…to Chuck Todd in this post:
Chuck Todd explained on Hardball why Americans oppose Obamacare.
It’s not because the legislation stinks.
It’s because they’re racists.
That sounds really bad and I’d be really upset with Todd if I didn’t ya know watch the embedded clip:
Barnicle asks if there is any sense in the White House that race has a part to play in the opposition to the president.
Todd states that the White House is staying away from that argument with a ten foot pole but the advisers who are “outside” the White House are jumping all over it first. He gives their argument but doesn’t endorse it.
Now watching it you might conclude that Barnicle is endorsing that opinion obliquely but you can’t, in my opinion fairly state that Todd is.
