He wanted to wait until there was a very possible newly elected black POTUS...?

As far as 24, I stopped watching after the first four or five episodes after it debuted. I just thought the concept of a black POTUS was a bit Hollywood Liberal-ish for me. Didn't really seem a likely scenario so i lost interest quickly.

I take umbrage at someone thinking this quote is racist. It seemed merely practical and reasonable at the time. Actually, it smeared liberals more than anything else. Something I wholeheartedly admit to doing routinely.

Sue me. ;D

You don't get to redefine the term, umbrage.

Apparently you don't understand my usage of the term umbrage.  If you polish up on your reading skills it will help avoid this in the future.  It will, also, help you make better use of, commas.

Then let there be zero umbrage in your general direction!

I do enjoy the umbrage from the tree in my front yard.

Professor Umbrage was pure evil in Harry Potter 6, or maybe 5.  Far worse than Voldemort, IMO. 

For the truly adventurous, Wunder's post here is actually a double-post.  The juicy version of the conversation is in the Politics n Religion forum
