6 days after uttering her inflammatory remark, Senator Hillary Clinton seems to have had a change of heart:
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that she shouldn't have suggested in a newspaper interview that Barack Obama was having trouble winning over "hardworking ... white Americans."
On ABC News, Clinton said some voters may be discriminating against Obama because he is black but that there are probably an equal number voting against her because she's a woman.
"There are people ... who have reluctance about a woman, have reluctance about an African American. But thankfully, those are a relatively small minority," she said. "And I'm not sure that those people would ever vote for one of us."
Clinton regrets racial tension
The question is, what made you decide that your words were incendiary at this late date, Senator Clinton? What made you decide to denouce your own demagoguery? I really don't know what to make of this. While I'm certainly glad that she has at last realized the harmful impact of her words, I find her about-face less than genuine. Truthfully, I don't know what to make of Hillary, anymore. I've seen so many faces of Hillary Clinton, in the past few months, that she puts Sybil to shame.
Can the real Hillary Clinton please stand up?
Whomever she is?
