As a long-time registered Republican, I am shocked and immensely dismayed that a contender for the Republican National Chairmanship would have the incredibly poor taste, poor judgment and utter lack of sensitivity to send a racially derogatory song to supporters. “Barack, the Magic Negro” not only is an affront to the President-elect but to the myriads of people who voted for him. Whether we like it or not, Barack Obama will be the POTUS for the next four years at least. Chip Saltsman may have intended this to be funny; I, for one, am not laughing.

Why do you speak out about a silly song when as of yet I have not heard you comment on the status of the magic negros citizenship?

It is a funny song. I'm guessing any and or all jokes are off limits?
I think not, what was good in the past can and will be played out.
Monkey photo's and all. Mr. Henderson just how many jokes has President Bush got from the liberial left? What is good for one is good for all.
Thank you Carl G.

This "magic negro" title was given to obama by a colunist from the LA times as a positive term meaning that he had what it takes to win! Stop being " offended" over everything! I'm hoping the only magic obama does is a disappearing act!
