Speaking of race, Geraldine Ferraro is taking a lot of flack for her comments about Obama.

Along with the Mississippi, her remarks seem to be dominating the news cycle.

In an interview last week, she said: "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

Ferraro, a fundraiser for Clinton and a vice presidential candidate in 1984, has continued to defend her comments and said Clinton has been the victim of a “sexist media.”

What do you think? Do you agree with Ferraro?
