"You People"

Bubba Clinton was in South Carolina after his wife decided South Carolina didn't matter. According to press reports, Clinton said, "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here."

Alright, I get the theme, Black people are all the same. Well, there are some significant differences between Obama's 55-27 victory over Clinton, and Jackson's caucus victory in '84 and '88.

1) Jackson was a native of South Carolina, native sons quite often do better than other challengers, as was seen in 2004 when John Edwards won against John Kerry.

2) Jackson's opponents were Dukakis and Gore, not a President and his First Lady who (up until a couple of days ago) were immensely popular among Democrats in South Carolina, and across the country.

3) In November, Hillary Clinton was nearly 20 points ahead of Obama in the polls. Does Clinton presume that African Americans just noticed that Barack Obama was Black in the last few weeks?

I knew the Clintons would attempt to dismiss the results in South Carolina as a hollow victory because South Carolina had a high black population; I didn't see Obama do the same thing because New Hampshire is one of the whitest states in the union.

I don't know if Black voters will be offended by their disrespect, but I know as a white man, the underlying context of his statement, that what black voters, or young voters, think doesn't matter; is quite infuriating.
