Karl Rove, The Racist

On Keith Olbermann's Countdown on MSNBC, Richard Wolffe of Newsweek, accused Karl Rove of racist comments.

Karl Rove wrote an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal. Here are a few excerpts:

On Obama, Rove stated--
....His trash talking was an unattractive carryover from his days playing pickup basketball at Harvard, and capped a mediocre night....
....Mr. Obama has failed to rise to leadership on a single major issue in the Senate. In the Illinois legislature, he had a habit of ducking major issues, voting "present" on bills important to many Democratic interest groups, like abortion-rights and gun-control advocates. He is often lazy, given to misstatements and exaggerations and, when he doesn't know the answer, too ready to try to bluff his way through....

Mr. Rove has been called 'Bush's brain.' This explains why the Bush administration has been called a miserable failure. Rove is back to his old insults, racism, and politics of destruction. He needs to crawl back under his rock.
