This could be worse than mixing metaphors. If Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama is going to ad lib in a speech about the economy by invoking black 1970s breakthrough TV, he could at least get it right.
In his Oct. 29 speech in Raleigh, N.C., Obama railed against Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain on various issues about the economy, specifically including tax cuts and the privatization of Social Security. He proposed that had Social Security been invested in the stock market it might cause a Fred Sanford-style reaction.
If Sen. McCain is elected, well have another president who wants to privatize part of your Social Security, Obama said. That aint right. Can you imagine if you had your Social Security invested in the stock market these last two weeks? These last two months? You wouldnt need Social Security. Youd be having a you know like, what was it. Sanford and Son, Im coming Weezie. It aint right.

What chu talking about Willis?
What you talkin about Willis?
It’s like Bill Cosby used to say, “what’chu talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?”
comments and pics on this thread are toooo funny *lol*
Dyn-o-mite! That brings back memories. That “Re-Run” guy was so funny! Or maybe I’m thinking of that kid with the big glasses, I can’t remember...oh well anyway, it’s all good!
Investing in US Treasury bills is not exactly risky strategy.
But then O never cares about the facts.
No worries, Obama just confused his sitcom lines...he meant to sing The Jefferson’s “Movin’ on up...to a dee-lux apartment...”
“Lizbeth....I’m coming to join ya”...thats vintage Fred Sanford
C’mon...Obamster was a teenager when these shows were on, so he had to know the difference. Or maybe he was in Indonesia at the time
And, The Jefferson’s were very well off, while Fred Sanford was barely making it as a junk dealer
Aunt Esther would say to Obama: “You fish-eyed fool”
Good thing Obamster didnt say “DY-NO-MITE”
“Dyn-O-mite!”
Whatchoo talking bout Freedom?
Obama is a dufus, Rufus.
Devastating!
Ironically, the reason the Jeffersons could be “movin’ on up” was that George was able to buy and run a dry cleaning business that provided the income necessary to “move on up”.
Under 0bama, he’d be punished severely in the tax code for “movin’ on up”.
You got that right. Media would be on it 24/7. It would be evidence, nay, proof that McCain was stupid, senile out of touch and racist. They wouldn’t let up until even Sarah Palin denounced him and the wife divorced him.
One has to wonder what Norman Lear is now thinking, his candidate messing up his shows this way.
And they said W. was dumb. Sheesh. Hope there’s video of this. (BTW, Redd Foxx did more for this country than Obama.)
Oh, this is just too sweet! McCain ad writers: get to work! Sanford might possibly get a tax break, but Jefferson would get hosed.
The whole premise is flawed.
