Shockingly I whole-heartedly agree with the above... but I also feel that way about Country & Western and Dance music...

If she wanted to reflect the fact that he was a father, how about "Your new senator, a great husband and father, Barack Obama!" I don't think this is a race thing, its a stereotype thing. Its something that is generally said by black mothers about the father of their child (who isn't her husband), and those women often aren't what black people want to portray on a national stage. There were a couple of black friends of mine there while we watched it happen, and they both cringed. If my white senator got up and said something like "well yall, shucks, its mighty fine to be representin yall up there in big ole Washington D.C." I'd cringe. Maybe literacy isn't your greatest skill, but you might wanna go back and read what I've said about Obama the last couple of pages. Oh wait, I probably only mention the good things because he's part white right? On a side note, you're a moron.
Sorry but your both coming across as morons - reading more into a simple statement because of your (both of you) fixation on "race" as a somehow all-defining characteristic. It's actually quite sad to see both of you twisting an innocent statement around until it fits into your racially defined worlds...

Get over it - just let it go - Damn, so much talk over an innocent statement... a statement that I thought was pretty common coming from the mother of a baby/young kid - you know on that overly-cute, lovey-dovey sorta way, that "new" parents have (or at least until the kid hits 10 or so).

Why not get back to actually debating his qualifications and how they relate to any presidential asspirations he might have?
