Reid is clearly right on Obama... Duh

Harry Reid should resign. So should Nancy Pelosi. So should Barack Obama. But, I digress on the last two.

It's Reid in the news for his comment about Obama not having a "Negro dialect." I never thought I would back Reid on anything, but on this one I don't see a problem.

Obama doesn't have a Negro dialect. Al Sharpton does. Jesse Jackson does. The latter two are also much darker in skin color than Obama. With Obama, it's as if we didn't elect a black person. He's light skinned and talks like a white person. That in large part helped him to get elected.

Sam Phillips wanted a white person who sounded black, and America, while not necessarily wanting, could accept a black person who sounded white.

Taking all that into consideration, Reid still should resign. But, for the same reason as always. Because he's Harry Reid and what all that amounts to. A pile of cow dung on a forlorn Kansas prairie.
