I think he took on the chairman role cuz he figured it’ll be easy money. Doubt he did everything in his power to take down Obama. Most likely gave the repubs lip service but was secretly rooting for Obama. Before Obama came into the picture there were black Republicans with long careers wit the Republican Party. They can’t all just switch and not expect ramifications, which would have most certainly led to financial hardship.He's an interesting character to me because he's been very pro black and truthful in his stances on race the last few years. Yet he was the chairman of a white supremacist party that did everything they could to take down Obama.
I wonder if he always felt like this and simply never spoke up or if when he had that wake up call moment a few years back it changed him.

Steele to Rush: I'm sorry
By MIKE ALLEN
03/02/2009
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.”
“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”
The dust-up comes at a time when top Democrats are trying to make Limbaugh the face of the Republican Party, in part by using ads funded by labor. Americans United for Change sent a fund-raising e-mail Monday that begins: “The Republican Party has turned into the Rush Limbaugh Party.”
Steele told CNN host D.L. Hughley in an interview aired Saturday night: “Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh — his whole thing is entertainment. He has this incendiary — yes, it's ugly.”
Steele, who won a hard-fought chairman's race on Jan. 30, told Politico he telephoned Limbaugh after his show on Monday afternoon and hoped that they would connect soon.
“I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking,” Steele said. "It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not."
“I’m not going to engage these guys and sit back and provide them the popcorn for a fight between me and Rush Limbaugh,” Steele added. “No such thing is going to happen. … I wasn’t trying to slam him or anything.”
