DEL.ICIO.USLewis: ‘I’m not on any Clinton enemy list’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
U.S. Rep. John Lewis says he’s been forgiven by the Clintons for abandoning their cause and turning to Barack Obama.
At least that’s what he tells my colleague Julia Malone up in Washington.
While other Democrats may be on the outs in this post-Hillary world, the Atlanta congressman said the former president has left “wonderful” messages, including a birthday greeting, on his home answering machine.
Earlier this week, the New York Times had an article on the karma-based accounting used by Clinton staffers who control access to the couple.
“I’m not on the list,” Lewis said. Not the bad one, anyway.

Now we know John Lewis is truly delusional. The Clintons shut him out right after he endorsed Obama. If he thinks that door will re-open he obviously doesn’t know them as well as he thinks.

It does not matter whether or not the Clinton forgives him. What matters is the people - He is no longer a civil right leader when he breaks his word, keeps his silence when sexism was rampant, and worse of all, keeps silence when the DNC did not count the people’s votes in Michigan and Florida.
He represents the worse example of ‘vote for Obama because he is black’, instead of voting for him because he is the best candidate.
