At the outset of the 1992 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton introduced herself to the nation on “60 Minutes” with the false claim that her defense of her husband in the face of allegations of his womanizing was not a case of “stand by your man.” Now, Barack Obama’s wife apparently has introduced herself to the American people on the same show with the ludicrous claim that “as a black man, Barack can get shot going to the gas station.”
Hillary was lying; Mrs. Obama must just be a fool. The fact is that, but for his race, no one would even consider Barack Obama presidential material in 2008. So it does not behoove his wife to pretend that he is Martin Luther King and the U.S. is Memphis in 1968.
