Ok, so he doesn’t really say that he supports Obama.  However, he very much defends Obama’s handling of the recent “scandal” with Reverand Wright.  Card made a very poignant argument for how Obama separated himself from Wright’s comments, but not the person.

Do you want as President the kind of person who would deny and abandon his closest friends in order to win that political office?

Very well said, Mr. Card.

Further down the article, he analyzes the senior theses of both Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.  A very interesting read with solid insight into who these two ladies are.  One a former First Lady.  The other hoping to be the next First Lady.

I highly recommend reading the article.
