Well, O turd did say he was looking for a SC nominee with a person with life experiences.

Same w/ my great aunt. I once asked her if she ever had seen a president in person. She replied, “I saw *him* twice.” Of course she meant FDR, the only president who existed, to her thinking.

Interestingly, those two times are when FDR drove through Fort Oglethorpe, GA in his open limo during a WWII inspection tour of the base, and then when his funeral train passed through Chattanooga on its way to D.C. from Warm Springs, GA. (My great uncle was the night freight manager at the depot.)

Just goes to show that wisdom doesn’t necessarily follow age.

That said, good for this woman to be not only alive at 106, but mobile enough to dance.

Well, she got to meet a Black President.
She will probably not live long enough to witness the destruction he is bringing.

The poor woman doesn’t even realize that she is a product of those that have stayed on the plantation.

She learned nothing from history.

This is first nice act of kindness I’ve seen from those two.

Remember when they had Beyonce sing “at last” at his inauguration. Etta James was devastated.

A woman of 106 gets a complete pass from me. Anyone who manages to live that long has learned much from history, some good and perhaps some not so good.

Yes, this poor woman probably thinks she has met the Messiah in Barry's White Hut. Just because you've reached the age of 106 does not mean that you have achieved wisdom along the way. Oh, well, at least she got to see the people's house (though Barry and Moochelle don't think so).

I always point out Bambi is a mulatto. So the poor lady is only half correct. I lived in the era and remember back of the bus etc. It was not a nice time to be black. I wish her well also. I disagree with those who disparage her. I doubt she had the opportunity for much is any education. The average white is not very astute in matters politic either. We FReeper’s are a small cadre of those who follow events and take the time to be informed.

She is either unaware that Obama is pro-abortion, or she is pro-abortion.

Either way, she’s a woman indifferent to black genocide.

Yup, she still thinks that the Obamas are coming after her Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid because that's what the evil Republicans do — NOT.

What a stupid comment. I don't know this woman's story

So your assumptions beat my assumptions. You win!

but we can probably assume that it wasn't easy

Actually, I'm assuming nothing but I am reading and interpreting her words and what she chooses to focus on.

I'm sorry but I don't subscribe to the Systematic Oppression narrative, especially when I hear tales of loving, intact black families existing for decades that were destroyed and replaced by white do-gooders who knew better.

So yeah, she's 106 and goes to the White House and see some of her own kind living in it

Except he isn't her own kind. As a lifelong American raised on US soil she has more in common with alabaster-skinned Sven Svensson of Duluth, Minn. than she does with a mixed-race individual of Kenyan descent raised in Indonesia and the Pacific Rim who attended Muslim schools.

Therefore, any claim that she and Obama are culturally linked is based purely on skin color. QED.

Just allow her the moment without intimating she's a racist.

Racist? No. Shortsighted and missing the point of setting foot in the White House with all its history, artwork, appointments, etc.? Absolutely.

Sorry Ms. McLauren, maybe you were better off just taking a pill instead of all that other medical care you probably received.

Not only that, but she didn’t even realize that Obama probably doesn’t want her to live.

I wonder if Virginia would have loved her black President if he had gotten those death panels put in place that he wanted so badly.

I believe a good rule of thumb is to allow 106 year olds to do whatever the hell they want.

She and barack probably have something else in common... The lack of valid birth certificates although her birth certificate was most likely just not issued?
