"Game Change," by Time magazine reporter Mark Halperin and New York magazine writer John Heileman seems to have put several politicians on 2010 Apology Tour #1.
Sen. Reid is quoted in private conservations, as describing Obama as "light-skinned" and with "no Negro dialect."
Bill Clinton apparently remarked to Ted Kennedy that (Page 218): "Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee."

"light-skinned" and with "no Negro dialect." He left out "clean" but we all know Digger Reid isn't real good with details.

I have been thinking that that book is becked by Obama and his cronies. It trashes the two people most likely to challenge him in the 2012 primaries (Clinton and John Edwards) and it makes an attempt to revive the “Palin is a stupid hick who shouldn’t be president” theme.
If you remember, Obama likes to “clear the field” so that hedoesn’t have to deal with any opposition.
