Is the use of the word “Articulate” racist when coming from a Black female describing other black females?

Rutgers Women’s Basketball Head Coach C. Vivian Stinger described her team as “…They are young ladies of class, distinction. They are articulate, they are gifted. They are God’s representatives in every sense of the word.”
Does this seem like a racist statement? Most will say no.
President Bush describing Sen. Barak Obama as well-spoken and articulate was characterized as racist.
Does this seem equitable?
Here is a link “FROM YAHOO NEWS” about the first story.

Wait a second. I thought it was Joe Biden describing Barack Obama that got Biden in trouble.
Where were any remarks made by Bush about Obama construed as racist?

Any Republicans statements about Osamma Obama would be considered racist because they would not extol his “virtues” highly enough.

No it was not Pres Bush who described Barak Obama as such it was in fact a fellow DEMOCRAT Joe Biden and he got roundly attacked by Al sharpton, however its ok to call a black person well spoken and articulate if your also black, have you not understood its only racism when a white person says anything, a Black person can get away with it. Al; Sharpton is the biggest racist ever, even if he had a point I switch off the minute i see his ugly face.
