W admitted racial inequality and poverty exists in the U.S.!
My hat is off to him. Reagan, GHW Bush, all ran from the truth.

The GOP has acted as if they had blindfolds on concerning racism and poverty.

Of course, he's trying to salvage a legacy. But I still have to give him one for this.

3. Yep
The GOP party line since Reagan had been if there are poor it's because they are either lazy or stupid. I will remember this as one thing W did right.

5. And unfortunately, it won't be pretty
The GOP better realize we now have the world press watching us on race relations. The GOP haven't been held accountable for their racism for decades.

6. But back in Reagan's time, it was still acceptable to say those things
Chimpy is simply adjusting his bullshit for the fact that it's the year 2005 and bigotry isn't acceptable anymore.

Fixing the problems extends far beyond helping those displaced by Katrina.

Talk is cheap.
