While I don't always agree policy wise, what he had Gibbs say yesterday was fantastic. The statement that the Whitehouse doesn't think race plays a major role in opposition to his programs will go a long way to marginalising those who are racist and negate the corrosive effect of those who would Nopartisannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-64395599348721542682009-09-17T07:48:03.458-04:002009-09-17T07:48:03.458-04:00Do you really think Carter is sincere?

In the context of what he was saying, he mentioned Obama when he was a child being raised by a working mom, so the word <i>"boy"</i> in this case wasn't intended as the usual racist pejorative. Granted, it wasn't the wisest choice of words, but I'm sure you can see that it wasn't meant to be any sort of a putdown. <br /><br />Good to seeCT Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334232414964958641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-22116259699009591152009-09-16T21:34:10.532-04:002009-09-16T21:34:10.532-04:00Flashback Video: Carter referred to Obama as '...Flashback Video: Carter referred to Obama as 'this black boy' <br /><br />http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/watercooler/2009/sep/16/flashback-video-carter-referred-obama-black-boy/Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11940394016528488881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-15879208478759233842009-09-16T17:34:42.710-04:002009-09-16T17:34:42.710-04:00No partisan, I couldn't agree with you more.
