Rookie Mistake by Obama?

As I'm sure you are just as sick as I am with this Imus story, it appears Barack Obama may have made a rookie mistake when throwing in his two cents.

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

Such an open-ended statement is just asking for trouble.  Employees of Obama better be sure to keep everything they say clean, anything even marginal will cost someone their job.  Look slike this can of worms is officially opened.

I'm amazed that the so called "Black Leaders" are now jumping on the "stop perverted black rappers bandwagon". Where were they 10 years ago?

I also wonder how much money is made by the same people that sponsored/fired Imus through interests in and the Rap/Hip Hop industries...

Be interesting to see the stats.
