GOP Rep: I’m Not Racist, I Just Can’t Stand ‘This Black President’

WASHINGTON – Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) came forward on Friday to publically address rumors that he is the mysterious Republican who told President Obama, “I can’t even stand to look at you” during recent budget negotiations.

Instead of offering up the standard politician’s denial, Sessions admitted he was indeed the source of the remark, but claimed “it was not at all racially motivated” and refused to apologize.

“President or not, tensions run high in many of these discussions, and when things got heated, I directed the remark in question at Mr. Obama,” said Sessions.

“But I am not a racist. I can’t stand this black president because I fundamentally disagree with his actions as president, not because he is black.”

Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) was the first to relay Sessions’ anti-Obama remark on his Facebook page on Wednesday. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Minority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) quickly denied the exchange ever took place, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney joined them in denying the story, saying the entire incident was simply a “miscommunication.”

The story took another turn when the “Huffington Post” reported that two unnamed Democratic senators cited Harry Reid (D-Nev.) as the source of the accusation.

The two unnamed senators said Reid is still trying to make up for his 2008 comments that Obama’s “light skin” and “lack of Negro dialect” would help his presidential bid.

The unnamed sources claimed that, after the meeting in question, Reid took Sessions aside and the two entered into a “heated debate about which man was less racist.”

President Obama has not been reached for comment on the matter, but spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that after this latest incident, the White House is “going to assume that they’re all racists.”

    Good grief. I’m blacker than Barak Obama. But them crackers do hate him because he’s blackish. As one told me right before the first Obama landslide win, “I’m just NOT ready to give “them” the keys to the country yet.” Oh, and the real “them” to them also contains women, Jews, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, Mormons, Atheists, etc. They are in furious debate as to whether masons are ok.

    Listen carefully…1 question Who Raised and Nurtured him most of his life…His Mom and Grand Parents…He is an enigma to whites because at first glance all they see is a Black man…He has been sent through 1 thousand paces just to prove his identity and person, and now he sits in the highest office of the land…well whopp-dee-doo yeah they aren’t going to like him, because Whites have spent since the 60’s trying to understand the Black man and here comes someone who looks like a Black man, but was raised in a different kind of home, and one that was FULL OF LOVE AND DEVOTION… Well I’ve said enough pass this on, and maybe a few more will get it…THIS GUY IS AN AMERICAN, AND HE’S THE PRESIDENT OF THIS UNITED STATES…DAMN…GET OVER IT…
