"Ani
Col. Allen West delivered a powerful smackdown to candidate Obama during the primaries when Obama was doing all of the race-baiting ("not the face you are used to see on the dollar bill," etc. etc.):
"My advice to Senator Obama is to run as a Man and Leader, and the American people will evaluate you as such, not as a victim. This is a Presidential race, based solely on a capacity to lead the United States of America. It is not about skin tone…however, perhaps we should come to expect these immature statements.
It also seems rather humorous that the Presidential candidate who was supposed to be such a "uniter" and transcend race is the one talking about it the most. If Senator Obama was confident in his abilities and character, he would not need to create a crutch for failure. Senator Obama has just tipped his hand, any criticism of him and his policies will be directly attributed to racism. I congratulate Senator Obama for taking race relations in America back some 30 years."
I think candidate West said it all. Considering West made this statement two years ago, look at how prescient it was... "
