"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."
Now I'm sure that Don Imus is someone's uncle and he says crazy things from time to time, but he was forced out of his job for just a few off color remarks. Now Reverend Wright says horrible things about white people and the country which we both live. And only when the controvercy was threatening to derail his campaign that Wright was removed from the Obama Campaign. His first intinct was to defuse the stiuation and keep his hate mongoring Preacher in his job. But back last year when he wasn't winning enough of the "black" vote, Obama jumped all over Imus and wanted him fired.
Obama is not the post-partisan, post-racial candidate he claims to be, he is just the same old calculating politician that tries to position himself for the position that he is running. He is much the same as Hillary, just in the guise of the person we all are waiting for to bring us together.
