In the GOP-leaning state, where the lieutenant governor (a birther, by the way) is demanding a lawsuit against the health care reform bill, one Democratic leader in the legislature attributes the anger to racism. House Democratic caucus leader Mike Turner:
We’ve got a lot of bills on states’ rights here, state sovereignty and all that. We went through that fight once before. All of a sudden, we have a black man elected president and everybody wants to start acting like something’s wrong with our country. I didn’t agree with a lot of things George Bush did, but I wasn’t ready to secede from the union. I think some of the people who are against Obama are just against Obama because he’s African-American.
Turner is white, for what it’s worth.
