Danny Davis Doesn’t Want Bill Clinton to Campaign for Rahm Emanuel

If the African-American community truly understood Bill Clinton’s legacy, his involvement in Rahm Emanuel’s campaign would be the kiss of death.

Luckily for Emanuel, most black voters are still drinking Clinton’s Kool-aid.

Former White House of chief staff, Rahm Emanuel, has announced that former president, Bill Clinton, will campaign for him in Chicago. The news has Danny Davis pulling his gray hairs out, because Clinton, although undeservingly, is popular among black voters.

Here’s a frantic and desperate quote from Danny Davis’ press release:

"The African-American community has enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with the Clintons, however it appears as though some of that relationship maybe fractured and perhaps even broken should former President Clinton come to town and participate overtly in efforts to thwart the legitimate political aspirations of Chicago's black community."

If I were Danny Davis’ campaign manager, I’d use Clinton’s involvement in Emanuel’s bid for mayor as an opportunity to reeducate black voters.

I’d point out that Clinton is the same president who sat on his hands while close to a million Rwandans were slaughtered. I’d make the African-American community aware that Clinton’s drug laws targeted black druggies by instituting lopsided laws that locked up crack users for longer jail sentences than cocaine users. And I certainly wouldn’t forget to mention Clinton’s three strike law.

But hey! I'm just a blogger. What the hell do I know?
