ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: A Republican House member Monday sent a letter of apology to Sen. Barack Obama, after calling him "boy" and comparing him to a "snake oil salesman" in attacking his national security credentials at a weekend fund-raising dinner in Kentucky.
According to a Lexington Herald-Leader blog item, Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Ky., said Saturday that he had recently participated in a "highly classified, national security simulation" with Obama, and said that exercise showed that Obama can't be trusted to make difficult decisions.
"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Davis said. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country."
The Obama campaign slammed the comments.

Opinion:
Why are people so sensitive these days? No body would think anything of it if someone called me girl or called Mr.Hjort "boy". People need to get theirs heads out of their butts. I do not think that guy should of apologized because I really do not think he was doing it as a "racist" thing but of course people would think he was. It seems we have to be so gentle and careful around Obama cause God forbid we say something that someone will most likely take out of context and turn it into a racsist issue.

National:
The Democratic presidential candidate will make her first appearance on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" on Thursday. Both Clinton and Colbert have come to Pennsylvania ahead of the state's hard-fought Democratic primary on April 22.
Clinton rival Barack Obama also is in Pennsylvania, but has thus far declined Colbert's invitation. Obama's wife, Michelle, will appear on the show Tuesday.

Opinion:
I really do not like Hilary Clinton but I do think it is a smart idea to go on his show. Alot of people including myself watch this show. It will help people be more informed about what is going on with a twist of humor.
