TPM:
Did George W. Bush really summon his African-American secretary of state for a lesson on junior-high-level racial politics?
So reports Newsweek's Richard Wolffe in his new book on Obama, Renegade:
The Making Of A President.
Bush found himself perplexed by the flap over Joe Biden describing Obama as "articulate and bright and clean" in January 2007. So, naturally, the president turned to the top U.S. diplomat, the trusted Condi Rice, to explain what the heck this was all about.
Here's the tidbit from the first chapter of Wolffe's book:
Bush was so taken aback with the public criticism of Biden that he called in his African American secretary of state Condoleezza Rice. "I don't get it," he said. "Condi, what's going on?" Rice told him what everyone else had said: that white people don't call each other articulate.

Further proof the Gerbil was a figurehead President.
Sadly....some believe he really ran the country.
And that is why Dick was the figure head and not the Gerbil. Ya think that the media will admit?
Non Faux news folks, know that Dick was the Supreme Leader, and anyone with any intelligence.
I hear it all the time, they say, well Cheney had more power than any VP and stuff like that, come on they know, they also say there has never been a VP like Cheney, some go so far as to say there never was a VP with so much power.
Unless your only news source has been Fox, then you know who ran the country the last 8 years.
