our ongoing series: You're Not Helping (the black guy and the lady)



"We begin tonight with a special campaign edition of our ongoing series: You're Not Helping. First, non-helper Geraldine Ferraro, the 1984 Democratic vice presidential nominee and longtime woman, is a Hillary Clinton supporter, and honorary finance chairwoman who said 'If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is.' I'll say, to be that dynamic, charismatic, to be leading in the popular vote, talk about luck ... hmm? 

[on screen: Stewart puts his finger to his ear]. Oh, she meant because he's black. Oh. He's lucky to be black. Well, that's lucky too. I mean, 40 acres AND a mule, I mean. You know, for most people that's an either/or. Please can we stop making this campaign about race and patriotism and different candidate supporters and get back to focusing on what it's about -- the black guy and the lady." --Jon Stewart
