Reply #77: This is what I found, of course the MSM covered for Obama,

[Evergreen Emerald]

But it was addressed in the "truce" debate when Russert asked obama about his team sending out a memo. Obama took no responsiblity for it and said he suroggotes did it. Where does the buck stop?

Civil Rights Hero John Lewis says Obama camp played the Race Card

At first. I thought the MLK-LBJ flap was just push back Obama's campaign at the way Hillary had framed the distinction between she and Obama. I hugely respect both King and Johnson and only felt that there was a anti-historic diminishing of the role of the President, that cared more about the poor than any other, that concerned me. But after seeing Donna Brazil's response to this on CNN, it was clear she was speaking off of Obama campaign talking points. But, it was when I first heard that the Obama campaign was charging Andrew Cuomo, a good and decent man and Democrat who has spent decades as an advocate for the homeless and and as a provider of low income housing, of being a racist, that was the moment that I realized that the all white triumvirate of Obama strategists, Axelrod, Gibbs and Rouse, were race baiting and it was now clear, that they would say and do anything, to win over the black voters they knew would rally around Obama if they thought he was being racially attacked.

"I must tell you...I'm trying to set the record straight...the Obama camp is doing something else, theyr'e sending out memos to the media trying to suggest that the Clintons are playing the race card."

But let's not talk about that; let's talk, as the “race card” memo from the Obama campaign did, about the time that Bill Clinton said he had known some of the greatest figures of the past 100 years, including Nelson Mandela, yet his wife was the one person in the world he would call on in the toughest of times. And let's talk about whether that meant, as the memo put it, that: “Bill Clinton Implied Hillary Clinton Is Stronger Than Nelson Mandela.” Shame on you, Mr Obama; the world expected more.
