Obama delays nomination over bias concerns

June 24, 2005

WASHINGTON -- Research into a State Department nominee's hiring record has not revealed evidence of systematic discrimination since racial comments led her to resign from Wellesley College's board of trustees in 1987, Sen. Barack Obama said Thursday.

Henrietta Holsman Fore, director of the U.S. Mint, is President Bush's pick for a top State Department human resources job.

In 1987, the New York Times and others reported that Fore had stepped down from the board of trustees at Wellesley after an emotional debate fueled by her comments that in her Los Angeles manufacturing business she had trouble keeping black assembly line workers from going ''back to the street to earn more money'' selling drugs. She also was reported to have remarked on the work ethic of Hispanics, Asians and whites.

Bravo for Barack holding up this nomination, but I wonder if he hadn't said anything would she have gotten a pass?
