We have to break through it..." - Senator Barack Obama

But the more you shook your head at it, the more it seemed to have taken root deep in the lizard part of the white nervous system. Obama is not an American. He says he's Christian, but he has a Muslim-sounding name. He's not black, he's not white. . . . Is . . . is he even human?

She admitted that her assumption that this black man has children he doesn’t support was racist, but said “What I said is racist, but I am not a racist.” Later, I asked Mr. Robinson if he’d ever encountered this type of incivility in Colorado before. “Yes, as a black Republican, absolutely. These people don’t even realize that Martin Luther King was a Republican too. That’s why I was standing there on that step, while the rest of the tea partiers were down on the street."

"I believe his vested interests are in white Americans," said Charlette Stoker Manning, chair of Women in NAACP. "You cannot possibly talk about jobs for black people at the level he's coming from. He's talking about entrepreneurship, savings accounts — black people can barely find a way to get back and forth from work." Pointing to what she sees as Romney's lack of interaction with the poor African-Americans, Manning added, "It's such a big gap in what he's attempting to sell us."

WALSH: On the other hand, I think President Obama is probably going to be kind of lucky on this one. The ruling helps him politically, but also his opponents are such incredible disarray.
