About Barack Obama being elected president in 2008: I didn't think it made some deep statement about America.

I'm in Los Angeles and in, I think it was 1969, LA, which was the third largest city at the time, voted for a black mayor and voted for him four times. He ran twice for governor of California, the largest state in the union, and barely lost both times.

And so I thought a statement was made a long time ago of how fair America is and Obama just came along and benefited from it. [...] According to a 2007 Gallup poll examining prejudice against race, gender, age and religion, Obama had a lower hurdle, an easier path to the White House than his opponents Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, who were far more well funded and far more experienced and far better known.

So don't give me this crap about how Obama somehow made a statement about how fair America is. America has been fair for a very very long period of time and he simply benefited from the changing racial attitudes that Americans have been engaging in for decades.
