EMAIL OF THE DAY

“Concerning his ‘flight from Waco’ before heading to D.C./Baghdad, Bush mentioned that he and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice sat in the Secret Service car, dressed causually with baseball caps. What really impressed me is his accompanying statement that ‘we looked a normal couple.’
Even as a proud American, I freely admit that we have serious work left to us regarding race relations. That an American President (white) blithely compared his sitting in an official vehicle, while on a secret government mission, with his black female National Security Adviser, and compare the two of them with ‘a normal couple’ I think is a positive step for our society as a whole.
Granted, it is not monumental, it is not pushing aside Wallace to get black kids into the school house and get an equal education, but it is important.
I don’t even remember Bill Clinton ever feeling his way to say/do anything like that as President!”
