President Barack Obama has kept mum on the fate of Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) for days -- but he tells CBS News that it's time for the embattled 80-year-old former Ways and Means Chairman to end his career "with dignity."
"I think Charlie Rangel served a very long time and served-- his constituents very well. But these-- allegations are very troubling," Obama told Harry Smith in an interview to be aired on the "Early Show." and first broadcast on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.
"And he'll-- he's somebody who's at the end of his career. Eighty years old. I'm sure that-- what he wants is to be able to-- end his career with dignity. And my hope is that-- it happens. "
WOW did I read that correctly???? Did Rangel just get a seat under that bus???? Hardy har har!!!
My first question is “Who is the Marxist Obama has in mind to fill the seat?”
It’s about 40 years late for that.
Figth Charlie! How dare this new guy push you out of the way!
WOWWWW!!!!
This has to be a mistake.
Haha Charlie... here’s your reward for carrying Obambi’s water with the Health Scam Reform.
Death Panel for Rangel
Amen!
Dimocrat Dignity - Getting off scot-free with 40 years of malfeasance.
Always room for one more!
How can one end one’s career with dignity when one has no dignity. rangle should end his career in an orange jump suit and doing the frog march. Corrupt loser. Criminal. As old as he is, it would be too bad his likely life sentence would be so short.
Ah...here we are. I’ve been wondering about this. I suspected once I saw the actual charges detailed that the Dems might be trying to usher Rangel aside to make room for new blood that might be more compliant. Barack’s statement here fits that theory, they want new representation for Harlem.
BS. Rangel will be well compensated.
But it is a DIGNIFIED spot under the bus.
For the first time, in my life, I heard a black person state that it was because he was black and that the US persecutes and tears blacks down who try to rise to greatness. Jolting.
Yes, under the bus! Gettfin’ ready for elections.
When OShamma speaks of ending Rangel’s ugly career with “dignity,” what he means is “In a manner that doesn’t remind voters how corrupt the Democrats are, right before the election.”
Who ever it is doesn’t get to be chairman of anything, and doesn’t have any seniority.
