Harry Ried's Flub

So Harry Ried says something raceist. It's OK though because Obama doesn't mind. As if Obama is the only black man of consiquence. Yeah it directed at him but that's not the point if he is willing to say it about Obama he obviously thinks it is an acceptable opinion to have. So why is Obama OK with it. It's simple he is willing to throw himself under the bus to continue his healthcare crusade. If Harry Ried resigns it effects Obama's ability to drive the healthcare bill home.
