Comments on: ‘That Boy’ http://susiemadrak.com/2008/04/14/18/22/that-boy/ Keeping a jaundiced eye on the corporate media.

I know him and his family personally, and I can say with great confidence that there is not a racist bone is his body. Anyone with a functioning brain knows that Geoff’s statement was a commentary on Obama’s relative youth and utter incompetence to discharge the office he seeks. It had no racial overtones whatsoever, except to the people who wanted there to be. Obama, who supposedly transcends race issues, shamelessly seized upon Davis' comment as yet another opportunity to play the race card in an effort to distract attention away from his own recent gaffes (which he "regrets" but does not retract). Isn’t it interesting that Obama, whose comments were far more incendiary, demands and expects a pass for his words, or at least an opportunity to explain them away, yet he is quick to crucify Davis for far less? Obama (and his surrogates) ought to hold himself to the same standards that he applies to Davis, but of course that is unthinkable to the liberal mindset. Let's be intellectually honest here, shall we? Geoff has no reason to apologize. His statement was entirely accurate and appropriate.
