Poor Harry, poor me
But that aside, I'd like to imagine a slightly different scenario. What if, for example, old Harry had said something like this, about someone like, well, like me. "The Old Gray Redneck would be a great candidate, what with his two toned skin (you know, the pasty white face right next to that tacky red neck) and his ability to hide his mush-mouth ramblings except when he's with his own people." This is not exactly what Reid is reported to have said of Obama - the quote's in this article - but it's pretty close.
Rather than be offended, I'd like to ask some questions. First, as for my multi-colored skin, would it not be more politically correct to describe people who look like me as "persons of colors"? Or possibly describe those with my coloring as having "skin of diversity"? And is not promoting diversity a primary goal of those intellectuals who rule us?
Second, I will be the first to admit that I'm not as "articulate" as the president, as I believe the vice-president put it. But if Hillary can change her accent when addressing blacks, why can't I speak redneck when with my own peeps? After all, if multiculturism is the ideal of so many, why is it wrong that I can speak to different cultures in their own dialect?
I freely admit I'm confused. If, as I've just shown, I am a testament to both diversity and multiculturism, and have at least two similar characteristics to Obama - per poor Harry - why has no one asked me to apply for a $400,000 per year job?
