…was an aside in a Nicholas Kristof column discussing the alarming number of Americans who believe Obama is a Muslim, or possibly Satan. Writes Kristof:
Just imagine for a moment if it were the black candidate in this election, rather than the white candidate, who was born in Central America, was an indifferent churchgoer, had graduated near the bottom of his university class, had dumped his first wife, had regularly displayed an explosive and profane temper, and had referred to the Pakistani-Iraqi border …
That candidate, almost certainly, wouldn’t have made it as far as Obama.
