[9:58 AM] “Wait a minute. Some of my best friends are black.”
From the president’s Wall Street remarks Monday:
Q. Yes, Mr. President, the N.A.A.C.P. is meeting this week in Houston, as you probably know, and there's been some criticism that you've not attended their conventions since the 2000 campaign. How would you respond to that and respond generally to suggestions from some critics that your civil rights record in the administration is not a stellar one?
A. Let's see, there I was sitting around the leader - the table with foreign leaders, looking at Colin Powell and Connie Rice. Yeah.
