Video: Obama’s Wife Plays Race Card on ‘60 Minutes’
Hot Air ^ | 2/12/07

VIDEO IS HERE

Chicago Tribune:

The heavy presence of security around Obama was also a silent reminder of the change that took place with the announcement. Michelle Obama, the candidate’s wife, acknowledged it in an interview to air on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” in which she was asked if she fears for her husband’s life as a black candidate.

“I don’t lose sleep over it because the realities are that . . . as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station,” Michelle Obama said in the interview, set to air Sunday night. “You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”

Well, I’m sure glad I’m white because that means I won’t be shot while “going to the gas station.” I forgot about that unwritten rule where only black men can be shot and no one else.

After, we all know that white politicians NEVER get shot! /sarc

When all is said and done, the race card is the only one Obama has. The Democrat voter is in a real quandry with Hillary and Barack Hussein-they'll have to choose between misogyny and racism!

"as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station,”

It's called "BLACK ON BLACK CRIME"

It was one of those things where she looked totally POd at him and he looked like he was trying really hard to act like he didn't notice.

If he were white, Dems would be laughing at his candidacy vs. Hillary.

Yep but the odds are heavy he would be shot by another black man doing a driveby than anyone else. The leading killer of blacks are themselves.

Either she forgot to add, or the Tribune edited out that he "could get shot going to the gas station . . . by his own people."

I keep having this dream. Obamasama gets elected President and as he is sworn in, smiling broadley, he reaches under his chin and pulls his face off to reveal his true identity...

Louis Farrakan.

Her sick remark combined with Obama's ranting at our Australian ally show they are not ready for prime time.

FWIW Mrs. Obama anyone can get shot at a gas station. That was an ugly stupid racist remark.

Of course, to say nothing of the Caucasian men & women that the black terrorists John Allen Muhammad & Lee Boyd Malvo shot at gas stations & other locations in Virginia & Maryland. And the race of which black Police Chief Charles A. Moose of Montgomery County, MD withheld (and his Caucasian leftist wife attempted to deny) until the public outcry became too great!

Sheesh...

I've never seen her until today. She looks bitter. Not "First Lady" material in my opinion.

as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station,? Michelle Obama said

The only people I remember involved in gas station shootings were white people getting shot by the DC sniper who was a "disgruntled" Black muslim.

Why would he get shot at a gas station when Hillary said Ghandi works at gas stations?

I think what she meant to say that he's more likely to shoot someone at the gas station.

Given Obama's record of achievement, it's the only card she has to play.

Yeah...if he's geting gas in a black neighborhood. That's generally where blacks get killed doing things like going to a gas station.
