Oh hey,Obama WAS black before the election!

As President Obama pointed out during an interview with David Letterman, "I think it's important to realize I was actually black before the election,",this as a response to ex-President Jimmy Carter's speculation that the recent anti-Obama sentiment was fueled by racism.I agree with Obama,if racism is an issue it has been since he announced his canidacy. The anti-Obama sentiment is typical of any president attempting to bring about change during economic (or any other kind) struggles. I commend Obama for his ability to have a sense of humor in the face of animosity directed at him.
