Obama: "Typical White People Are Bigots"

Obama's speech may have briefly done him good in some quarters, but that warm and fuzzy feeling may not last long if he keeps talking like this (h/t Campaign Spot):

610 WIP (Philadelphia) host Angelo Cataldi asked Obama about his Tuesday morning speech on race at the National Constitution Center in which he referenced his own white grandmother and her prejudice. Obama told Cataldi that "The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity, but that she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know (pause) there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."

As Jim says, throwing gasoline on the embers is not such a good idea.
