Like with most of the things the President interjects himself into, he just highlights his own incompetence.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Yeah. As someone who voted for Obama and would do so again, this is embarrassing.

C'mon guys. It's sounding very "I'm not a racist, I swear!" in here.

There are more important things for him to be focusing on, I think. That said, I think you're right. *NM*

People do forget that he's only half black - and more importantly, not "African American" at all.

I'm not saying he hasn't. In fact, I've said too many times in this thread that he has.
