Author That Dubbed Clinton “First Black President” Endorses Osama Obama
WASHINGTON - The woman who famously labeled Bill Clinton as the “first black president” is backing Barack Obama to be the second.
Author Toni Morrison said her endorsement of the Democratic presidential candidate has little to do with Obama’s race - he is the son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas - but rather his personal gifts.
Morrison, whose acclaimed novels usually concentrate of the lives of black women, said she has admired Clinton for years because of her knowledge and mastery of politics, but then dismissed that experience in favor of Obama’s vision.
Obama responded to Morrison’s endorsement with a written statement: “Toni Morrison has touched a nation with the grace and beauty of her words, and I was deeply moved and honored by the letter she wrote and the support she is giving our campaign.”
Maybe these two should get a room.
