Reply #11: Obama's campaign has been more than a campaign for black America....

[earthlover]

Always has been. Early on, the Hillary campaign tried to paint Obama as the black candidate. He has resisted such stereotyping. He has tried to transcend race and talk about a United States of America. If he had portrayed himself as a black candidate, he would never have gotten this far in the first place because it would have negated one of his central messages. So I disagree with you that he was wrong not to make his race speech earlier. He was prepared to make it when the issue came up. And he did.
