Obama plays the race card.

Obama:
“You know, when we had a debate back in Iowa a while back, we spent, I think, the first 15 minutes of the debate hitting me on various foreign policy issues. And I didn't come out and say, ‘Look, I'm being hit on because I look different from the rest of the folks on the stage.’”

Cunning way of saying "Don't taze me bro, I'm black!!"

Not to mention Hillary never said she was being hit on ("hit on", nice one) because she was a woman. She said Presidential politics has been an "all-boys club", and thus far it has. Simple statement, and a fact. How is that twisted into her "hiding behind her gender" or saying that she's being "picked on" because she's a woman?

So, to his credit (Obama believes, anyway) he didn't come out and complain after Iowa that he was being "hit on" because he is black. Does that mean he thinks he WAS being hit on because he's black? Sounds like it.
