You really have to ask?
But what difference does it make how my statement reads? I don't have time for creative writing 101 and wordsmithing sample statements. It's Perdue's statement and leadership that's at question, not mine.
Perdue's leadership is not predicated by a bully in a television studio in New York.
If you ask the average citizen in Georgia - black or white - that school prom wouldn't even register. When the same issue came up under the Democratic administration of Roy Barnes last year, calls weren't made for Barnes to say anything - and the citizens of Georgia didn't say squat about it.
I guess it's OK for some carpet-bagging talking head with a personal grudge to beat up on him under the guise of "racial harmony." If he wants to attack Perdue and the Legislature on wasting the entire session on the state flag, great! It's warranted! We (the locals who elected them) want to know why Perdue and the state Legislature haven't given us a budget yet. We want to know how much more tax money they're gonna waste(on a special session) in trying to come up with a budget so that the state doesn't have to shut down. We quite frankly don't give a damn whether or not Sonny Perdue opens his mouth one way or another about that prom - just like we didn't care whether or not Roy Barnes did last year!
