Certainly not as bad as Harry's comment, but certainly racist in tone.

Maybe he thought Obama was poor because he wasn't Husky like Bill and Ted.
Racist and elitist. In spite of his claims, Clinton was not the first black candidate.

You notice there is no direct quote either. Typical.

A few years ago, Obama was not "an equal" to Bill Clinton. I don't see how it's racist to acknowledge that.

IF you had even the slightest clue as to the meaning of blatant you'd know a private back-room politicking phone call between 2 individuals isn't even within miles of being close to blatant action by a political party.

Once again, your complete distortion if not outright misrepresentation of fact.

BIG THUMBS DOWN!

Taken with all the other "racial" trouble Clinton was getting into during the campaign, and getting called on it by his fellow democrats, his comment fits perfectly with his attitude towards blacks that was exposed during the campaign.

In what way was Obama not equal to Clinton?

I KNOW, we all heard about things we shouldn't have known about during the Lewinsky stuff.

To me (and I bet to most of us), this thread is only more confirmation that some people are desperate to tear down Obama and Democrats.

Surely Republicans can come up with something better than this, can't they? (although watching Michael Steele lately, I'm not so sure...)
