Clinton Apologizes to Black Voters

[WiseOne]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton did something Wednesday night that she almost never does. She apologized. And once she started, she didn't seem able to stop.

The New York senator, who is in a tight race with Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, struck several sorry notes at an evening forum sponsored by the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a group of more than 200 black community newspapers across the country.

Her biggest apology came in response to a question about comments by her husband, Bill Clinton, after the South Carolina primary, which Obama won handily. Bill Clinton said Jesse Jackson also won South Carolina when he ran for president in 1984 and 1988, a comment many viewed as belittling Obama's success.

"I want to put that in context. You know I am sorry if anyone was offended. It was certainly not meant in any way to be offensive," Hillary Clinton said. "We can be proud of both Jesse Jackson and Senator Obama."

WiseOne's Comments, I am so sick of political correctness...if you even mention the word black or woman...you are against blacks and women. I am NOT against Hillary because she is a woman, I am against her as a "political BEAST." We all know dammned well Hillary thinks the same on this issue, she is just pandering now.

She's trying to make inroads into the black population in Philadelphia. Hillary is a people user. She will use people like they're chewing gum and then spit them out when she no longer needs them. She's all about herself.
