Michael Steele Accuses Obama, White House Of Racism

Just moments after saying - and partly taking credit - he was in agreement with the White House that criticism to President Obama's policies, mostly by Rep. Joe Wilson, is "not racism," RNC Chairman Michael Steele accuses the White House of racism, regarding President Obama advising New York Gov. David Paterson not to seek reelection and withdraw as a candidate as he might "drag down the party".

"I found that to be stunning," he told Bob Schieffer on "Face The Nation," "that the White House would send word to one of only two black Governors in the country not to run for reelection. It just raised a curious point for me... I find it to be stunning, and also rather bold."

"You don't think he has asked him not to run because he's black," Schieffer asked.

Steele's concern was that there was "so few" black Governors. "It's just a curiosity for me that the White House would inject itself into that debate when I don't think it's appropriate nor necessary."

I am sick of the race card.

The people who accuse others of being racists are the one who really are.

How is Obama the racist when he said race isn't an issue. Steele is a black puppet, he should say that bout Carter.

GOP wants government

Of the 1%, By the 1%, For the 1%.

How they've convinced my working-class neighbor to go along is the brainwash of the century.

Disgrace to blacks.

Gov. Paterson is horrible. I think we would rather have Gov. Spitzler back rather than him

[Hollywood1127]

Steele had a good point.

@freein2339 Gee, you're sharp. You've never met me, yet seem to know a lot about me. I have NEVER depended upon anyone. Maybe your life and town need to be altered by terrorists, as mine have. Then see the terrorists treated like royalty. In the future, when you have financial woes or can't get a job, don't gripe. You could have more money but it's going to support aliens. Don't bother replying, I won't open. The thoughts of ignoramuses don't enlighten me.

[freein2339]

@primogennaio You sound like a typical nazi that thinks that just because you're white the world owes you something..Yet you keep lying to yourself and have these ideas that don't make any sense...It seems that racism has clouded your ability to deal with reality...So you need to stop whinnng about Obama and ask yourself who was really behind 911...or can your brain deal with that...I doubt it...fucking idiot...

[primogennaio]

@freein2339 You don't understand. Politicians work for us. If a president feels Islam comes first, coddles terrorists and expects me to pay bills of illegal aliens, i have a right to dislike him. After decades Blacks calling Whites honkies and committing crimes against "Whitey", I have reason to feel as I do. If you don't understand, then your are more ignorant than originally felt. Please no reply until your throat is slit or terrorists bombs your town. I won't open the message.

[freein2339]

@primogennaio The trials are bullshit anyway and the president knows that..And you didn't answer my question...If you think 911 was an inside job why are you whinning about Obama since he had nothing to do with it...??? Seems to me you just have a blind racist hatred for the man....well get over it because you'll miss out on all the progress...
