Ferraro: Obama is lucky he's black

The Daily Kos reports on a quote from Geraldine Ferraro:

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.

In 1984,if Geraldine Ferraro where a white man with 3 terms in Congress from New York: Mr. White Guy wouldn't have been picked.
