Quote of the Day
"To me, as an African American, I am frankly insulted the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues — when Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood; I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in his book — when they have been involved."
Robert L. Johnson,

Johnson later denied that he was referring to Obama's teenage drug use. Obama wrote about his use of marijuana and sometimes cocaine in his memoir, "Dreams from My Father."
However, you'd have to be a flat-out idiot to believe Johnson's denial. Nevertheless, he issued a statement claiming that his comments refer to Obama's work as a community organizer in Chicago "and nothing else. Any other suggestion is simply irresponsible and incorrect."
I guess my dream of a Clinton/Obama ticket is shot.
