A "Typical White Person"?!

I've expressed admiration for Barack Obama's political skills, but maybe, in a time of stress, his inexperience is beginning to show. In an interview earlier today, he referred to his grandmother--the one he slandered in his speech on Tuesday--as a "typical white person."
Think about it: can you imagine any Presidential candidate, in any context, describing anyone as a "typical black person?" Or a "typical Asian person?" Worse, what Obama said was that the "typical white person" views others of different races with fear and suspicion. Obama appears to be digging himself in deeper and deeper.

His attitude toward “typical white people” is quite telling...

You'll never hear a peep of it from his enablers, aka the media. Did you notice the orgasms they went into over his “monumental” speech in Philly? I wanted to shout “get a room” to those lapdogs and sycophants, but what's the use?

“Cunas” or “Coon Ass” is slang for an Acadian. Hehe. I know that. I'm just trying to figure out if he was being facetious, or if it was a lame attempt at an insult.

Chris Matthews had tingles running up and down his leg and everywhere else. It was disgusting!

You’d have to be one or at least married to one to understand.

For some of these people it wouldn't matter if there was video of Obama burning the effigy of a white guy, screaming "Kill Whitey!"
His MSM lapdogs would say that we just didn't understand the context, or that we don't understand the black experience in America, or some kind of garbage like that.

I LOL’d at that. I suppose the hate crime police will be along any minute.

“You people” just don’t get it.

I could have sworn Gumbo was a Cajun name.
