Harry Reid on Obama

According to Harry Reid, Barack Obama’s success stemmed partly from his ability to not sound like such a darkie.

According to the new book "Game Change," Reid "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.

Of course, he’s not the first to say so. Vice President Biden is, you’ll remember, is a big fan of clean and articulate blacks, too.

Somehow Democrats get a pass on this kind of stuff. Republicans lose their jobs for less. I guess as long as you vote to keep the welfare and abortions flowing freely, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will keep their mouths shut.
