He had lots to say about Vice Presiden Biden's recent hateful remarks:
DougWilderThe nation's first elected black governor, Virginia's L.
Douglas Wilder, lambasted Vice President Joe Biden on national television
Wednesday for his remark to a largely black crowd about banks keeping people
"in chains."
Wilder, a Democrat and a grandson of slaves, echoed indignant
denunciations from Republicans, including presumptive presidential nominee
Mitt Romney, that Biden's comment at a Tuesday rally in Danville, Va.,
injected race into the presidential contest.
In warning that the Republican ticket would roll back President Barack
Obama's regulations reining in banks and investment firms after the 2008
stock market meltdown, Biden said Romney intended to "unchain Wall Street."
Then, Biden added, "they're going to put y'all back in chains."
Romney fired back Wednesday, saying Obama's re-election campaign "is all
about division and attack and hatred." Obama's campaign called Romney's
response "unhinged."
Wilder, known within his own party for an independent streak that
sometimes borders on contrarian, was interviewed separately by Fox News and
later CNN.
"Without question they were appeals to race," Wilder told CNN. "And if
you don't argue with that, then you understand that, then the next question
is why? Why do you feel you need to do that? But the more important thing
that I got out of this was Biden separated himself from what he accused the
people of doing. As a matter of fact what he said is, they are going to do
something to y'all, not to me, not us. So he was still involved with that
separate America. And I'm sick and tired of being considered something other
than an American."
Wilder also said he doesn't believe Obama would associate himself with,
nor make, the remarks that Biden made.
"The president doesn't need this now,' Wilder said. "The president needs
to be a part of bringing people together.
Wilder, also a former Richmond mayor, said Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton would have made a better Obama running mate and called on Biden to "
cool it, back up" and admit that he was wrong.
"If Hilary were on that ticket today, based on the job she's done as
secretary of state, I think there would be a clearer advantage the president
would be seeing," said Wilder, who was elected Virginia's governor in 1989
and briefly ran for president in late 1991. "It's not going to happen. It's
too late. I think she'll be getting herself together for 2016."
"What the president needs to do is to disassociate himself from trying
to show anybody that division is what this administration is about," Wilder
told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
He had more to say and all of it hard-hitting.
Yet Obama doubled-down on Biden's divisive statements:
President Barack Obama dismissed Republican claims that Vice President
Joe Biden had a nefarious intent when he said the GOP would "put y'all back
in chains" at a campaign stop in Virginia on Tuesday, telling People
magazine in an interview that his remarks had to be considered in context.
Rather than being about "division and hate and anger," as Mitt Romney
said of Biden's remarks, the president said his running mate was saying only
that "you, consumers, the American people, will be a lot worse off if we
repeal these (Wall Street reform) laws, as the other side is suggesting."
"In no sense was he trying to connote something other than that," Obama
told the magazine during an interview in Iowa, where he has been campaigning.
What a bald-faced lie, coming from someone who spent 20 years in a race-
baiting church where Biden's remarks would've been recognized for what they
were and applauded loudly.
The sooner the country is rid of this hate-mongering administration, the
better. | P*********0
