I've read his story previously. Very inspiring.

Barack Obama's historic election I still say that anybody who makes this statement is racist.

Racist little article, isn’t it ?
Voting for color - as one in every 2 people seemed to do two years ago, is racist as hell. His guarded walk to the inauguration and his vote are both because of skin color.
Pay no attention to the article. A butler for 8 presidents and he is STILL not smart enough to vote based on merits.

Tears in his eyes at being used as a political symbol? Didn’t he notice that all of those Jim Crow politicians who governed during his years under segregation were Democrats? ALL of them?

Sounds like a classy and respectful man for not selling his stories about the presidents even though he could have likely used the cash.

The blurb about First Lady Nancy Reagan was touching. Seems Nancy invited The Allen's to attend a sit-down State dinner..
"She said, 'You and Helene are coming to the state dinner as guests of President Reagan and myself,' " he recounted in the Post interview. Mr. Allen thought he was the first butler to receive an invitation to a state dinner. He and Helene -- she was a beautiful dresser -- looked resplendent that night. The butlers on duty seemed to pay special attention to the couple as they poured champagne for guests -- champagne that Mr. Allen himself had stacked in the kitchen.
We used to have a lot of class in our White House..sigh.
