Wow, I never expected to see this from such a partisan Democrat. I actually detect a hint of honor and honesty in this post rather than the usual politics.
I agree with you. She actually said that she was "Proud" of the president.
I am still leary of her but I appreciate her words, so far...
Her father and sister were saved in the flood--she is grateful. This is a good first step by her and it deserves to be noticed.
It is surprising. *However*, as I have said many times, one time does not make a trend. Don't make one set of remarks into an epiphany.
I have communicated with Ms. Brazile via e-mail, and I must say she answered my e-mail with thoughtful, respectful responses, even though we disagreed dramatically. I believe she is one of the smartest woman in the Democrat Party. I have told her directly that she should abandon that losing party and join the Republican party where she would be more at home (you know, she and Karl Rove get along fairly well. I know the cynics on this site will bad mouth her, but I truly believe that she sincerely means the words she has written. She knows, in her heart, that the Democrat policies for aiding Black folks and erasing racism have failed miserably, and that Black folk must look inward into themselves to solve the continuing problems that surround them. Self-help, assimilation, education, stable family life, etc. are what is badly needed. Ms Brazile heard the POTUS say this, and she is with him.
It;s possible that Bush is finally getting a message to the Afro-American community...it's not in your interest to be in the Democrats' back pocket...after all.New Orleans was let down by Democratic politicians...if conservative-hater Brazile is sincere, then this is significant.
