CNSNews.com - No Comparison Between Reid’s and Lott’s Remarks, White House Says: "(CNSNews.com) – The White House rejected any comparison of racial comments by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to remarks made by former Senate leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), even as Republicans cited a double standard at play and called for Reid to resign his leadership post.
A new book about the 2008 presidential race, Game Change (Harper), reports that Reid “believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,’ as he later put it privately.”
Over the weekend, Reid apologized to President Obama about his remarks and the president accepted the apology."
