Clinton Entitlement

I will never forget how excited I was when Geraldine Ferraro was chosen as Mondale's vice presidential choice. I even went to a rally she held in Seattle, cheered and thrilled to see proof that my feminist activism was worth it.
It's no surprise that as a status quo Democrat, she's a key operative and surrogate for Hillary Clinton's campaign.
But here's a key example of how that campaign plans to win:
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she continued. "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept." Ferraro does not buy the notion of Obama as the great reconciler.


Oh, really. If he were white like the affable, not notoriously successful governor of a small Southern state like Bill Clinton. Or the go-along-to-get-along Senator from Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy.
Really, Gerri, you do your candidate no favors with stuff like this.
