"Bill Shaheen, husband of ex-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, a national co-chair of the Clinton campaign, volunteered to The Washington Post his concern at what might happen to Barack Obama, were he to be nominated.
The Republicans are not going to give up without a fight, and one of the things they're certainly going to jump on is drug use," said Shaheen. And, as Obama has admitted in his autobiography to using drugs, this will "open the door" to further probing. "
These quotes are coming from the Xenophobe in chief, Pat Buchanan, from his recent article in Town Hall (yes Francis, I am talking about Obama again. I am actually going for the trifecta with this one), and there is more:
"Well, it's sure going to be harder to overcome, now that Bill Shaheen has suggested young Barack might have been a drug-dealer on the South Side of Chicago, and now that the press has been alerted as to precisely what questions should be put to him -- before Iowa.
Having planted this poisonous weed, Shaheen dutifully resigned. Then Mark Penn, Hillary's top adviser, went on "Hardball" to assure us his campaign would not stoop so low as to raise the issue. Said Penn, "I think we have made clear that ... the issue related to cocaine use is not something that the campaign was in any way raising."

By introducing cocaine, Penn alerted the press that, if Obama did deal drugs, we are not talking airplane glue or mushrooms. This little episode validates Robert Novak's report a month ago, when, relying on a Clinton source among other Democrats, Novak wrote:"
Now these are re-puke-licans quoting bad things that dumb-0crats said about Obama.
I know politics is a blood sport, but if I were the Clintons I would be careful. I caught clips of Bill's interview on Charlie Rose, and he was kind of tough on the half and half man. Bill, since you view yourself as being in the know with us black folks, you should know that black people are very protective of their own, and so you just can't go slamming Obama and not expect there to be consequences. My advise to you would be to chill on the Obama bashing, and focus on the re-puke-licans. Tell Hillary and her people to do the same. Just spend all your money wisely and stay in your lane. Don't go firing up black folks by jumping all over Barack, because come general election time if Hillary is the chosen one from the dumb-ocrat-ic side, she is going to need every black vote she can get. She just can't win states like Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio without the "nappy headed" vote.
But hey, this is just one blogger in Philly who calls himself the field Negro putting in his two cents worth. Hillary has guys who she pays thousands and thousands of dollars to tell her what to do. So she will be fine.....right?
