Kerry: Obama Can Bridge Divide With Islam “Because He’s A Black Man”?

MSNBC reports:

Speaking of the race speech from Tuesday, Obama supporter John Kerry gave an interview with a local N.H. paper, reports NBC/NJ’s Mike Memoli. In it, Kerry said the color of Obama’s skin makes him uniquely qualified for president and even reach out to the moderate Islam world.

…The Massachusetts senator said Obama has an ability to perhaps even empower moderate Islam “to be able to stand up against the racial misinterpretation of a legitimate religion.” Asked by a reporter what gave Obama the credibility to do so, Kerry said, “Because he’s African American.

    John Kerry is the dumbest person ever. It’s amazing that, even though humans have created a “survival of the fittest” defeating civilization, that Kerry hasn’t fallen victim to “natural selection.”

    “oppression and repression”…you mean like attending the finest schools including Harvard…thank God this dumbass isn’t the president.

  3. Bill says:

    These “elitists” don’t even go through the “natural selection” or “competition” process. The “silver spoon” and “privelidge” is rampant. Not to mention the “family trees” which don’t have as many branches. And this isn’t just Democrats.

  4. Bill says:

    Even though these folks are “groomed” from a young age if you saw them in a dirty pickup truck or tried to have a day-to-day conversation with them you might find yourself wishing for that 30 seconds of your life back.

  5. Bill says:

    Make that 27 seconds.
