Better white people.
 

Goldberg is of course right, but is goes much deeper than that.
 

It’s not only [as Goldberg points out] that these whites are trying to show how “un-racist” they are, but more importantly, I believe they are continuing to support Obama for a more important reason: It makes them feel better about themselves.
 

So here’s the bottom line folks:
 

Millions of American spend years in therapy and thousands of dollars in an attempt to get better self esteem, and feel better about themselves.  In addition, millions buy self help books and attend self-help seminars for the same reason.
 

Well now all that is unnecessary; you can achieve all the self-help you’ve ever dreamed of and feel the best you’ve ever felt about yourself within just 10 seconds and free of charge if you’re white.  All you have to do is proclaim your love of Barack Obama.
 

Within ten seconds, like magic, you will feel morally superior, intellectually superior, and spiritually superior to all those neanderthals out there that don’t agree with you.  Your self confidence will swell to a level of arrogance you never even knew exited.
 

It’s amazing.  In my lifetime, I’ve never seen such a political phenomenon.  Of all the things to promise supporters if they elect you, Obama has unwittingly has attracted this monumental support among white voters by giving them something more powerful and more valuable than any proposed tax cuts, or improvements in health care and education.  He’s given them self-improvement.
 

Look out Tony Robbins, Barack Obama is likely to put you out of business.
 

This phenomenon is affecting even clear thinking folks in the media such as Chris Mattthews [who appeared to be having multiple orgasms extolling Obamas ridiculous speech] as well as the millions of level-headed white voters are now [according to polls] not only undisturbed by the Jeremiah Wright fiasco, but are actually defending black racism.
 

Until recently I believed [as did most political folks] that Obama’s support among whites had nothing to do with race.  That like Colin Powell, he was an attractive candidate who just happened to be black. 

Wrong.
 

Turns out to be the just the same old white liberal guild crap.
 

This is of course no reflection whatsoever against Barack Obama.  Just an observation on the emotional shallowness of his white supporters, and why their emotional support of him is so powerful.  He offers them something never offered by any presidential candidate in my lifetime, possibly ever in American history.
 

He offers them superiority.

Again reinforcing what I keep saying: Hillary ain’t that smart:
 

She could have avoided anything embarrassing on those returns [regarding some shady sources of income for her husband] by simply filing individual returns all these years instead of joint returns.  So she saved a few bucks by filing jointly.  Big deal, considering they earned over 100 mill during that period.
 

She knew as soon as she was elected in 2000 that she definitely run in 2008 if Bush was re-elected.  And she didn’t have the smarts to file joint returns?
 

And they have a prenup.

Obama had a a chance to wrap up the Democratic nomination, the general election, and give a speech that would have gone down in history as inspiring as Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” all in one fell swoop
 

He could have done is all so simply and so easily.  Instead of saying how terrible racism has been in the past against blacks, and instead of implying the racism of his white grandmother [for being scared of being mugged by blacks] was somehow the equivalent of the racism of Jeremiah Wright [which is ridiculous], all Obama had to do was to simply state thusly:
 

"Look, I jointed the Trinity United Church as a young man in my 20s because the church helped me find God.  And I've belonged to that church for 23 years because they

have done so much to help black folks empower themselves, and have done so much good work for the black community in Chicago.  However, in retrospect, since I am running for president as the candidate to bring people together and to bring the races together, it was wrong of me to belong to a church that was so racially divisive.  

 
“When Hillary Clinton criticized me for being a man of words and not a man of action, I correctly pointed out that words are sometimes just as important as actions, such when as Martin Luther King said "I Have a Dream" and when Lincoln said  "All Men Are Created Equal."  These were not merely “ words” by King and Lincoln, they were the visions by great  visionaries of the future of America; of how America should be, and in retrospect, would be.  And those words inspired Americans to become better people and inspired America to become a better country.  Because of those words’  inspiration, those visions became reality for America. 

 
Likewise, words can be destructive and be used to divide.  Which is why I was wrong to belong to the Trinity United Church.  I hereby disavow the church completely, and hope that all Americans, black and white, will strongly disavow and no longer accept any racism of bigotry against people of any color, black or white, nor accept any bigotry against America."

Trust me on this folks: Had Obama said that instead of his lame speech, not only would he have wrapped up the Democratic nomination and the general election in one fell swoop, but would have eventually crushed McCain 60-40.  
 

I still may happen, but win or lose, his inability to deal with this issue in an intellectually honest manner shows him to be  [in my never-humble opinion], an intellectual lightweight.  And even more importantly in this presidential campaign, a typical politician
 

White America craves electing a black man president o show that white people have changed and that America is truly a non-racist country.  This is why Barack Obama has been so successful this far, in addition to all his other political and personal attributes. This is also why Colin Powell would have won in a walk had he chosen to run for president in 1996 against Clinton.
 

And I too share that hope to see a black president in my lifetime But is Obama the right black man to take us there?  He may be.
 

Defends black racists.

And for the first time exposes himself as a liar.  Only a week after telling FOX News’  Major Garrett he had never heard Wright say any of these things, and if that he had heard them said repeatedly, he would have quit the church.  He now claimed in this lame speech that, yes, he heard it, but it was not big deal.  Just [as Ralph Kramden used to say] a “mere bag of shells”

And the media’s having orgasms over this speech.  I can’t believe it. 

Take a look at Obama’s speech on youtube, and then watch him with FOX’s Major Garrett.  Look at how unsure and uncertain he is in the FOX interview.  

This guy’s racism against whites is worse than Farakhan’s.  Even Calypso Louie would have enough respect for women not to say something so brazenly racist against a white woman.
