Biden Ignites Furor With Remark on Obama

Submitted by truthhurts, Feb 1, 2007 08:49

So, Mr. Biden expressed his opinion about Mr. Obama. And it happened to be true. What's wrong with that? Yes, Mr. Obama seems like a smart, intgelligent, CLEAN cut guy, with clear vision and the proper - if somewhat limited - political experience. And YES we don't have to guess what he is saying HE SPEAKS CLEAR AND PROPER ENGLISH., unlike - unfortunatelly - the previous African American presidential candidates. Is Mr. Biden's expression racist? Certainly NOT! Does the truth hurt? Certainly YES! Do his remarks belittle the intelligence of blacks in general? NO WAY. But speaking proper English is a basic requirement for any politician in our society and hopefully will reamin so in the forseeable future. Regardless if the person is white, yellow, black, brown, blue or green.
