Rep. KIng Not Apologizing For Obama Bias Remark

Rep. Steve King (R, Iowa) ?is not apologizing for saying that President Barack Obama ?favors the black person.??

Politico reports that ?King stands by Obama bias claim,? as though King actually said something wrong. Chris Harris of MediaMatters said King has ?routinely accused the president of ?playing race-bait games? and favoring ?the black person.??

Next thing you know MediaMatters and Politico will be accusing King of routinely asserting that the sun rises in the east. It has apparently escaped their attention that the president and his administration do routinely favor black people by, for example, continuing to promote and support policies that provide preferential treatment to blacks.
