WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton says he doesn't think racism is a principal factor in resistance to President Barack Obama's plan for overhauling health care.
Interviewed Tuesday on ABC's ''Good Morning America,'' Clinton said ''there's no question'' racism exists in some outbursts in recent months. But he also said he believes ''if he were not an African-American, all of the people who were against him on health care would still be against him. They were against me, too.''
Cinton said that ''I sympathize with'' former President Jimmy Carter's feeling that racism accounts for the strenuous opposition to Obama, but said ''that's not what's driving'' Obama's critics. Clinton said: ''What's driving them is they don't want health care.''
How convenient.. Guess Bill forgets how important he thought direct racial appeals were in South Carolina or in TV ads which relied on more coded racism as expressed in Hillary 3 am
Enough already Bill...leave the discussions of racism to the experts and the adults
Sorry this is short..More of a rant than a diary..
Have a good one...I will...
UPDATE For those with questions as to the racist undertones in Hillary 3 am, i suggest Orlando Patterson's piece as a starting point -- The Red Phone in Black and White
