Ferraro: Obama Only Winning Because He Is Black

ferraroYou read them right. The words uttered from Geraldine Ferraro were not only reprehensible, off based and racist but also straight up wrong.

Here is the exact quote from Ferraro:

“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is.”

To which Obama refuted:

“The notion that it is a great advantage to me to be an African American named Barack Obama and pursue the presidency, I think, is not a view that has been commonly shared by the general public.”

Obama’s reaction makes Ferraro’s initial remark seem laughable… what a fool. To think that someone holding a position in Hillary Clinton presidential campaign who is in one of the closest primary races in the history of our country would make such ridiculous, racial comments is much more than a lack of judgement. Perhaps it is senility - she is 72. No… I think bigotry would be the proper word.

Ferraro stepped down from her post in the Clinton campaign. The title of her position? Honorary New York Leadership Council Chair. Perhaps she made the racial comments because she was pissed at being shafted with a pointless, make-believe, ridiculous sounding position stuck somewhere in right field.

Actually, it sounds like a Bud Light Commercial…  Here’s to you Ms. Honorary New York Leadership Council Chair Woman. I hope you enjoy that nice tall glass of shut the hell up.

By the way… you look like an uglier version of that chick from “Murder She Wrote”.
