Bill Clinton on Obama: “A Few Years Ago This Guy Would Have Been Carrying Our Bags”


(Art of Manliness)

Well, this is revealing…
Bill Clinton told the Kennedy clan< "A few years ago this guy would have been carrying our bags." Sounds kinda racist, huh? The Weekly Standard reported:

Former President Bill Clinton tried to get former senator Ted Kennedy to endorse Hillay Clinton for president in the 2008 election by describing Barack Obama this way: “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”

This anecdote is revealed in a New Yorker article on the relationship between Bill Clinton and Obama:

Tim Russert told me that, according to his sources, Bill Clinton, in an effort to secure an endorsement for Hillary from Ted Kennedy, said to Kennedy, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”
