Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Mary Mitchell, as I recall, did speak to this in one of her articles. I think Mrs. Obama gives a great image boost for Sen. Obama because of the anxiety about successful AfAm men dating/mating outside the race.

Frankly, Obama's choice of a wife was one of the things that impressed me about him, esp since his own mother is white.
As far as Ford and his supposed comments, something seems very fishy to me. He was a speaker at a past Delta Convention and I really enjoyed his presentation. He is an Alpha, right?
