Bud Day’s remarks fire up media

Posted on March 31, 2010

What did he say?

“You know, we just got through (electing) a politician who can run his mouth at Mach 1, a black one, and now we have a Hispanic who can run his mouth at Mach 1. You look at their track records and they’re both pretty gritty. Charlie has not got a gritty track record.”
—told the Fort Walton Beach Daily News

When the paper called to confirm his statement, Day said:

“You’ve got the black one with the reading thing. He can go as fast as the speed of light and has no idea what he’s saying. I put Rubio in that same category, except I don’t know if he’s using one of those readers.”

These comments have gotten the war hero in trouble with both liberals that support President Obama and the conservatives that support Marco Rubio.
