Obama is winning because he is black: Hillary Clinton

The first female US vice presidential candidate and a fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton has suggested Democrat Barack Obama only achieved his status in the presidential campaign because he is black. The Obama campaign called on Hillary Clinton on Tuesday to denounce comments.
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position,” Geraldine Ferraro told The Daily Breeze of Torrance, California, in an interview published on Friday.
“And if he was a woman (of any colour) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”
