SHARPTON: He’s certainly an impressive figure, but he cannot just get the support of all of the black community because he’s black. We
are no longer intoxicated by having the first black president. We had the
first black secretary of state and the second black secretary of state and they brought us the most wicked war in our lifetime. So you have to be more than our color. You have to be our kind.
I love Al Sharpton. I saw a gossip item somhwhere recently that he’s
really jealous of all the press Obama is getting, though.
