Bill Maher on Friday said Barack Obama's problem is "he's only half black." He'd be a better president "if he was fully black."
In the season premiere of HBO's "Real Time," while chatting with former Clinton labor secretary Robert Reich, the host said, "Isn't Obama's big problem is that he does everything half-assed? Maybe it's because he's only half black."
As if that wasn't enough, "There's a white man in him holding him back because everything is half-assed."
As I understand it, he’s 1/16 Black, 7/16 Arab and 1/2 Caucasian.
Not sure that isn’t right. His granddad was so radical the FBI had a file on him and of course his mom was plan old trash. His dad(major drinking problem) at least got himself here and went to school.
Beyond ironic. Is there anybody whiter than that nasty , libertine, elitist mediocrity ?
Maher would be a more coherent commentator if he had full brain.
“His dad(major drinking problem) at least got himself here and went to school.’
But, he was also a radical MARXIST.
Obama would be a far better President if he were a full American.
Treason, like stupidity, has no color.
This is how the left will separate from Obama by peeling away his black support under the pretense he is only “half-black”.
I predict we will see this theme coming from more and more black liberals, thus giving permission to all white, liberal pundits for an all-out assault on Obama’s race, background and policies.
Yeah, I know that's not what MLK said - it's sarcasm.
The color of his skin has nothing to do with it. The half-frikken American mental/marxist/philosophical issues.
hmmm...Maher seems angrier/less reasonable by the day.
Y’know, it would almost be worthwhile to spend the money and take the time to visit Maher’s new star on Hollywood Boulevard, just so my dog could relieve herself appropriately.
(I’d do it myself, but Sasha Cohen already beat me to it in “Borat”.)
Hey! Maybe I could borrow one of the those guys from South of Market in San Francisco. They have no problem with public defecation...
Obama would be a better president if he were a lot of things, but the color of his skin has nothing to do with it.
He’s a racist and mental midget if he believes that skin color adds or detracts from a person’s abilities.
I thought he was half white....
You wonder if Maher’s logic (would that qualify for an oxymoron?) would hold for the likes of Alan Keyes or Clarence Thomas.
Hypocrisy makes me laugh.....and cry.
correct, it’s his totalitarian superior American hating communist side that is holding him back
I feel nobama would be a better president if he were president of his neighborhood activity committee or HOA swimming pool regulation committee.
