The buzz about a tape surfacing of Michelle Obama ranting about "Whitey" together with Louis Farrakhan and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is interesting, if not a deal breaker. When it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam - not a good tag when running for President of the United States.
There is no coincidence that Barrack Obama "quit" his controversial church yesterday, just as news of this tape hit.
But his ties with the Nation of Islam do not get cut just because he "quits" the church. "Barack hired two members of the Nation of Islam to work on his staff—Jennifer Mason and Cynthia K. Miller. If Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger (now placed on leave by the Cardinal of New York for his recent rant) had kept their yaps buttoned none of this would mean much. But the fact that both men have been—until scrubbed from the website in recent weeks—listed as spiritual advisors to Barack Obama and also are very close to Louis Farrakhan, forces the question about Barack’s faith and beliefs." (hat tip NoQuarter)
The word is that one of the Republican candidates no longer in the race (Rudy) acquired the tape. Republicans will most likely hold the tape until the fall. Because if Hillary had it, she'd let it out now to get rid of Obama.
Things will only get more interesting. Either way, Michelle Obama has using her own mouth, put her husband's foot in it.
should be fun. To think people thought this bozo was electable.
I’m not ‘jacking your thread. Just thought I’d stick this in here instead of starting a new thread.....
People waiting in line to see Obama here in St. Paul tonight are having food delivered to them....
“Food Delivered to Obama Supporters Standing in Line”
Video at link. This is the local Fox affiliate, well in the tank for BHO......
My bet: we will never see 'the tape'.
Really?
Examples?
you see it all the time.
She’s Barrack’s ‘Bubba,’ LOL! Let’s start calling her “Bubba!”
She is a whack-job. I’ll bet the Secret Service is already fielding code-names for her just in case...and I’ll bet a donut that they’re not flattering. ;)
Yeah, I got a problem with her too.
Really?
Plenty? Must be you can provide plenty of evidence to support your claim.
Because what you're implying is that Freerepublic has plenty of racists.
For example?
Compile a list of complaints we have about Barack Obama, and I guarantee you won’t find the word “black” on any of them. Obama enjoyed much success using this “racist” tactic against Hillary Clinton. We Republicans won’t tolerate it - and won’t worry about harming Obama’s electoral prospects in retaliating. She might have sat on her hands and taken it, but we won’t.
When it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam...
his name is b. HUSSEIN....why should he care that he is branded with the nation of islam....he is supported by every muzzie nation!!!
I don’t see stuff like that here. Are you sure you didn’t get your info from BOR?
Michelle Obama seems to be similar to Hillary, in that, she’s outspoken and prone to say outrageous things. Hillary was quite a lightning rod for attention and criticism when Bill first ran for pres. in ‘92. I wonder if Michelle will be that type of first lady.
Maybe she won’t get the chance to be first lady, then we won’t have to worry.
Is Michelle black? Barrack isn’t. He’s a White Denier. He’s half Kansan, fer Pete’s Sake!
Why embrace one HALF of your heritage over the other? Oh, that’s right. It’ll GET you places to be considered ‘black’ versus being a boring ‘Kansan.’ *Rolleyes*
I’m e-mailing Ann Coulter. She’ll set the record straight. :)
My bet: we will never see 'the tape'.
I'm with you. If there is one copy of a "tape" there are multiple copies, and if there are multiple copies, one of them would have made it public by now.
I am afraid that it is just wishful thinking.
If he gets elected, Mike Rowe should expect a recruitment call from the Secret Service. He’s probably the only person in the country qualified to be assigned to her.
Catch a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. They are clearly doing the former and not the latter.
I’ve got a thought: he should choose Michelle as his VP. That’d show’em.
