Not saying that he did, but I can see how he could do it with disarming sweetness and reasoning. Having witnessed a lot of this type of persuasion, he could point out that the country was just not ready for a person like Obama running for president, and for them to think about what the consequences would be if the whites got afraid of a black president. Not only would it go against all democrats next year, but it would go against black politicians even more. He could just tell them that the whole movement could be in danger because of the divisions between the whites and blacks that would be caused by Obama, and wouldn't it be better to wait a little while. Let a white woman become president first, that would break down the barrier and then a black man could go for it. I can just hear it all being said with a soft southern drawl. Maybe I can accept the possibility of this because I have heard this type of reasoning for too long in this country!

Time for change and time for courage. I don't care where you go, but go boldly and don't get in my way. :bounce:
