First black governor of Virginia, Doug Wilder, slams Biden for 'chains' remark
Published August 15, 2012
Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. – The nation's first elected black governor, Doug Wilder of Virginia, has lambasted Vice President Joe Biden on national television for his comment Tuesday about banks keeping people "in chains."

Wilder, a Democrat and a grandson of slaves, echoed indignant Republican claims that Biden's remarks before a largely black crowd in Danville, Va., brought racism into the presidential race.

In railing against Republican efforts to undo Obama administration regulations reining in Wall Street after the 2008 stock market meltdown, Biden said the GOP wants to "unchain Wall Street."

Then, Biden added, "they're going to put y'all back in chains."

Wilder said he felt Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would have made a better Obama running mate

According to reports Obama is holding on to the gaffe master and I hope he does as if he tosses Biden under the bus and takes on Hillary those Dems that are disillusioned with the Obama Biden ticket might just give Obama another chance due to her. Something the US can't afford is another 4 years of Obama no matter who is his running mate. :roll:

All is fair in Love War and Politics. And if Holder is the AG Obama doesn't have to worry about who wakes up dead if it means a vote for him as the death will never be investigated to find out who did it and who was behind the death, just as the Terry family.

Jesse Jackson's Daughter Slams Joe Biden for "Chains"

Although Al Sharpton is defending Joe Biden and his "they'll put ya'll back in chains" comments, Fox News Contributor Santita Jackson, Jesse Jackson's daughter, isn't buying it. Last night on Hannity, Jackson called for Biden to apologize and take back the remarks she found to be "profoundly insulting."

I am sure if Jesse was to choose between a race fight and a liberal democrat.. he would choose the race as he knows the liberals will be back to kiss his --- soon no matter what..
