Olbermann responds to Ferraro

Visiting Scott Paeth's site I came across this video response by Keith Olbermann to Geraldine Ferraro's suggestion that Obama's position in the election is due to our fascination with his "blackness." That if it weren't for this fascination we would be lining up to support Hillary.

Now Olbmermann comes across strong here and the Clinton campaign has criticized MSNBC for being "sexist." But sexist or not, he raises important questions about the insertion of race -- sometimes overtly and sometimes subtly in this race. While initially the Clintons sought Black support, they have since Obama's rise, tried to cultivate a different base. Take a look, see what you think, tell me what you think. You know, of course, that I'm an Obama supporter.
