From the January 20, 2008 "This Week:"
STEPHANOPOULOS: {President Bush called} for tax rebates at the White House this Friday to stimulate the economy. Now we're going to talk to the man who is going to be in charge of writing that tax bill in the House of Representatives, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Charles Rangel. Welcome back to "This Week," sir.. . .
Stephanopoulos next spent several minutes asking Chairman Rangel about the economy, tax rebates and other related topics. But then, he couldn't resist . .
STEPHANOPOULOS: Finally, sir, one political question. You're a big supporter of Senator Clinton in this race. But I want to show you some figures from our last poll concerning African American support in this presidential race. A month ago, Hillary Clinton was leading Barack Obama 52% to 39%. Just last week, Barack Obama, 60% of the black vote, Hillary Clinton, 32%. Yesterday, he won more than 80% of the black vote in Nevada. Are you concerned that black voters and black leaders are going in different directions in this presidential race?
RANGEL: Not at all. It just shows that black folks are just as American as anybody elseI posted this shortly after this was broadcast -
