Geraldine Ferraro has resigned from the
Clinton campaign after suggesting that Barack Obama owes his success in the presidential contest partly because of his race.
Hillary Clinton has apologized to black voters and disowned the statements, but Ferraro is herself is far from apologetic, lashing out at her accusers. In fact, she feels that
she is owed an apology. "If anyone is going to apologize, they should apologize to me for calling me a racist," she said on NBC's
Nightly News last night.
Hillary Clinton, does not share her sentiments and tried to get as far away from those damaging words as possible.
She blamed
Obama for making race and issue in the national spotlight, which is something
Dr. Phil might refer to as "projection."
"I certainly do repudiate it and I regret deeply that it was said,"
Clinton told a crowd of black newspaper owners yesterday. "Obviously [Ferraro] doesn't speak for the campaign, she doesn't speak for any of my positions, and she has resigned from being a member of my very large finance committee."
