Andrea Mitchell called it like it is -- racism. |
|
She said "no White President would ever have been put through this" Gotta give her props -- lots of commentators won't even whisper the word.

3. She'd better be nice to Obama |
|
He's probably the only reason her husband isn't sitting his bony ass in jail for his part in causing the current recession.
Whatever reason, I was happy to hear what she said.

7. I read that here as well. |

To the OP: When she said it, I was happy to hear it. Andrea isn't one of my favorites, but I appreciate that she called it what it is.

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
