U.S. President Barack Obama participates in an interview with Bob ...

Michael Steele, Republican National Committee Chairman, was on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday. When asked about what he thought about Obama requesting Governor of New York not run for reelection, Steele responded by pointing out he thought it was “stunning that the White House would send word to one of only two black governors in the country not to run for reelection.”

To which a somewhat shocked Bob Schieffer asked, “"Well you don't think he's asked him not to run 'cuz he's black?"

Steele caught himself and backtracked a little and said no that wasn't what he was saying but then said, “If you are saying it’s the numbers, then why isn’t there a call for those other Democrat governors who have low numbers, who are in trouble as well,” he continued, “It’s just a curiosity to me.”
