Racist remarks from the Democratic leadership

Obligatory Post: A couple of interesting quotes from Sen. Harry Reid and former President Bill Clinton:

[Reid] was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a "light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one," as he said privately.

Bill Clinton:

After Obama won the Iowa caucuses, Clinton called Kennedy to press for an endorsement from the influential Massachusetts liberal. But the call backfired...The day after the [Iowa caucuses, Clinton] phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama [and] said, "A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee."

And, of course, who can forget Joe Biden's "Clean and articulate" comments.
