Entry: Barack's Other Half Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/baracks_other_half#17653 Post contents: It's really comical to hear people talking about Obama as the first black presidential candidate. In the first place, there have been others before him, such as Alan Keyes. In the second place, Obama is whiter than Hillary Clinton in some ways. One really comical thing came to mind as I was looking at the blog column lineup; Paul Gottlieb looks like a black man in his photo above his column and Obama looks like a white teenager in many of his photos. The support for Obama among American black people is as mystifying to me as the way so few black people I know took offense at having Bill Clinton characterized as 'the first black president'. Clinton exhibited all the stereotypical behavior that white racists use to characterize black politicians, such as; philandering, lying, openly lusting after money, and opportunistic positioning of oneself in order to take advantage of any distraction from criticism directed at corrupt behavior.
