Reid: I'm Sorry I Said Obama Was Light-Skinned; He's Actually Blue Around the Mouth
WASHINGTON, D.C., 2010-01-09 The Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has apologized for describing Barack Obama as "light-skinned" with "no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one."
He expressed his regret for the comment in a phone call to the President, who accepted his apology.
“OK,” said Reid, “so he is not so light-skinned after all. He is actually quite dark-skinned, and the area around his mouth is so dark it is almost blue. It’s creepy. And those cold eyes! Ever notice how cold his dark eyes get when he’s not smiling? Scares the bejesus out of me!”
“And look at Michelle,” said Reid. “She’s got the big ass of a typical Negro woman, and those monkey lips! I wouldn’t want to have to go bed with her!”
"No wonder Obama is not very active in the bedroom!"
Obama’s acceptance of Reid’s apology prompted Joe Biden to call the President to apologize for, three years ago, describing Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate.” Biden said that Obama had accepted his apology.
He added that Obama was not as articulate as he used to be.
“Obama used to think he could give a speech on any issue and the problem would be solved,” said Biden. “So did I. I thought he had the King Midas touch, speechwise. But lately, it hasn’t been working. People are not listening. He’s more like King Canute – mere talking doesn’t hold back the tide or solve the issues.”
Upon hearing that, Obama ordered Biden to swim to Afghanistan and report from the front lines.
