She tried to walk it back by also noting that the President's energy policies (rightfully, in her opinion) earned him a lot of ire in the state


Her comments on his energy polices were part of the original quote. I'm just waiting for someone honest to post the whole quote.

Fine, from the point in the link that I provided that says "Here is a full transcript of the exchange about Obama and his race"

quote:

TODD: Why does President Obama have a hard time in Louisiana?

LANDRIEU: One of the main reasons is because his energy policies are really different than ours. I mean, we're a pro-production state. We wanna drill almost anywhere. People believe that it's an opportunity for Americans to become energy self-sufficient.

TODD: But if the Democratic party isn't there, you say President Obama, Harry Reid isn't there. He's not there is he?

LANDRIEU: I've worked with four majority leaders. I"ve worked with Trent Lott, I've worked with Bill Frist, and I've gotten along with everybody and tried to get the job done for the state of Louisiana. One of the reasons that the president's so unpopular is because HE put the moratorium on off-shore drilling. remember? After Macondo. And our state was furious about that. Now he could have shut down the BP operations but he didn't, he shut down the whole Gulf. When you shut down the whole gulf of Mexico it puts a lot of people here at risk and out of business. That's number one.

I'll be very very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Tmericans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. It''s not always been a good place for women to present ourselves. It's more of a conservative place. So we've had to work a little bit harder on that, but you know, the people trust me, I believe. Really they do. Trust me to do the right thing for the state.




I'm not sure what you want from this point.
