[Reagan Man]

>>>He did this in front of a VERY enthusiastic audience with many minorities present...

That's exactly why he included those remarks. Bush played President Panderbear today. Rev.Peterson is right on this one and Bush is out of line!

So what exactly was Bush supposed to do ? -- the media is having a feeding frenzy over the "Lott issue" -- Bush is making his first public appearance since it all "blew up" -- was he just supposed to give a standard speech and hope nobody said anything ? Esp. a speech in front of a largely minority audience ? I don't call this pandering -- I call it damage control -- and damned good damage control at that ! He obviously is pissed at Lott (who is an idiot), but he hasn't called for his resignation as ML -- Lott is a big boy who needs to take his medicine -- I hope that he can get through the mess in one piece.

Who will be the next target of a rat attack? The rats want Lott gone. That is the bottom line.
