How is it that an inexperienced junior Senator from what is widely regarded as one of the most corrupt cities in the U.S. is now the Democrat candidate for President? How is it that a serious leftist like Obama has people swooning in cultish ecstasy? How is it that he leads among white, college aged men?
Simple answer: white guilt.
You have people who have been told all their lives that they have an inescapable original sin of being white, and that they must do everything in their power to overcome that sin. Heck, I'm not even innocent on this front: for years I pushed the idea of a Condoleeza Rice Presidency for the simple fact that Republicans could "one up" the Democrats by having the first black, female candidate.
Now I don't care what color, gender or religion a person is or is not but what in their resume makes them qualified for the most important job in the world.
And Obama is not that candidate.
But, he will probably get in because some white folk still desperately want to apologize for slavery, racism, Jim Crow even though they had nothing to do with it.
