Leftists are up in arms over this with the cry of racism. Expect Barak to challenge the intern who writes the headline blurbs to a duel.

An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he'd spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as "Obama's baby mama."

Well, I’m sure the Libs loved the movie.
Rush is right, lefties are nothing but WHINERS!
Much nicer than the name I use to refer to the racist dingbat commie beeyatch
Yeah, they should have said it differently to avoid the racist tone.... something like this would have worked:
OUTRAGED LIBERALS: STOP PICKING ON BARRY'S BABY MAMA!
See! Now the libs have nothing to be mad about. :)
Don’t give the libs any ammunition. Barack is close to burying himself and now this stupidity from Fox. Idiots.
How can the Libs be upset when Fox seems to be quoting them?
So when will they start referring to Cindy McCain as John’s “sugar mamma”.
Please be advised that there’s a video featuring an interview with Michelle Malkin at the main Salon article link :-)
RACIST!
I am beginning to see a trend here.
The media is beginning to make this about the "attacks" against Obama and NOT about the shortcomings of Obama himself.
Good tactical move on their behalf.
This is pathetic, stupid, and entirely unprofessional.
How are they feeling about the real racism coming out the Obamas' mouths and from the "church" they worshipped at for 20 years? Any anxiety over that?
All his shortcomings will mean nothing if this continues.
This kind of stupidity really makes me angry because that man doesn't need to be president of my country if there is to be any real hope. Most other democratic nominees have been way ahead at this point but he's not.
Yet Fox News appears ready to give him the presidency. You will hear about this until Election day.
My first question concerns why FNC would even think to use such slang to describe Mrs. Obama. I thought “baby mama” was a reference to women who have children out of wedlock? Or are we using the term for all mothers now?
Oh, and yes, people will cry racism over this.
Turning Michelle into a sympathetic character isn’t going to be easy... After all, Barry joined her church and even though he resigned and denounced the racist rhetoric spewing from that pulpit, I don’t ever recall her saying anything against that racist reverend, or the church.
Maybe it was not a mistake by Fox. This takes the heat off of his real problems.
Fox News is not conservative media in the way that everything else is liberal media. It's not like they made a tactical error in their urgent push to defeat Sen. Obama. Captions attract the illiterate viewers, obviously the largest demographic of all. Some producer cobbled together a cutesy caption out of some other quotes and the hypersensitive liberal blogs are overreacting to it.
obama mama drama.
Well when she grows up she can be “Obama’s grownup Mama”.
