Just what we need, another Jimmy Carter

From what I read, John McWhorter is smarter than anyone I know. He writes

IT is reasonable to surmise that Barack Obama will be the next President.Mr

Obama has a once-in-a-lifetime charisma that Hillary Clinton could

never approximate, and she also suffers from the handicap of not being

black. For all of his other plusses, part of Mr Obama’s appeal lies in

the fact that many whites feel that voting for a black presidential

candidate would be Doing the Right Thing.

If this comes to pass, I predict Barack-O will be overwhelmed by the office, much as Jimmy Carter was.

Tip from the Instapundit.

Update (29 April).  Van DerLeun isn’t amused, and neither is this guy.
