Hillary Clinton's suggestion that white people won't vote for Barack Obama is ridiculous. Obama's mother was white -- just as white as my mother. White people have just as much claim to Obama as black people.

Remember before the primary season when pundits were maintaining that black people wouldn't vote for Obama because he wasn't black enough? That quickly turned out to be false.

Now Clinton and others would like us to believe that white people won't vote for Obama because he isn't white enough. They're going to find out that that's not true, either!
