34. Give me something to comment on and I will.
Yes, Hillary plays up being a woman and Barack plays up being black. Hillary doesn't deny that it's important that she's a woman, but Barack claims that being black is a non-issue, even though he'll turn right around and remind everyone how historic his run for the presidency is--because he's black. He plays it both ways. Who do you think is being most honest on this issue? Also, the Clinton's aren't accusing Obama of sexism or of using Hillary's gender against her, but Obama or his surrogates do make the claim that the Clinton's are using his race against him. That's the difference. Yet, the Clinton's aren't saying anything more about Obama's race than he is about Hillary's gender. This is the undeniable truth, but I doubt that you'll allow yourself the inconvenience of recognize it.
