Well, not his exact words, but certainly the clear meaning of what he said. When Wallace interrupted Dean to point out that Fox did not air the excerpted Sherrod footage until after the Obama administration had fired her based on it , Dean shot back “It was about to go on Glenn Beck, which is what the administration was afraid of.”
We'll set aside the question of whether or not Glenn Beck was or was not going to air that piece -- quite frankly, it is irrelevant whether or not he was. The key point is that Howard Dean, Chairman of the DNC, has made it clear that Barack Obama isn't man enough to stand up and take it like a man when criticized by a television and radio commentator, and is willing to take dramatic action to prevent such criticism -- even if that means acting without knowing what the full story is. Hardly a good quality in a president -- indeed, a sign of incompetence as a president, if you stop and think about it.
Unless, of course, one accepts the point made by Shirley Sherrod, that Barack Obama knew nothing of her firing and that nebulous people within the Obama White House fired her without Obama's knowledge or consent and did not even brief him on their actions -- in which case Obama is not n charge of his own White House staff -- a sign of incompetence, if you stop and think about it.
