Louisiana Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu said Thursday that the issue of race is a major reason that President Barack Obama has struggled politically in Southern states.

“I'll be very, very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans,” Landrieu told NBC News in an interview. “It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader."

Noting that the South is “more of a conservative place,” she added that women have also faced challenges in “presenting ourselves.”

The comment prompted a fiery response from Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal, who called it "remarkably divisive."(continued)

So Sen. Landfill says the South is not a welcoming place to blacks, non-conservatives, and women.

She’s slipping. She left out latinos, homosexuals, and lesbians. The stress of the campaign must be getting to her. Or maybe she can’t keep all of her lies straight.

The South has not always been the friendliest place toward black. Gee...at one time neither was the North, East or West. And women were in a terrible social status.

Move forward about 50 years Ms. Landrieu. Put down the bong and watch some recent news.
