Rangel Criticizes Obama For ‘Dignity’ Remark

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) – Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) has shot back at President Obama’s recent comment that he “end his career with dignity.”

Speaking at a candidate’s forum in Harlem Monday night, Rangel said the president hasn’t “been around long enough to determine what my dignity is.”

The embattled 80-year-old congressman said it was more likely that he would protect Obama’s dignity over the next two years.

Obama’s remark was made three weeks ago.
