Obama: GOP Trying to Paint Me & Michelle as 'Too Black'
TheHill.com ^ | June 12th, 2008 | Andy Barr

Posted on 06/13/2008 11:29:08 AM PDT by The_Republican

Barack Obama said Thursday at a fundraiser in Chicago that the GOP is trying to make him and his wife Michelle appear "scary" and "too black."

"They’re going to try to make me into a scary guy. They’re even trying to make Michelle into a scary person. Right?" Obama said at an event in the Hyde Park area, according to CNN.

Obama said Republicans were trying to start a drumbeat questioning Obama's patriotism and whether he is "too black."

"I don’t know, before I wasn’t black enough," Obama said. The Illinois senator then suggested Republicans might say, "'now he might be too black.'"

This guy is SOOOOOO full of himself.

You would think it would turn off a lot of voters.

But then again looking at some of his supporters and a good chunk of the American Sheeple, they are full of themselves too.

Since when is being black the same as being a mind-numbed socialist robot?

Is Obama actually smearing blacks with that comment? Too black? Gee, I didn’t realize there was anything wrong with being black.

“I did hear on the radio her calling O Bambi, ‘my baby daddy’. It was in her own words! I guess that’ll be on fightthesmears, too, huh?”

Think we ought to turn her into the Obama Marxist Thug: ‘Smear Site’?

After all...that’s what Marxists/communists do..they are encouraged to turn in their own family members....LOL

"I did hear on the radio her calling O Bambi, ‘my baby daddy’."

I just listened to Rush playing it over 3 times and she said; "My babies daddy" It makes a difference.

He’s the one who’s trying to portray himself as Mr. Black Dude. For some reason, he has decided that ghetto behavior and mannerisms (not to mention paranoia and delusion) are “authentically black” and give him credibility. And now he whines when people comment on it. What a loser.

There was an “s”—my babies’ daddy. After Barry takes the stage, he thanks Rev. Wright and his church, too.

It’s getting to the point that any opposition to O!bama is considered racist.

Socialists aren’t a race.

>How can that be when Obama is only Halfrican-American?<

LOL! Oh, very good, Caj!

Word has it that he is, indeed, 50% white, 12% black and 38% Arab! He is using the black card to hide his Muslim roots.
