Harry Reid is in trouble because:

A new book about the 2008 campaign quotes Mr. Reid as predicting that Mr. Obama could become the country’s first black president because he was “light-skinned” and had “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

Idiots and opportunists, like the Michael Steele, demand Reid’s resignation because of the “racist” remark.

But read it again. Who is racist?  Harry Reid really says we, the people, are. He isn’t saying Obama’s skin affects his vote but ours.

I don’t mind Harry Reid getting in trouble for calling me a racist.  And I certainly don’t mind the racist sword Democrats have been slashing at everybody who opposes Obama’s union and leftist driven agenda being used on a Democrat or two.

But Harry Reid wasn’t being racist, he was just stupid to say what everybody already knows. If Obama spoke “jive” and had other stereotypical African-American culture mannerisms, he would not have been nominated.  But not because he is black, but because he was too different from the mainstream.  The same would apply to a southern cracker with a deep accent and pinch of skoal in his mouth, or to an effeminate man who was a good singer but a bit too chummy with children.

As to Michael Steele… he acts as if because he is black he can comment more authentically on Reid’s remark.  But his only qualification is as someone who also has said stupid things about large groups of people.

And as to requesting Reid resign… again Steele shows he is politically retarded.  Why stop an opposition politician from self-destructing unless they are doing so in policy, like bad health care laws.  When Reid says dumb things it only hurts him, but replacing him in Nevada with a stronger candidate, we all get hurt.

The GOP continues to NOT impress me with their professional cadre.
