I kind of posted this as a test to see how the local Obama defenders would react.
Just as I thought not one condemned what Biden said, when it was clearly way out of line and pretty much a racist comment.
It's not a stretch to say that if a republican said that , he would be finished politically.
It's not a stretch to say that most of you here would be calling a republican a racist for saying that.
Is staying loyal to your political party worth selling out what you believe in?
Is not facing the reality that you were/are wrong about Obama so hard to do that you would just ignore such an out of line comment like this, even defend it?
So he's vaguely talking about some banking legislation and he compares it to slavery?
I think it was racist but not for actually saying it but for thinking that black americans are actually so stupid that they would fall for it.
Here is what Romney said in response, I think it was pretty spot on.
“The comments made by the Vice President of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama Campaign will say and do anything to win this election. President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden’s comments.”
“Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago,” Romney said.
Romney added, “This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like. President Obama knows better, promised better, and America deserves better.”
He also said that it was " a new low for the Obama campaign".
The Obama campaign, meanwhile, did not back away from Biden’s “chains” remark. Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter defended the vice president during an interview Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,”.
“We have no problem with those comments,” Cutter said.
Well there you have it folks, they have no problem with " He gonna put you all back in chains".
