man could not handle a black president. He then offered the most bizarre "apology" I have ever heard of. He stated, "If I caused anybody – including myself – any pain about the comments I made earlier, then I want to apologize to myself and to Senator Obama and any of his supporters." It is nice to know that this senator is apologizing to himself for allegedly causing himself pain.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, expresses the exact opposite view of Robert Ford. He said, “If I don't win this race, it will be because of other factors: . . . (that) I have not shown to the American people a vision for where the country needs to go . . . that they can embrace…”

Also I wonder what would have happened had a Republican said this!
