    indigo try to be objective

    MO told SC voters during campaign that they were one of them so they should vote for them...yeah it worked! But then Bill got lynched to say the obvious that blacks voted for O for kinship reason, first and foremost.

    That's what disgusts me about this primary and drive me away from any affinity toward Obama.

    --------------------------

    Bill got "lynched" by his own words and actions, not because of Michelle Obama. Bill also called Obama's vote against the Iraq war a "fairy tale" and hinted that since Jesse Jackson won SC when he ran that Obama's win wasn't as important. These perceived slights from their OWN campaign doomed her in future elections. All she wanted to talk about the "hard working Americans, white Americans" and forgot about the most loyal demo she had when the race started, namely black voters. It seems you are trying to do the same thing that she did and it's disturbing and inaccurate.
