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?
Sure he would. Here he is with Father Pfegler. Seriously.
It doesn’t matter...
If the media and “folks” start talking about this.
It is good as done. Why?
Because the White South will hear “Whitey” and the Obama lovers will hear “Why d he”.
If she said either...that is all we need the rest will be perception and wich one catches quicker!!!
All we need is a stinken tape!!!! THen let it role......
Popcorn please!!!!!
“I wonder how much Obama is willing to pay for the tape?”
You mean...’How much is GEORGE SOROS willing to pay for the tape?’
Of course it whitey's fault. Whitey didn't pay off her student loans for her and that didn't help her children.
Ping.
Post 3 is going to keep me giggling all day. Thank you, Tex.
Jimi may never have sang these words but he DID sing Scuse me while I kiss THAT guy. in at least one concert (recordings of it exist).
Wow! damage control started before damage itself. That’s a change!
“Obama freaks wont care. Superdelegates will. Hence, Hillary has to get it out there pronto.”
And even THAT won’t help her with WHITE supers from heavily-black areas. They must support Obama, no matter WHAT happens to him if they want a future in politics.
The ones she has to peel away are the white and latino’s from rural and white areas.
Michelle Obama readies the " Eliza Doolittle" defense.
Wrong Eliza..............
Roger Stone has been known to be full of c*ap at times.
I'm sure the timing of its release is being considered very precisely. A possible contender for media attention is the outcome of Kennedy's surgery.
Why does everyone believe that there is only ONE copy of a “tape”? There are always more copies.
Odd that if it exists, there is more “respect” to not disclose it than there was to keep the Abu Ghraib photos offline until AFTER the war had ended. After all, the participants were already under prosecution. And one of the participants blackmailed the US government by threatening to release them to the media if a plea bargain could not be reached.
Why D GATE
an Narrow D’ WAY!
I am not the only one laughing at your humorous post.
I thought she was really saying:
“I’m sofa king. We todd did.”
***Can you say Why D GATE!!/***
As long as it’s not wide stance (aka Larry Craig’s wide stance)
I heard that Barry is planning a huge victory bash this week in Minneapolis—home of the GOP Convention.
