We also know that a certain party (D) tried to block the passage of the Civil Rights Act including a filibuster lead in party by the father of a future VP and Presidential nominee of that party. (Hint: rhymes with Al Snore).
Now we find out that the current Senate majority leader (D) was enthusiastic about Obama because "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect."
On page 37, a remark, said "privately" by Sen. Harry Reid, about Barack Obama's racial appeal. Though Reid would later say that he was neutral in the presidential race, the truth, the authors write, was that his:Not to be outdone, Politico reports that the book contains this little nugget about another one of the party's former Presidents, Bill Clinton (D). Seems in attempting to court Teddy Kennedy's endorsement of his wife, Bill suggested to Teddy that Obama was not far removed from fetching coffee.encouragement of Obama was unequivocal. He was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a "light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one," as he said privately. Reid was convinced, in fact, that Obama's race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for the Democratic nomination.
A]s Hillary bungled Caroline, Bill’s handling of Ted was even worse. The day after Iowa, he phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.So who are the real racists ?? Why anyone who opposes Obama's policies of course!
If this is the Democrat party behind closed doors, I can't even imagine how bad the Republican party must be!
