Does Racism in America Still Exist?

Would Barack Obama still be a presidential candidate if . . .

1. Barack had an affair while he was still married to the mother of his kids?
2. Barack divorced his wife to marry his mistress?
3. Barack had graduated fifth from the bottom of his class (894/898)?
4. Michelle was addicted to pain killers?
5. Michelle was having a physician write illegal prescriptions to support her drug habit?
6. Michelle had gone to 6 colleges in 6 years? or
7. Michelle's daughter was pregnant at 17?

So why is it that a candidate who . . .

1. was raised by an 18 year old single mom
2. graduated from Columbia University & Harvard Law School magna cum laude;
3. was the editor-in-chief of the Harvard Law Review;
4. taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for 12 years; and
5. has been faithfully married to his wife for 16 years;

. . . is the one whose qualifications are being challenged? Hmm.
