George Will tells us in the Tribune Senator "Obama's candidacy fascinates because he represents radical autonomy: He has chosen his racial identity but chosen not to make it matter much". Clarence Page proclaims also in the Tribune"Obama an escape from politics of race". Gideon Rachman in the Financial Times decides that "The fact that Iowa - an overwhelmingly white state - could vote for Obama seemed to have put the race question to bed" Edward Blum in the National Review deciphers for us "Sen. Obama, so far, has prudently not predicated his candidacy as a racial metaphor"

Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ I suppose, but couldn’t one of the guys write something that wasn’t spoon fed to them by the Obama PR staff?

As Christopher Hitchens chides "There's something pathetic and embarrassing about our obsession with Barack Obama's race."
