video: President Obama took on the role of television critic in remarks today at the Islamic Society of Baltimore.
"Our television shows should have some Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security," the president said at the mosque, "because -- it's not that hard to do. There was a time when there were no black people on television. And you can tell good stories while still representing the reality of our communities."

    Why, when all evidence points in the opposite direction?

    There were black people on TV (”Amos and Andy”) before Obama was born.

    Maybe Caliph Baraq will have a show on PMSNBC and Calipha Moochelle on The View or Blowprah.

    Come listen to a story ‘bout a man named Ahmed
Poor Camel driver barely kept his family fed.
Then one day- he was shootin’ at some Jews
When up through the ground comes a bubblin’ ooze
Ohil that is... Black Gold... Tehran tea
Now the first thing ya know, Ahmed’s a millionaire
Kin folk said: Ahmed, Move away from there!
said: Californy is the place that you’d do fair
So the loaded up their camel and they moved to BelAir
swimmin pools....movie stars....Jews
The Bel Arabs!

    I expect we’ll soon be seeing the American version of “Little Mosque on the Prairie” . . . it ran in Canada from 2007-12.

    Canada tried that with Little Mosque on the Prairie. I don’t think it was a ratings bombshell.
I guess Achmed the Dead Terrorist can have his own show now.

    While we’re at it how about a situation comedy about the wild and crazy antics of a bunch of happy-go-lucky SS death camp guards?

    America should have a president who is not an utter imbecile.

    I thought of this today. Obama was the Caliphate Candidate in 08. Many of us knew this and many still won’t acknowledge it today. We need to compare how many times he has said American in the past 8 years to how many times he has uttered the word Muslim.

    Obama continues to prove how despicable he is. It will be a blessing when he RETURNS to Hell.

    This doesn't count? Arent Genie's from the mid east?
 She even plays against the racist "all mid-eastern people have black hair" stereo type!
