"NBC News quantified the dramatic increase in minority cabinet and court appointments under Clinton in December 2000:

Where his predecessor, George [H.W.] Bush, could find only one qualified woman, one African-American and two Hispanics for his Cabinet, Clinton nominated three black men, a black woman and two Hispanic men to join nine white Cabinet nominees -- three of them women. George W. Bush's push for diversity in his own Cabinet this year [2000] can be seen as an affirmation of Clinton's work on that front. ... In [former President Ronald] Reagan and [George H.W.] Bush's 12 years in office, of the 545 federal judicial appointments, 65 were women, 22 Hispanic, two Asian American and 17 African American. In Clinton's eight years, of 366 federal judicial appointments, 104 were women, 23 Hispanic, five Asian American, one American Indian, and 61 African American.

Further, although George W. Bush has nominated minorities for some of the highest positions in government (such as former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, former national security adviser and current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales (Yeah that Gonzales)), a Newsday analysis of federal personnel records for September 2000 and September 2002 concluded that when political appointments that don't require Senate confirmation are counted, "[b]lacks held 7 percent of administration jobs under Bush, less than half of the 16 percent they held under Clinton," and blacks held only 6 percent of "senior executive posts" under Bush, compared to 13 percent under Clinton."

Any other rich white guy who drove his limo to a black neighborhood "to have soul food dinner, eating chitlins with black folk," wouldn't be kidding anyone for more than five seconds on his views of black people.

But then most any other rich guy politician WOULD be full of shit. Not the one guy who has put his appointments where his heart is.

I think if Bill Clinton saved a drowning child you would call it a political ploy. Good night. I'm done with this useless bs. I might as well be talking to a rock.
