Oh my God, Obama's a racist! (er, no he's not)

So the leftie blogs (of which I consider myself one) are all in a tither about a memo the Obama camp has been circulating attacking Hillary Clinton for accepting donations from Indian-American companies that outsource jobs to India. According the them, he must be a racist, he called her HILLARY CLINTON (D-PUNJAB). The problem is, she said this about herself last year.

So, apart from the D-Punjab part (which Hillary herself said last year), what about the memo was bad? Are American jobs being sent to India or not? Is Hillary actively courting Indian donors or not? The fact that people are attacking the Obama campaign kind of proves the point - don't say anything about jobs going to India or you must be a racist.

We just read Dreams of My Father. Have you read it yet? Pretty good although it dragged on a bit towards the end. Leo's moved on to Audacity of Hope. I squeezed in Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje (Sri Lankan who wrote English Patient) and I think I might pick up Memoirs by Pablo Neruda before I read Obama's Audacity. Have you read it?

ah...he also said Indian Americans aren't Americans (can't find the memo)
he also blamed the whole job problem on India but in fact the problem is capitalism NOT India (if India wasn't taking the jobs then it would be someone else)
and one more thing if this happened to African Americans or Hispanic Americans this would be all over the news and what not but it happened to Indian Americans so its not
oh if Hilary said something like this it would be all over the news
oh before i leave
i wont be reply because i found this on google and i wont be finding this again

Dude, did you even read my post? It clearly states that HRC said this herself, yet nothing happened. Not to mention the fact that I posted this in JUNE, and it's now almost March.
