WASHINGTON, D.C. (YBH.ME) – The new book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, “Game Change” is causing quite a stir in political circles. The book chronicles the 2008 election season.
Bill Clinton and "coffee boy" Barack Obama.
Not only does it include a quote by Harry Reid referring to President Barack Obama as having no “negro dialect,” it offers up an interesting tidbit about former President Bill Clinton.
The book includes a story about Ted Kennedy fuming because Bill Clinton said of Obama, “a few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee.”
President Clinton’s office told ABC’s Jake Tapper that they wouldn’t be commenting on the story.
President Obama immediately forgave Harry Reid for his 2008 remarks today. The President however, did not forgive former Republican Majority Leader Trent Lott and radio host Don Imus when they made similar insensitive remarks.
