So yes he is guilty of foot in mouth disease in a way for not being savvy enough to think that comment could be taken the wrong way based on Obama's ethinicity and public perception of the remark. | Trust us when we say this: he knew EXACTLY what he was saying. the fact that he repeated it, shows he knew exactly what he was saying. some where in his mind he figured if he left off the "nigger' part, he would be displaying his "sensitivity" and political correctness.
