A really interesting theory about the alleged Michelle Obama tape, which could explain a lot, from the liberal blog Booman Tribune. Michelle, offering a speech critical of President Bush, offers a refrain of "why'd he" — the words "why did he" mushed together — that sounds like "whitey" on the tape.
Apparently, if the tape ever comes to light, her words will sound something like:
Whitey cut folks off Medicaid?
Whitey let New Orleans drown?
Whitey do nothing about Jena?
Whitey put us in Iraq for no reason?
...when the intended message is,
Why'd he cut folks off Medicaid?
Why'd he let New Orleans drown?
Why'd he do nothing about Jena?
Why'd he put us in Iraq for no reason?
Or so we will be told. The irony is, if the latter interpretation is accurate, we still have a potential first lady accusing her husband's predecessor of "letting" New Orleans drown.
UPDATE: Contemplating the rumor below, I wondered when and how Michelle Obama and Louis Farrkhan would appear on a panel together. Farrakhan doesn't seem like the type to voluntarily share the stage. But then I noted that in late 2007, Trinity United gave Farrakhan its lifetime achievement award with a full ceremony — the video shown that evening is still on YouTube, with the feminine announcer declaring, "For his commitment to truth, education and leadership, we honor Minister Louis Farrakhan with the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. lifetime achievement award." (Before you ask, the announcer is not Michelle Obama.) Is it possible the two are at the head table for a banquet? Is this the circumstance of Michelle Obama's remarks?
They say 10 monkeys with typewriters would write the works of Shakespeare given infinite time. For Michelle’s college thesis, 2 monkeys - 15 minutes.
He married her off for crying out loud!
That's funny right there, I don't care who ya are.
I think an extremely effectual tape would/will hold more substance against Ms Obama than simply exposing her usage of the term “whitey.” It is the question of her view of America that has caused the most controversy to date.
Again, open to interpretation..."Once again, the 'RLight' man keeps us down, what’s up with 'RLighty', Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the 'RLight' man gives us.”
He, he :)
If the transcript is accurate, it sounds like she is intentionally tying “Whitey” to “Why’d he”.
Obama freaks won’t care. Superdelegates will. Hence, Hillary has to get it out there pronto. LOL
>>what’s said in this Obamabot’s blog
Obamabot. Hmmm, that got me thinking - he’s being compared to JFK. Sooooo, if he’s elected, do that mean we’ll have Obamalot in the White House? (Standing by for responses a la Monty Python.)
Mike Myers’ face said “Oh, God, the idiot went there...do I have to stay on the stage with this moron?”
“’Scuse me while I kiss this guy.” J. Hendrix
Whether SHE said it, or FARAKHAN said it, with her showing approval to the remarks, this could finish him...
If Obama's camp has a copy of the tape, he will only let it be played after he secures the nomination and well ahead of Nov voting.
I'm sure Ickes, Davis, Begala and Carville are making all sorts of offers and deals to get to that tape before Howie Dean selects Obama as the Dem's Presidential Candidate.
Boy is that pure BS. The fact is that the talk at Obama’s church was always about Whitey this and Whitey that. I even heard a tape of an Oprah Winfrey radio show where she used the term, Whitebread, to refer to a white person.
The fact is, the Blacks think that they can use pejorative terms to refer to White people because they were victims. They call it restorative justice. I’m thinking that if and when this tape surfaces, we can all put an end to political correctness. Either the Blacks clean up their act, or suffer the consequences.
Wasn’t the Jena Six her bridesmaids?
If the major network that is rumored to have the rumored tape would release it, the speculation would end.
But I guess they are trying to find the right way to excuse it if it does exist.
and the waiting continues......
Hillary sure is determined.
Johnson also said that Rove was about to be indicted. And he said in 2001 that there was no terrorist threat to Americans. He was a villain to FR in the past, now he’s a credible source?
No, now go away or I shall taunt you(r wife) a second time.
Over on KOS, they are noting the sudden lack of campaign stops on Obama’s schedule.
Is he trying to stay low for a while?
