Kilpatrick says in upcoming book he 'hated on' Obama

Associated Press

Detroit — Disgraced ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick writes in his upcoming memoir that he "hated on" Barack Obama as he watched the 2008 election coverage from his jail cell.
Despite previously having developed a relationship based on "mutual respect," Kilpatrick writes he turned his "enmity toward" Obama on Election Day, when the Illinois senator and fellow Democrat became the first black man elected president.
In "Surrendered! The Rise, Fall and Revelation of Kwame Kilpatrick," the imprisoned ex-politician describes watching election coverage on a TV in his cell that night. At first, Kilpatrick felt pride at seeing a fellow African-American win the historic election, but he writes that feeling later turned to enmity.
Kilpatrick writes he "hated on" Obama "a little, asking God, 'Why? Why him and not me?'"
The Associated Press obtained an advance copy of the book. It comes out Aug. 1.

Oh yeah, It must have been the Jews who blocked Kilpatrick from his rightful nomination for president.

Probably he was thinking about what could have been. The bad decisions he made and the good decisions Obama made.

In 2004 at the Democratic convention both spoke on the same evening. Kilpatrick as a featured speaker and Obama giving the keynote address.

Both were thought of as a new wave of rising young dem's who had a bright future.

I'm sure Kwame felt he was at least as qualified as Obama to hold higher office.

However Kwame lacked discipline and was ethically challenged [[for sure and maybe criminally as well) which would de-rail any chance of him being mentioned in the same breath as Obama after 2004.
