Charlie Sheen Criticizes Obama, in Ebonics, for Focusing on NCAA Bracket over Soldiers
Breitbart ^ | March 19, 2015 | Breitbart News

Posted on 03/20/2015 5:28:49 PM PDT by concernedcitizen76

Actor Charlie Sheen sent a message on Twitter Thursday afternoon mocking Barack Obama for working on his NCAA tournament bracket instead of giving attention to U.S. soldiers.

Barry Satera Kenya u won't attend a soldier's funeral uhkros da street that u kild yet u hav time 4 brackets? s a d c http://t.co/KM1in5MPio

— Charlie Sheen (@charliesheen) March 19, 2015

The tweet, written to sound like Ebonics and intentionally morphing Obama’s name, makes reference to an unknown soldier’s funeral and links to a screen shot of the President on TV discussing his “Barack-etology” bracket for the college basketball tournament.

Sheen amplified attention to his critique with his permutation of Obama’s name, “Barry Soetero Kenya.” Most of the press has taken this flourish as a nod to the Birther movement–those who believe Obama was not born in Kenya, not the United States.

After a deluge of critical news coverage calling Sheen racist, the actor tweeted a second time, comparing his tweet to a joke Obama made about himself. “I just repeated a joke the president told last week!” Sheen said, posting an InfoWars link defending his Kenya quip. Through a combination of hashtag and emoji, Sheen punctuated the tweet with the slang slogan “Keep It 100,” meaning to be 100% honest.

This is not the first time Sheen has flirted with Birtherism. In 2011, he explicitly said he was skeptical of the President being a natural-born citizen and the legitimacy of the birth certificate Obama released to the public.

Sheen certainly isn't my first choice for spokesman;
But it needed saying.

(in whatever language he may elect).

Anecdotally, some of the libs are getting worried. Meanwhile, the progs are nihilists, so they’re down for the holocaust under Obama. Their bumper stickers read: “Suicide or bust.”

I suppose the fact that an 18 year old soundly thrashed any semblance of credibility that 0bama's so-called birth certificate had might have something to do with his skepticism. One of the most amateurish photoshops in the history of photoshops.

I’ve heard a few things that indicate that, too. But most won’t admit it.

Yes, Progressives are a sick bunch.

This may have only been a lucid interval, but it's still miles ahead of the average Obama voter. So roughly half of our voters are not as high-functioning as Charlie.

He could always change his name back to Carlos Estevez to avoid trouble. Being minority is good.

Actually most of those voters respond in a way that they feel will produce the maximum amount of government payback for their vote.

They could give a rip about foreign policy or deficits, and want to maximize EBT, Section 8, TANF, Obamaphones, 99 week unemployment, Medicaid, EITCs, and whatever other gravy is dispensed.
