Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime, a new book about the 2008 presidential campaign is creating turmoil in the Democrat party. Much of the world has already heard about Senator Harry Reid’s (D-NV) remarks about “negro dialect” but far fewer have heard about President Clinton’s remarks. According to the book, President Clinton made disparaging remarks about then Senator Obama (D-IL) when discussing him with the late Senator Kennedy (D-MA). The book says that

Clinton told Kennedy that he should not support Obama because “a few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.” This supposedly so angered Senator Kennedy that he decided to support Obama.

As you might imagine, this book is full of interesting, behind the scenes facts about the 2008 election and the men and women who participated in it. It will also clearly show how deceitful the Democrat party really is.

I could not find video of the Governor apologizing today, but here is a cli that perhaps shows his only talent:

Although Reid apologized to President Obama, who gracefully accepted the apology, this incident shows the double standard that liberals have. If a Democrat says something that is rascist and harkens back to the 50s, it is alright. If a Republican says something that is offensive in even a minor way they immediately call for a resignation.

President Obama said of the incident, “I accepted Harry’s apology without question because I’ve known him for years, I’ve seen the passionate leadership he’s shown on issues of social justice, and I know what’s in his heart.” Maybe he should have instead used it as an opportunity to discuss the fact that further progress needs to be made. He should also have called for Reid’s resignation.

When I look at President Obama, I do not see a Black man or African-American man, I see a misguided, intelligent and arrogant man who wants to pass legislation against the wishes of the electorate. If the American people were so concerned over his color, he would not have won the election. It is his policies that are making him lose support from everyone—not just conservatives.

Maureen likens Representative Joe Wilson’s (R-SC) outburst, “You Lie!” as more like, “You lie, boy!” She goes on to write:

I’ve been loath to admit that the shrieking lunacy of the summer — the frantic efforts to paint our first black president as the Other, a foreigner, socialist, fascist, Marxist, racist, Commie, Nazi; a cad who would snuff old people; a snake who would indoctrinate kids — had much to do with race.

We all know that both these statement are not true. Wilson was frustrated by the fact that there were real lies in Obama’s speech. I have already written here that the outburst violated decorum, but it certainly had noting to do with race. Maureen, you know better than that. Saying that in your column is as offensive to me as my headline for this post calling you a “silly white girl” is to you—something I know is not true.

Maureen Dowd, however, is not silly. She is far more dangerous than silly because she is calculating. She figures she can silence the majority that is opposed to Obama’s agenda by calling us racists. She claims in her column that “Democratic presidents typically have provoked a frothing response from paranoids.” Really? How about all the liberal conspiracy theorists that claimed that Bush and Cheney masterminded 9-11?

Maureen worships at the Obama altar. It is sad that an intelligent person could be so smitten by someone else. Near the end of her diatribe she writes, “It may be President Obama’s very air of elegance and erudition that raises hackles in some.” Oh, really? I think it is his disrespect for the wishes of the American people that raises hackles in many.
