This is the first Candidate I have ever seen that has exempted him self and his friends or family members touring on his behalf, from anything they say? They take no responsibility for anything they say or have done...and if someone should dare say anything they are Racist!
Obama does seem to be a control freak. Do it his way or hit the highway. Now this may or may not be a good quality for a president. That is debatable. I don't really sense though that Obama uses the race card much at all. Only when he's caught completely off guard and is livid.
