"But try mocking Obama just once by saying "Otay!" or "Yo, lemme axe you sumpin'" and see what the response is."

"Common_cents" - if you don't understand how your own words exhibit racism, then don't expect anyone to take you seriously. Palin has said numerous times "you betcha" and other faux folksy things. But you've never once heard Obama say either of the childish statements you cite... heck outside of "Buckwheat" and Eddie Murphy - you've never heard a black person say "Otay". That's only a racist figment of your imagination.

As for some of the other ridiculous notions. Following the "logic" exhibited - Alan Keyes would've won, Michael Steele would've won... any number of African american republicans would've garnered at least a little support just because of their color... and no white politician would've ever gotten votes from the black community.

Except the entire premise is false... get a grip
