(297,782 posts)Clinton is not black, nor does she have a black spouse and black children, which Obama used

"Clinton didnt equivocate to the audience here as to whether she was on Obamas side or not. And she ripped Republicans namely Jeb Bush on Friday for saying they want to repeal Obamacare, snipping at the name of Bushs political action committee, to some of her most enthusiastic applause."

"Clinton certainly played to the affinity that voters have for Obama, even alluding to the eulogy of South Carolina State Sen. Clementa Pinckney, in which Obama sang Amazing Grace. Said Clinton, Obama delivered a eulogy that sounded like it had come straight from angels.
But Clinton more than held her own with this audience, 95% of whom voted for Obama. I thought she was more comfortable than Ben Carson, Jones said. And hes black.
