Ex-Florida GOP leader apologizes to Obama, says many Republicans 'have racist views'
Updated: 10:12 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010

ORLANDO SENTINEL

TALLAHASSEE - Former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer is apologizing to President Barack Obama for opposing his back-to-school speech last year.

Greer, who resigned in February after allegations of misspending party money, gained national attention last year after saying Obama's plans to address school children was an attempt to indoctrinate them to his socialist agenda.

Greer on Tuesday said he and his children look forward to this year's speech.

Greer said in a text message, "Many within the GOP have racist views and I apologize to the president for my opposition to his speech last year and my efforts to placate the extremists who dominate our party today."

Greer is facing theft and money laundering charges from his time at the party.

I didn't even want to get in to the racial thing, but judging by the way they talk about Obama and Michele, and the way they draw them, and the way they talk about people in color in general, there's a lot of racism out there- and it's everywhere, on all sides of the political spectrum, but it just happens to be coming out politically with the wing nuts. That's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
