Jacob Weisberg must have been feeling feisty when he wrote this article declaring that racism is the only thing that can prevent Barack Obama from defeating John McCain. Aside from the fact that this broad view of American citizens is terribly hurtful and offensive, and setting to the side his overwhelming affection for Senator Obama as illustrated throughout the article (”Obama has built a crack political operation, raised record sums, and inspired millions with his eloquence and vision”), it is too broad a claim to make when the converse shows us that McCain is a tough leader, which Americans appreciate, with a long record of working hard for the American public and the Arizonan republic while Obama is a socialite of sorts who has not achieved anything as an American Senator. There’s “one reason” that McCain can beat Obama and I’m sure I can think of more but “Racism is the Only Reason McCain Might Beat Him” parodies itself.
