Senate Majority leader Harry Reid apologized today for, private conversation during the campaign, in which Reid, while attempting to speak favorably of Obama, reportedly said the nation was ready for a black President, especially one who is “light-skinned” and has “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words. I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments,” Reid stated, before highlighting his support for Obama, efforts to integrate the Strip and promote diversity in the Senate.
The President Instantly accepted Reid's Apology.
“I accepted Harry’s apology without question because I’ve known him for years, I’ve seen the passionate leadership he’s shown on issues of social justice and I know what’s in his heart. As far as I am concerned, the book is closed.”
Even Al Sharpton, professional racist, cut the Senator some slack.
Reid's unfortunate remarks are the least of his problems, the Senate leader charged with pushing through Obama's agenda, represents a state that is not happy with Obama's agenda. According to latest polls Reid is in HUGE trouble more than half of Nevadans give him an unfavorable job rating. And people are speculating that he may join his friend Chris Dodd as a "senior citizen who has become a victim of Obamacare."

Since he said this during the campaign, why is he in trouble now?
Because it is FINALLY getting some media and Wheels!!
Just more proof of the democRAT plantation.sharpton and jesse are just low rent overseers.
Nothing will come of this now that Obama has waved his magic wand. He let him off without so much as a hand slap.
good question....only the elite can figure it out
On the quick so the MSM can bury and spike the story.
Nancy must want him out.
This will go nowhere
“Racist or Not, Harry Reid in HUGE Trouble”
Don’t be silly, he’s a democrat.....
Just drive slow by the "school book depository" in Dallas.
He will retire and go into private business and make mint with all of the favors he is owed.
weep not for his wrinkled old ass
That is hilarious and offensive at the same time!
From Chappelle — so you are exactly right.
Harry POS Reid BUMP!
Surely American voters will see through Reid’s latest lame attempt at getting the Bubba vote.
But it won’t be unanimous. Harry will still vote for himself.
Typical rat.
