Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) is once again drawing attention for making controversial
comments in an interview for an Arab television network.

"A lot of people in this country, I believe, don't want to be governed by an African American,
particularly one who is inclusive, who is liberal, who wants to spend money on everyone
and who wants to reach out to include everyone in our society"

Here's a link to the article.


Apparently that's what liberal representatives in Congress think of the American people.

I wouldn't care of the person were blue, I wouldn't want anyone with any of the other characteristics (with the exception of being inclusive, which Obama is most definitely not!) he mentioned governing our country. There's always going to be some jackwagons in the world. Can't be helped.

Umm, it's true. Obviously they aren't a majority, and there were plenty of people who opposed him for political reasons rather than racial biases, but I'd agree that there are a lot of people in this country who didn't want a black president. I see nothing to get upset about re: this individual's comments.

Jim Moran is a moron! He is a poor excuse for a congressman!

As I read through the posts on CD it's obvious thats how most libs feel about America. Unless you buy everything this president peddles, you're just an uneducated, redneck racist.

His last name is very appropriate for how he acted. Just needs an 'o' instead of the 'a'.

Wanting to reach everyone in our society and spend money on everything isn't good governing. It might make a good church pastor or neighborhood outreach individual, but that's about it.

He's not just an individual he's a US congressman. And that's how he wants the Arab world to perceive us.

I don't know. Obama started with the goodwill of most Americans, an approval rating around 70%...and then when he began to govern, shove unpopular legislation down our throats, implementing his radical leftist agenda...most realized they had been duped, bamboozled and hoodwinked.

Of course, some of us knew from the get go what he really was and it had nothing to do with his race.

These dems just can't understand how a center right nation would be alarmed and angry about a president trying to force a leftist radical agenda down our throats.

Well, they sure did find out Nov 2010 just how much radicalism this nation would take.
