Ferraro
In an interview with the Breeze, Ferraro said, “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color), 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.”
The comment was picked up by political blogs and cable news shows across the country. The Obama campaign held a conference call today to denounce the remark, and Obama surrogates urged Sen. Hillary Clinton to repudiate it.

Ferraro said the Clinton campaign cannot fire her because she is not an adviser.
“It’s impossible to fire somebody who’s not involved with it,” she said.
If it’s impossible to be fired because you don’t work for the campaign, how can you resign?
Dear Hillary –
I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign.
