"He said I know this is going to be — lead to some, quote, difficulty for the guys who work on those rigs.

Well, if he thinks that some guys on the rigs are the only people that are going to be affected by a six-month oil moratorium, he’s out of his cotton-picking mind."

I don’t think President Hussein knows how an industrial society runs. We can’t go back to hunting and gathering.

I had no idea that “cotton pickin mind” had now become a racist insult. It was always just a euphemism for people who didn’t want to say somebody was out of their “G -D” mind or even out of their (obscenity) mind. It may have been meant to rhyme with “frickin.”

Oh well. I guess if you look hard enough, you can find “racism” anywhere.

Ya know... it didn’t occur to me at first that “cotton pickin’” is inherently racist, it’s used as a minor epithet so much that it has lost its underlying meaning.

Historically, who picks cotton in the U.S.?

Did he ever have a mind? He is a empty suit being controlled and directed by the Communists of America, his Administration. We have been taken over by the real power in America, corruption, criminals, and the free loaders.

There will be some left wing outrage, once they get the green light that Newsweek’s Julia Reed is a Republican from New Orleans and not a liberal Democrat just because she once lived in NYC and was editor of Vogue.

For some folks, saying "That's a pretty cloud" can be inherently racist -- that's how they view the world.

My brother-in-law as a child in rural North Carolina picked cotton. But he’s Swedish, so that probably doesn’t count. :-)
