20. "Name ONE SINGLE thing that is incorrect in his statement"
Edited on Mon May-16-11 03:52 PM by ProSense
What's with all the screaming about facts in a man's opinion?

“There is the personal level,” he says. “I used to call my dear brother (Obama) every two weeks. I said a prayer on the phone for him, especially before a debate. And I never got a call back. And when I ran into him in the state Capitol in South Carolina when I was down there campaigning for him he was very kind. The first thing he told me was, ‘Brother West, I feel so bad. I haven’t called you back. You been calling me so much. You been giving me so much love, so much support and what have you.’ And I said, ‘I know you’re busy.’ But then a month and half later I would run into other people on the campaign and he’s calling them all the time. I said, wow, this is kind of strange. He doesn’t have time, even two seconds, to say thank you or I’m glad you’re pulling for me and praying for me, but he’s calling these other people. I said, this is very interesting. And then as it turns out with the inauguration I couldn’t get a ticket with my mother and my brother. I said this is very strange. We drive into the hotel and the guy who picks up my bags from the hotel has a ticket to the inauguration. My mom says, ‘That’s something that this dear brother can get a ticket and you can’t get one, honey, all the work you did for him from Iowa.’ Beginning in Iowa to Ohio. We had to watch the thing in the hotel.


West sounds scorned. Prior to that paragraph, the piece claims West was looking for populist instincts in Obama despite "Lieberman as his mentor."

If he was being ignored on the campaign trail, why is he surprised by anything?

This story reads like pieced together bullshit to fan outrage.
