Picture Sarah Palin saying the same thing and what the reaction of the media and of other black politicians would have been. Sheila Jackson Lee is calling people racist when they just disagree with Obama; you don't think this would have been an issue if the Biden was Republican? Keep dreaming.

Your statement is a bit racist. You can't think of any "mainstream" African-American who was "good looking" and "articulate" before Obama, either? Really? How about Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Bill Cosby, Colin Powell, etc. Think again about what you said.
