This one kinda gives me the creeps….
RNC chair: Media didn’t vet Obama because of race

If this was a white guying saying this it would definitely be over the line. The press was obviously in the tank for Obama. Race might have been factor but they loved him mostly because he ran a far left progressive campaign as a Dem and he’s young and photogenic. They did give him a pass but I really don’t see this as a racial issue and I think it’s in poor taste to try to make it one.

So, if he was a white guy with equal speaking abilities and shaded past, he would have gotten an equal pass from the MSM? What is wrong with saying his race played a huge part in his success and also the way the press handled him with kid gloves? Because that is exactly what happened. Most of the press did not go after Obama because they were afraid they would have been called a racist. You think that is not true?
