Rangel Under Growing Pressure to Resign - CBS Evening News - CBS News
Democratic New York Rep. Charles Rangel's battle to beat back the ethics charges against him and stay in Congress took a major hit Friday from President Obama, who sent an unusually blunt message to a member of his own party in an exclusive CBS News interview, CBS News Correspondent Bill Plante reports.
"I think Charlie Rangel served a very long time and served his constituents very well, but these allegations are very troubling," Mr. Obama said.
In an interview with CBS "Early Show" Anchor Harry Smith for "Sunday Morning" and Monday's "The Early Show," the president all but said Rangel should resign from Congress.
"He's somebody who's at the end of his career, 80 years old," Mr. Obama said. "I'm sure that what he wants is to be able to end his career with dignity, and my hope is that happens."
"Recent comments by Sen. Lott do not reflect the spirit of our country," Bush said to loud applause. "He has apologized and rightly so. Every day that our nation was segregated was a day our nation was unfaithful to our founding ideals."

Yeah, Obama's statement was tougher. Bush's was "He made a mistake and he apologized, and rightfully so." Obama's is "Resign muthafucka, before you wind of dragging the the rest of the Dems up for reelection down".
Hmmm, reading between the lines of both: Bush called Lott out on racist talk, then got him out as Senate Leader.
What do you think will happen with Charlie?

You wish RadioQueer......but the Obamarrhoid never stated that. Substituting your own verbiage ain't the same thing.

1. he never said rangel should resign, although, to be fair, it was probably implied.
2. if he took any other position, i suspect you'd have a thread saying that he condones the things that rangel did because he's black and a democrat.
and you know i'm right about that.
no. i'm saying that the rightwingnuts who feel all victimized by the big bad black guy would say so.

If this guy is as dirty as it appears, there are those who would fault Obama for continued support of him.
And don't we get Righties always complaining about Democrats supporting their dirty laundry?
Damned if you do, Damned if you don't, apparently.
Clearly Obama is racist - trying to keep down the proud Black Man that is Chaz Rangel!!!!
