Jan. 8, 2010 - The Hypocrite in Chief
It is being reported that President Obama's decided to forgive Harry Reid's remarks about Obama's skin color and lack of a "Negro dialect." Interesting. See what Obama said about Trent Lott in 2002:
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D-13th), who hosted WVON's Cliff Kelley Show, challenged the Republican Party to repudiate Lott's remarks and to call for his resignation as senate leader.
"It seems to be that we can forgive a 100-year-old senator for some of the indiscretion of his youth, but, what is more difficult to forgive is the current president of the U.S. Senate (Lott) suggesting we had been better off if we had followed a segregationist path in this country after all of the battles and fights for civil rights and all the work that we still have to do," said Obama.
He said: "The Republican Party itself has to drive out Trent Lott. If they have to stand for something, they have to stand up and say this is not the person we want representing our party."
--From the December 12, 2002 issue of the Chicago Defender.
Who will drive out Harry Reid? The Nevada electorate next November.
BTW - I'm sure Obama's (and Clinton's) speech to the NAACP convention from the 2008 campaign trail will be replayed on the Limbaugh or Hannity show on Monday. Listen closely to the invoked dialect. It's offensive.
Hail to the Hypocrite In Chief.

careful - you'll be on some "list" soon.
As an update, 60 Minutes did a profile on the book that details Reid's comments last night. No where in the 20 minutes were Reid's comments discussed. They did find time to slam Sarah Palin, AGAIN.
Harry Reid is OUT next November if not earlier.
