Steele Said What?
Last September when thousands of Tea Party leaders had been converging on town hall meetings all over America calling the President every name but a child of God, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele refused to see that at least some of this hate was rooted in racism. In fact he said “I am outraged that Democrats today, including former president Jimmy Carter, are injecting race into the debate over President Obama’s policies.” Now listening to him today on the morning talk shows you would have thought it was a different man as the embattled fmr. Maryland Lt. Governor sought to castaway his troubles as a direct result of his race. In his appearance on Good Morning America Michael Steele blamed a lot of the uproar over his spending while at the top of the RNC on the fact that as an African American he had a “slimmer margin for error”.
Michael Steele is the first African American to lead the Republican National Committee and the fact that he can not realize that a lot of the reason he was even elected to the post was only after the defining victory of Barack Obama is sad. What makes it even more sad is that he has allowed himself to be used as a puppet to attack the first black President of the United States. It is likely the only real reason that despite the serious mismanagement issues many on the committee have raised, he will keep his job. It should be interesting for all American’s to note that just a few weeks ago while the White House and their allies in Congress were signing an historic health care reform bill into law, black members of Congress faced racial slurs and even one of them was spit on by a protester. When he was called on by the leader of the Democratic National Committee to put out a joint statement calling for civility he refused and went on television to say he doubted much of the anger on display outside of the Capitol had anything to do with race. He refused to condemn the members of Congress in his party who took to the steps of the capitol to pump up protesters who lodged hate filled insults at civil rights icons as they walked into the building to do their job. He said nothing about members of his own party who encouraged protesters from the floor of the house who shouted out words of hate from the gallery of the house chamber. He was silent to a fault and then came to the defense of Rep. Joe Wilson who called President Obama a liar during his speech to a joint session of congress. Now as the rest of the country starts to find out just what the voters in Maryland already knew about his wasteful spending Steele seems to see the concern race can have. His claims are a distraction and as White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said just today, Steele’s problems are not the “race card but the credit card.”
