How can we miss these two tools if they won’t go away?

Didn’t that “established lawyer” surrender her law license with charges pending?

Their neighborhood makes me cross the street when I see them coming. Check my wallet in the pocket and click the door locks in the car. Their neighborhood hates me, and calls me a slaver.

Obama’s brother?

Who is that cat? He hasn’t said anything publicly.

Obama is a blank slate.

Leftists call them the Forever First Family. He’s presiding in exile because term limits are racist.

Both of them came from.safe neighborhoods. He in particular was raised in considerable comfort. A red diaper baby.

I grew up with two black friends, but with their parents being Black Panthers they became racists and no longer speak to me because I am white.

I’m sure Barack remembers the white, country club neighbourhood in Honolulu that he grew up in with his mother and her parents, lol. Bet they told his teachers that doing homework or even showing up at school was probably that good bit below him and his supposed intellectual level.

That’s not the neighborhood they subscribe to. The all pine for the wisdom of urban yutes.

I grew up in a working-class town that was 99% white, northern/eastern European or Italian ancestry. The only division among us was where one went to church on Sundays. All houses had a mother and father and every adult worked. To do otherwise would have been disgraceful. There was zero crime, and kids were free to roam until dark. People left their keys in their cars overnight. No one talked about politics because the differences were slight, and everyone shared the same vision of what it meant to be American.

I imagine those are not the stories Obama wants to hear.

My dad once told me that I wouldn’t survive a walk through his old neighborhood in Chicago.

To Barry and Michael...please tell me why would that be?

“an established lawyer”

Has it ever been established that Moochelle actually had a law license?

They’re both going back to their wonderful old neighborhood... So wonderful that it will be bristling with armed Secret Service protecting their every step.

“an established lawyer”

Non-liberal translation: A law firm gave her a high-paying position and an office. I don’t know of her ever working on a case. Does anyone?

You mean like when the neighborhood started to 'change' and the new residents decided they were going to 'assert' themselves which forced us and others to move?

Is that the kind of story they're looking for?

I have such a story. I don’t have blacks to be my neighbors. I’m Asian. I can be as political correct as I can but not in my neighbors. So far it works great so far
