Sen. Kennedy on Obama’s Colbert Interview: ‘He Might Have Been Pandering to Mr. Colbert and His Audience, All Seven of Them’
EXCERPT:
KENNEDY: “Well, I thought — I went back and looked at the video. I thought it was interesting. It’s no newsflash that President Obama does not like Republicans. It occurred to me that he might have been pandering to Mr. Colbert and his audience, all seven of them. President Obama has always been better at pandering than persuasion. That was my first thought. The other surprise that I had, I’ll get back to your question about — politicization, I’m sorry, of the justice system. The other surprise to me was that I always thought President Obama was a capitalist. He certainly seems to have an affinity for Mayor Mamdani, and Mayor Mamdani is a socialist. He calls himself a Democratic Socialist, but that’s a socialist that believes in obtaining socialism through the ballot box. So, that one surprised me.”
