Obama gets to "explain" his stupid comments, and GOPers can't grovel fast enough. Reminds me of Goerge "I'm sorry about Macaca" Allen.

It continues....
The Obama campaign slammed the comments.
“It’s hard to tell what is more outrageous — Representative Davis’ condescending and personal attack, or his absurd and offensive claim that Barack Obama is not prepared to defend America,” said Bill Burton, an Obama campaign spokesman.
Davis and his office did not dispute the accuracy of the quote. In his letter to Obama, Davis, a former Army ranger first elected to Congress in 2004, wrote that he “used a poor choice of words when discussing the national security positions of the Presidential candidates.”
“My poor choice of words is regrettable and was in no way meant to impugn you or the your integrity,” Davis wrote. “I offer my sincere apology to you and ask for your forgiveness.”
According to a Davis spokesman, Davis hand-delivered the letter to Obama’s Senate office after returning to Washington on Monday.

Geoff “Bwooaaah!” Davis has a ring to it. We’ll just call him “Bwoah” (southern talk for “boy”) instead of Congressman.

"It's hard to tell what is more outrageous -- Representative Davis' condescending and personal attack, or his absurd and offensive claim that Barack Obama is not prepared to defend America," said Bill Burton, an Obama campaign spokesman. The gaping silence afterward is of course Obama's plan to defend the United States while he waits to consult with the United Nations and give China veto powers over our every action...

What is wrong with what he said? The boy IS a snake oil salesman. Age gives one a different definition of “boy and girl”. The word “boy” is not in and of itself a racist slur.

Newfoundlanders call every male boy or buddy (pronounced “ bye” or “b’y”). I doubt any of them will be apologizing any time soon.
To: pissant
I am sick to death of the perpetually offended and the wimps who can’t wait to apologize to them.
Sheesh!!!

Good grief - I know the term “boy” can be taken as offensive when referring to a black male, but in my lexicon it's also just a plain term for any other man (usually but not necessarily youthful) - such as an athlete, a regular joe, a celebrity or politican, etc. It is sad to see the lexicon shrink out of PC fears. The congressman should have said, “I was referring to his youthful immaturity, not his race. His overreaction is simply evidence of the immaturity I was referring to, and the type of intimidation that substitutes for discussion on the Left.”
