I was an avid McCain supporter, and while I was a little surprised by his comment when I heard it, I think it was just an attempt at humor and poking some fun at himself. I didn't make any big deal of it.

I know there are a few here who think this "mutt business" is a big deal. I guess I'm too insensitive, because I'm not seeing it. When Jeff Foxworthy calls himself a redneck, I don't see too many people getting worked up abut it. Apples and oranges - racial versus cultural?

 

Do you think I can qualify under affirmative action for being a redneck?

Is this really an issue?

 

No.

For the record, I know many people of different races. I don't really know any who would be upset by what Obama said.

 

Shania Twain. I'm sure she has ill feelings toward the word Mutt!:lol:

Is this really an issue?

 

Not even a little bit. Just people beginning to nit-pick at issues that aren't even there. :irked:

It seems like LBBC you are trying to make something out of nothing. In general that is a problem I see. People are too sensitive and take offense to too much stuff in this country.
