barry re: Holder’s “nation of cowards”

March 7, 2009

I find this hysterical. Mr Transcender of Race decided to come forward and pretend he really intended to Unite! As usual, he waited to see the fallout before he commented.

Was there a poll re: Holder’s comments?

barry appointee Atty General Eric–I forgot to mention I dealt with impeached governor Rod Blagojevich–Holder made his thoughts known that “in things racial we have always been and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards.”

He was speaking to a rapt audience at the Department of Justice marking Black History Month.

He had the barry obamanating thing going on though: I believe…too many ways…essentially. He didn’t even have the moral fortitude to come right out and say: ‘I believe we have always been and still are a nation of cowards.’

Then he could at least garner some respect.

As was - he covered his bases, saying what was expected, while leaving himself some qualifiers.

That was February 19th.

My post then (with video).

March 6th is when barry decides to speak out and only because he was with Holder in Ohio.

What is going to happen to those officers when the money runs out next year? Will he go back to take credit for that, too?

And haven’t we had enough of these made-for-documentary campaign moments?

Anyway. CNN:

BARRY: I think it’s fair to say that if I had been advising my attorney general, we would have used different language.

I think..it’s fair to say…if I had been…attorney general. Never any definitive statements and he made sure not to mention Holder’s name.

I think the point that he was making is that we’re oftentimes uncomfortable with talking about race until there’s some sort of racial flare-up or conflict, and that we could probably be more constructive in facing up to the painful legacy of slavery and Jim Crow and discrimination.

And I’m not somebody who believes that constantly talking about race somehow solves racial tensions.

Only when he needs the votes.

I think what solves racial tensions is fixing the economy, putting people to work, making sure that people have health care, ensuring that every kid is learning out here.

I think if we do that, then we’ll probably have more fruitful conversations.

We’ve made enormous progress and we shouldn’t lose sight of that.

So much so, 8 million eligible black voters couldn’t be bothered to register to vote for barry.
