To those Hillary backers that just can't help but raise the "race card" issue, read the caption under the damned picture.

It's from 2006.

Obama's cousin,

by the way,

is HOT.

What is the point of this story? That he has a white cousin?

I would like to see a photo with him and his other cousin, Dick Cheney. Where is that happy little family foto op?

How the hell am I playing the race card? I may be cynical but I'm not stupid. First, his percentage of the white vote in South carolina was only 25%, about the same as Hillary Clinton's percentage of the black vote there. His percentage of the white vote in Florida was 20% and the percentage of black voters there was only 19%. He got trounced in Florida and those kind of statistics do not bode well for him going into Super Tuesday states with large white voting blocs.

So suddenly he shows up in Kansas and has a big media rally featuring his white cousins, (on stage and pushed in front of the media's cameras), that didn't even know he existed until a few months ago.

You think this is coincidence? Well it's not. It's politics. And if you don't think that racial angle is being calculated by the Obama campaign, then I would argue that you're quite naive.

Another stupid post. Come on Huffington - this contributes nothing....

I've got to repeat what someone said below. The PHOTO tagline says the picture is from 2006 in ILLIOIS not Kansas. Go read the real story, not Huffpo's version of it. Good grief.

"Barack Obama poses for a picture with a cousin; summer, 2006 at an Illinois Breakfast in the Hart Senate Office Building. (Photo by Lynn Sweet)"

For whatever reason Huffpo's doofus headline writers want you to think the photo they are using is from today. It's getting a bit ridiculous.

"oh, let me get my white cousin in a photo op to show americans that im not all black....uh..change, hope and stuff" -

El Dorado is an oil refinery,and not much else.It reeks.Some days,you can smell the stench for twenty miles.

Win lose or draw in this race, Sen. Obama deserves a great deal of credit for elevating racial discourse and, hopefully, attitudes to higher plains in the USA. Being a graduate of a historically black college located in the deep-South in 1963, when the racial norm in the USA was characterized by the murder of little African-American girls in Sunday school, I didn't think that this day would come during my lifetime. And, in my mind, the vision of this day coming never had anything to do with the left-wing, liberal, non-malicious racists who advocated patronizing strategies and programs that superficially empowered the Black Bourgeoisie while failing to promote black academic preparations and aspirations for the greater black masses so as to empower future black generations with the skills and character required to become equal in the American society, in a competitive sense. The vision involved being prepared for the opportunity for which we hoped. The actions of the Clintons last week and the performance of Sen. Obama symbolize the old and new racial paradigm. The Clintons' old paradigm emphasizes the need to wait because one can't "schuck and jive", "kid", "be a fairy tale","play a pick-up basketball game at Harvard", "win like Jesse Jackson" and seek the presidency. The old paradigm says: "We will tell you when it is 'your' time". The new paradigm of Sen. Obama and his ilk emphasize character and academic preparation, leadership skills, courage, acceptance of American ideals and belief and trust in the American people. With great passion, I wish that some of my African-American comrades who served with me and who paid the supreme sacrifice in our war, Vietnam, were here to see this transformation. They would be proud to have given so much for the country whose ideals we dearly loved and believed in, notwithstanding the racial paradigm we witnessed and challenged in the 1960s.

Golly golly golly everybody's related to obama...they whole country, they whole world...gee gee no wonder Americans are so stupid.

Just came from the Obama rally last night in Kansas City where there was standing room only and over 1000 people turned away (he spoke with them anyway, as they stood in the below freezing cold to see him!). My governor (Kathleen Sebelius) endorsed him, and the ground campaign is fantastic here. Kansas is going to go to Obama!!!! Barack-Chalk Jayhawk!!!!

Anyone that disagrees with Obama are racists.
BTW Bagger, Charlie Rangel endorsed Hillary.

Watch what happens now that Edwards is out, can HRC get past her 50% negative--hmmm. Also wait to hear the Edwards camp start talking about Clinton and NAFTA. HRC cannot win the general election given her negatives and 35 years of Washington--so all of you HRC folks need to carefully ponder where your rights will be after McCain appoints socially conservative Justices that will keep the Supreme Court for the next 20 years taking away your rights. Vote for Hillary=Vote for McCain--you heard it here first.

Uh- oh.

Now look at what you've done, Barack.

Now, Hillary's going to have to pull a distant black relative out of her ass.
