Obama likes to say that he is a uniter:
Obama Says He Can Unite U.S. 'More Effectively' Than Clinton
MANCHESTER, N.H., Aug. 14 -- Drawing a sharp contrast with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, his main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama said in an interview that he has the capacity she may lack to unify the country and move it out of what he called "ideological gridlock."
"I think it is fair to say that I believe I can bring the country together more effectively than she can," Obama said. "I will add, by the way, that is not entirely a problem of her making. Some of those battles in the '90s that she went through were the result of some pretty unfair attacks on the Clintons. But that history exists, and so, yes, I believe I can bring the country together in a way she cannot do. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be running."
But if Obama is such a uniter, why does he permit his supporters to say that anyone who doesn't vote for him, is a racist? For example:
He not only permits them to say it - he personally led the way, in December of 2006. From Sisu:
"Are some voters not going to vote for me because I'm African-American? Those are the same voters who probably wouldn't vote for me because of my politics," Barack Obama told ecstatic New Hampshire voters yesterday. Being one of those voters who probably wouldn't vote for him because of his politics, we were naturally offended at his suggestion that people like us are racists.
His claim to be a uniter is shown to be incorrect, because under his leadership his supporters are using this extremely divisive strategy.
