Michael Steele: "I found that to be stunning that the White House would send word to 1 of only 2

[jenmito]

Black Governors in the country not to run for re-election..."

That was Steele on Face The Nation IMMEDIATELY after saying Carter shouldn't be playing the race card. Then when Schieffer interrupted, "You don't think he's (Obama's) asked him (Patterson) not to run because he's BLACK..." Steele replied, "Well, I don't think THAT, but I just find, I mean, look, you have so FEW, and if you're looking, if you're saying it's the NUMBERS, then why isn't there a call for those OTHER Democrat :eyes: governors who have low numbers who are in trouble as well..."

Then Schieffer CONTINUES Steele's "original" logic by asking how Steele thinks this will play out in the African-American community and Steele said he'll be very interested to see.

So the whole reason Obama is allegedly stepping in to the Patterson primary IS because he's Black?! :eyes:
