The Michelle Tape (Update by a libeal blogger covering for Micheele, twisting words?)
Booman Tribune ^ | 6-1-08 | BooMan

Posted on 06/02/2008 9:28:06 AM PDT by jrooney

From what I understand, it is a tape of Michelle Obama criticizing the Bush administration.

How you'd write it:

Why did Bush cut folks off medicaid? Why did Bush let New Orleans drown? Why did Bush do nothing about Jena? Why did Bush put us in Iraq for no reason? How you'd say it:

Why'd he cut folks off medicaid? Why'd he let New Orleans drown? Why'd he do nothing about Jena? Why'd he put us in Iraq for no reason? How Larry Johnson wants you to hear it:

Whitie cut folks off medicaid? Whitie let New Orleans drown? Whitie do nothing about Jena? Whitie put us in Iraq for no reason?

I certainly hope you are correct. This guy has got to go down down down.

From the National Review blog:

Apparently, if the tape ever comes to light, her words will sound something like:

Whitey cut folks off Medicaid?
Whitey let New Orleans drown?
Whitey do nothing about Jena?
Whitey put us in Iraq for no reason?*

...when the intended message is,

Why’d he cut folks off Medicaid?
Why’d he let New Orleans drown?
Why’d he do nothing about Jena?
Why’d he put us in Iraq for no reason?

Or so we will be told. The irony is, if the latter interpretation is accurate, we still have a potential first lady accusing her husband’s predecessor of “letting” New Orleans drown

“She is an intelligent, college educated Marxist. It seems illogical for her to use the term “whitey.””

Not so sure about that. Did you catch her ebonics rant talking to the college kiddies? “Y’all not takin’ advantage of this diverse community. Y’all not sittin’ at the same tables,” etc.

Plus she’s an EEO queen from top to bottom. She MIGHT be bright, but then again EEO being what it is, she might be a semi-literate mo-fricking-ron.

This is pushback form Obama's camp

I agree, and at the very least, you have to wonder why they'd want to push back, if they weren't worried that a tape existed.

Let's face, with all of Obama's unsavory friends, there's bound to be some bombshells out there, in spite of all the advance scrubbing by his staff.

More absurd speculation about nothing.

2 points: 1.IF she is saying “Whitey” it is explosive,
and is a pathetic example of pandering to a black audience right up there with Fr. Pfleger’s “blacker-than-even-you” pandering to the Trinity Church audience.It does make sense she would be saying “Whitey”, but I’d love to hear it. After all consider the source, AND the audience.
2.VERY good arguments could be made in defense of most of those claims, including Katrina. The major knock against the Administration was not “not helping people” but the extraordinary and predictable waste that went on afterwards. Guilt for Katrina should be 90% at the door of Ray Nagin and Kathleen Blanco, in addition to the entrenched Dem corruption of Lousiana and NOLA in particular.
For her to have even mentioned Jena is laughable, considering it is a PERFECT example of a bogus “racial incident” that was played to the hilt as if it were the incarnation of the lynching of Emmet Till a half century ago, but was instead something pretty close to the opposite. Too juicy to go into here, but all the usual suspects who used it soon fell away from it when they became aware of just how bogus it was. Even Sharpie and Jesse are smart enough to know it would embarrass them sooner or later to be associated with it.

Why’d he certainly makes more sense. I think this may be a backhanded way for GOP strategists to focus on her message though, which is pretty clever of them actually. No, she’s not saying WHITEY, but look at what she IS saying...

Many words have more than one definition. What advantage do you think you gain by feigning ignorance of that fact?"

"I’d rather listen to a tape of Bo Didley."

You're gonna have to. Just heard on the radio that he just passed away.

methinks that it is far more likely that this whole tape rumor was planted by obama’s camp to discredit us. I can see it now: “right wing goes ape over false rumors” complete with posts from us here in this forum.

My recommendation is to wait until we have something worth getting angry about. mondegreens ain’t it.

It doesn’t matter what she says - whether it is Whitey or Why’d he - it doesn’t matter because she is supposedly talking about George Bush. Any name you want to call him is acceptable.

Right. That’s why I put it in my post.

Thanks, though, for your message.

In going to the linked site I noticed most if not all the posters seem to believe it is wrong to publicize this tape if it in fact exists. This woman wants to be First lady and why we shouldn't know all about her is beyond me. I'm frankly puzzled by the claims her past rhetoric is somehow out of bounds.

Google “Jena 5”.

And W’s daughter is spelled JENNA.

Please stop confirming the Washington Post’s concept of those of us on the Right. . .

If you're anointed, the unwashed will not be allowed to use anything you might have said against you. Notice how Wellesley locked down Hillary's thesis back in '92.
