This is what happens when you’re a Democrat. For the first time in her public life Geraldine Ferraro, the former running-mate of Walter Mondull (who lost to Ronald Reagan in one of the largest landslides in American history), finally voices an opinion that is 100% accurate. Democrats respond with outrage and Ferraro must resign her job on the Clinton campaign. And these people wonder why nobody takes them seriously.
In comments to the Torrance (Cal.) Daily Breeze, Ferraro said, “If Barack Obama were a white man, would we be talking about this as a potential real problem for — for Hillary? If he were a woman of any color, would he be in this position that he’s in? Absolutely not.”
Ferraro is angry that the Obama campaign is accusing her of being racist, as she should be. She was also very upfront about her own candidacy in 1984, saying, “In 1984, if my name were Gerard Ferraro instead of Geraldine Ferraro I would never have been the nominee for vice president.”
Is it really controversial to say that a young candidate with no experience, who has never governed in his life, who has no achievements in almost three years in the Senate, who has expressed no specifics on his plan to govern the country, who has the most liberal voting record in the Senate this year, and whose spouse hates America… is it really controversial to say that no woman with that resume would ever sniff getting nominated for President by a major party? Is it even controversial to say that no white person would get nominated with that bio? Seriously, name me one nominated candidate in the last 100 years who was less qualified to be President of the United States. There are none.
Barack Obama is so uniquely un-qualified that he makes Hillary Clinton look experienced in comparison. As my wife pointed out, Obama could easily point out that Hillary would not be in this position if she hadn’t married a president, been cheated on multiple times, moved to New York and become a moderately more active senator than Obama has been.
This is a liberal fantasy: affirmative action in a presidential election. How long have they fought in favor of race-based (racist) policies that ensure that unqualified people get the opportunities they “deserve”? Now we have it on a large scale.
It’s not like it’s a big deal, just the presidency of our country.
