We have had other civil rights leaders who say Obama really isn\u2019t going to be the first black president and the race business will not shut down. This will not mean that there is an end to racism in America, because Obama has no &#8216;slave blood.\u2019 His wife does. Michelle (My Belle) has &#8216;slave blood,\u2019 but Obama does not. So therefore this guy said there really will be no end to race. This has been echoed now by Charles Ogletree, who is a law professor at Harvard. He\u2019s also a top advisor on race issues for Obama. He said that since Obama\u2019s biracial, his election will not prove that racism has receded. &#8216;White America will not vote for blacks,\u2019 Ogletree says. &#8216;Obama\u2019s election is possible only because he\u2019s partly white.\u2019 This is a law professor at Harvard, Charles Ogletree. Let\u2019s go Obama himself last night on The Daily Show. The host says, &#8216;The polls have you up, but then they keep talking about this Bradley Effect, this idea that white voters will lie to the pollsters and then not actually vote for you. What do you say about that?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Yeah, they\u2019ve been saying that for a while, but we\u2019re still here, so I don\u2019t know. I &#8212; I don\u2019t think white voters have gotten this memo about the Bradley Effect.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" class=\"alignright\"\/>HOST: Your mother is, uh, from Kansas. She\u2019s, uh, a &#8212; a white woman, your father, African. Are you concerned that you may go into the voting booth and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: I won\u2019t know what to do!<\/p>\n<p>HOST: Your &#8212; your white half will all of a sudden &#8212; <\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Right!<\/p>\n<p>HOST: &#8212; decide, &#8216;I can\u2019t do this!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: Yeah. Yeah. It\u2019s a problem. I\u2019ve been going through therapy to make sure that I vote properly on the 4th.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So they\u2019re making jokes here about being half white now, but I don\u2019t really think it\u2019s a joke. I think when you find out that Ogletree, an advisor, says (paraphrased), &#8216;He\u2019s not a black guy! He\u2019s half white. That\u2019s why Americans are going to vote for him,\u2019 I think this is all strategic rather than Obama trying to participate here in a joke about himself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Erica Jong, again, tells an Italian newspaper, there will be &#8216;the second American Civil War\u2019 if Obama loses.
