Senator Barack Obama’s political success thus far has been a blow for equality. But equality has its down side.

Equality means that a black demagogue who has been exposed as a phony deserves exactly the same treatment as a white demagogue who has been exposed as a phony.

We don’t need a president of the United States who got to the White House by talking one way, voting a very different way in the Senate, and who for 20 years followed a man whose words and deeds contradict Obama’s carefully crafted election-year image.

That Mitt Romney’s church used to not allow blacks to be ministers proved that Romney was a de facto racist but now they argue Obama’s close personal friend and mentor’s hateful racist anti-Semitic ranting mean nothing?
