    is what pesky senate Majority leader Harry Reid said.
    Back in 2008 Reid affirmed exactly what it would take to elect
    a Black as President.
    The Nevada Democrat describing Obama as " Light-skinned " and
    " with no negro dialect,unless he wanted to have one. "
    What if ?
    What if Barack Obama HAD a negro dialect.Many Black do.
    James Clyburn for one.Some black mayors.
    Does that mean,Harry Reid would feel justified in not voting for Barack Obama
    as President is he had a negro dialect.Or chose to use one.
    I mean,if we're going to play this word game.
    Let's flush it out.
    No bird dogs necessary.

    I'm deadly serious, he has private sector experience Obama never had. Basically give me -any- candidate with legit private sector experience over the typical pure govt/academic know-nothings we actually get.

    Thread also remind me of that old "Delta Airlines ebonics" spoof from In Living Color:

    there are many dialects that wont get elected, be it the a urban hick dialect, a rapper rap dialect, or even a like ya know... like... for sure... a valley girl dialect... think we all know that

    I think most voters vote for someone they can understand when they are speaking.... if you can't understand them, it's hard to know where they stand

    In a statement to CNN, Reid said, "I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words."

    "I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments.

    the proper term seems to be called jive or brother dialect, your quote translated by this page http://www.luketillo.com/jiveluke.html

    "I's gots'ta be witnessin' brother dialect as we speak."

    Thats the catch. Democrats are allowed to apologize and other democrats accept it. When a republican apologizes, he's just a dirty liar. Obama changed his stance on gay marriage, so he either lied in 08 or is lying now. I'll go with logic and say he was lying in 08, because he knew it would hurt his chances against Hillary. Anything for a vote=) The left didn't' give a crap about it just like they don't care about what Reid says.

    he was commenting on Obama not speaking Jive, but that comes out as Jive speaking people are bad.. not true, they just are not Presidential material, anymore then a Vally girl dialect would be Presidential material
