BO plays the race card - seen on TV today (friend's report):
• On CNN Geraldine Ferraro said that the interview she gave regarding Obama to the Daily Breeze Newspaper in Torrance California was given a couple of weeks ago and did not receive any attention. And why should it Torrance California is a suburb of LA and the Daily Breeze is a small suburban paper . However someone in the Obama camp saw the article and Emailed it to the media and that is the genesis of the controversy. Obama was playing the race card; however the media blames Hillary for injecting race into the campaign when it is the Obama people doing when it suits them.
• On "This Week with George Stephanopoulos Donna Brazile, in a defense of Wright, that he was just the mouthpiece of the anger that many blacks have towards whites. And that in comparison with other ministers he is rather moderate-which I find scary.

1. Wright is moderate? Wow, just take that to the GE for a sure win, Donna!
Talk of divisive comments. Looks like DB has big chips on both shoulders as well.

2. The race card always appears just in time for a majority black primary (SC, MS)
It is obvious which candidate is the only one with a motive to play the race card at those times. Just look at the results on racial lines from those states.

6. Bingo! Someone saved the Ferraro coments made weeks ago on an obscure local

TV channel until it was time to be seen "as black " again. It's the single most repulsive feature of this campaign to me.

4. Isn't it time Donna Brazile quits pretending she is uncommitted?
Obama could not have a more dedicated supporter.

And I would like to know what on earth kind of church she goes to that makes her think Wright is rather moderate? My heavens, I have heard Ms. Brazile say a lot of over the top things before - - this one totally outdos any she has said before.
