Geraldine Ferraro has relinquished her position on the Clinton campaign after causing a firestorm with her remarks that Sen. Barack Obama is only where he is politically because he is a black man.

After making her remarks in an interview with the local paper in Torrance, Calif., Ferraro further defended them on television, saying she had been celebrating the outpouring of support Obama received from black voters. Even though Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has distanced herself from the remarks, Ferraro did not back away from them. She wrote a letter to Clinton announcing her decision to move on.
“I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign,” Ferraro wrote. “The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you. I won’t let that happen.”
