Baffling, it’s like someone taking credit for the Jimmy Carter administration.

Reid said Obama credits him with being the first to suggest he run for president.

“I called him into my office and told him he should take a look at it. He was stunned because I was first to suggest it to him,” Reid said, “When he was re-elected I got a call saying as soon as he gets off the stand, he wants to talk to you. One of most moving phone calls ever received, he said you’re the reason I’m here.”

“I care about Obama, he changed the world,” Reid said.

Reid fails to mention that he asked Obama to run because he’s a “light-skinned” black man “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
