"in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country"

Posted by David (aka David) Jan 14 '10, 08:02

I'd like to hear an explanation wherein that isn't racist. Really, I would.

Responses:

It draws from the Reid controversy, but the intent is to call the President racist by ascribing to him a motive - TWuG Jan 14, 08:09
I listened to that snippet and it's the first I've heard him in a long time. - Jim Jan 14, 08:03 1
- which is the beauty of the whole situation...his life's work undone. -- nm - David Jan 14, 08:13
That's clearly an ironic comment on the Harry Reid scandal. -- nm - Ender Jan 14, 08:03

- Obviously, but come on - - this is about a serious humanitarian disaster. Why bother to trivialize and politicize it so cynically when thousands - Diva Jan 14, 08:09 24
  - well, consider the source. - znufrii Jan 14, 08:11
  - And he busts Obama's balls for taking 3 days to address the bomber guy at Christmas time...but he's on the airwaves immediately after this... - Jim Jan 14, 08:10 22
    - well in the case of an Earthquake, you don't have to investigate which terrorist group is responsible. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 08:16 1
      - Bah, investigations shminshmeshtigations ... Heh. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 14, 08:18
    - I thought Obama was all over the bomber thing when it happened. -- nm - Loyola Jan 14, 08:13 18
      - Three days faster than Bush responded to the Richard Reid situation, in fact. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 08:15 1
        
        I'm not here to talk about the past. -- nm - Rush McGwire Jan 14, 08:16
      - Around 3 days to hold a press conference versus the 6 Bush took to talk about the shoe bomber - TWuG Jan 14, 08:15 13
        
        I think any Prez, red or blue, that delays even 2 days to reassure the nation deserves criticism. -- nm - Loyola Jan 14, 08:19
        
        well now, let's not let facts get in the way of good ol' Democrat bashing... -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 08:16 11
        
        i despised Bush, but, an action should be judged on whether it's the right or wrong thing to do. Period. - Andie Jan 14, 08:21 10

        Jack, remember when we tried to explain this concept to znufrii for like the entirety of campaign season? - TFox Jan 14, 08:36 2

        I think I was far fromthe worst offender in that regard. -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 09:02
        
        The point is not that one was right and one was wrong. It's "how can you possibly criticize in this situation when you didn't say a word last time?" -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 08:28 5

        OK - to clarify, I don't think Bush did anything wrong in waiting as long to respond as he did. - Reagen Jan 14, 08:34 3
        
        I don't think your IM is completely fair either. Too blanket of a statement. In eight years, I would hope that situations and perspectives change. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 08:56
        
        "Naked partisanship" being Improv Everywhere's next stunt. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 08:43 1

      - As did I. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 14, 08:15 1
        
        I saw him doing a tv thing about it a few weeks back in an open neck shirt. He should get bigger collar shirts, and always do windsor knots on his - Loyola Jan 14, 08:22
    - Singed testicles. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 08:11
