After Obama’s win in South Carolina over the weekend, Bill Clinton said something along the lines of, “Big Whoop!  Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in 1984 and 1988.”  When I first heard him say it, I just kind of rolled my eyes and went on, but boy he has got some people HOT over it.  I got home from church yesterday and my significant other (SO) had on some news show talking about how Bill Clinton went too far, he’s a racist, he’s going to split the Democratic party.  Then, we heard references to it on CNN.  But, here’s the thing – Obama didn’t just get the black vote in SC.  He got the majority of the white vote as well – something Jesse Jackson failed to do.  Obama isn’t running on his race.  It is the Clintons and the media who keep making an issue out of his race.  Many are speculating that it was Bill Clinton’s in bad taste remarks that motivated the Kennedys to get into it by endorsing Obama.  Here’s hoping it will continue to backfire on them.
