I know what Joe Biden was trying to say, I grew up in Mississippi a long, long time ago. Folks back then referred to a black person who possessed those four characteristics as being "a credit to his race." That comment is right on the mark, and Barack Obama definitely is that, indeed. Too bad we can't say the same thing about poor old Joe.
Actually Obama may very well be elected the first black to serve in the White House, but many people will vote against him because of his color. Right now the problem with his color is not that he is too black but that he is seen by many as being too green.
