Barack Obama is striking a delicate balance to capture black voters but avoid becoming the stereotype that has sunk past black hopefuls for the White House.\u2019 Well, now, let\u2019s see. How many of those have there been? How many past black hopefuls have there been for the White House? There has been the Reverend Jackson. There has been Carol Moseley Braun. She ran in the primaries once. There has been the Reverend Sharpton. There have been Alan Keyes and Shirley Chisholm. Well, you throw her out, and she throw out Keyes, because he\u2019s a Republican, and you actually throw out Carol Moseley Braun because she didn\u2019t go anywhere. Basically what this story is saying, when they say, &#8216;Sen. Barack Obama is striking a delicate balance to capture black voters but avoid becoming the stereotype that has sunk past black hopefuls for the White House,\u2019 it can only mean&#8230; Can I translate this sentence for you? Senator Barack Obama (laughing) is striking a delicate balance to capture black voters but avoid becoming perceived as a Justice Brother. <\/p>\n<p>This clearly says he\u2019s doing everything he can to avoid being perceived liked Reverends Jackson and Sharpton. &#8216;The Illinois Democrat is running ads in South Carolina to shore up support among black voters and told a black audience Friday his election would create a &#8216;transformation\u2019 of U.S. race relations. However, political analysts and prominent black leaders observing the 2008 presidential race say Mr. Obama&#8230;has not locked up the community\u2019s vote.\u2019 That\u2019s all we\u2019ve been telling you. What do you mean? You don\u2019t need analysts for this. We\u2019ve been telling you this for months. He\u2019s not yet perceived to be &#8216;down for the struggle\u2019. He doesn\u2019t have roots to the struggle, the civil rights struggle. &#8221;He\u2019s not running for president of black America, but for all of America, but he has to be particularly sensitive not to lose out on this crucial voting bloc,\u2019 said political consultant Morris Reid, managing director at the Westin Rinehart Group. <\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Most African-American candidates running for president thus far have not had such a mainstream message.&#8221; Uh, see, this is bogus. There\u2019s nothing &#8216;mainstream\u2019 about Obama\u2019s message. He\u2019s a full-fledged tax-and-spend liberal, and he would have the US surrender on the war on terror. &#8216;Mr. Obama is a much different candidate than the Rev. Al Sharpton, who ran in 2004, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who ran twice in the 1980s, Mr. Reid said. He would be wise to continue trying to be a candidate for everyone instead of getting pigeonholed as the candidate only concerned about minority rights. Mr. Obama mastered this idea by giving a &#8216;non-answer\u2019 to a question about reparations during last week\u2019s debate, Mr. Reid said. &#8216;If you want him to do what Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson did, you don\u2019t want him to be a winning candidate,\u2019 said Mr. Reid, who is hosting a fundraiser soon for Mrs. Clinton.\u2019 (Laughing) The expert they went and found to comment on Obama is hosting a fundraiser for Hillary! (Laughing.) You gotta love this. (Laughing.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is from the Washington Times today: &#8216;Sen.
