		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the blogosphere erupted in a firestorm of controversy over remarks by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in 2008 that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama was &#8220;light-skinned&#8221; and spoke &#8220;with no Negro dialect.&#8221;
This is the second time in recent weeks that Senator Reid has found himself in hot water over issues relating to slavery and [...]]]></description>
