The twin mantra has been repeated ad infinitum, and it’s dead wrong about Obama and the Presidency. The early hint that race was overblown and over obsessed came from Obama. He didn’t talk about it. For good reason, he was not running as a black Presidential aspirant. He was running as a Presidential aspirant. He had to make that crucial distinction for personal and political purposes. read
