Michelle Obama wants you to feel bad for her, and for Barack, because they are black.
“I think people forget that we’ve lived in the White House for six years,” Michelle says in People Magazine. “Before that, Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs.”
Oh, the horror.
Why didn’t the emperor clean up Chicago neighborhoods with his pen and his phone while he was there? Cabs likely would have stopped more frequently if the city, especially the South and West Sides, wasn't infested by crime.
No doubt there is racism in Chicago, a city I lived in longer than Barack Obama did.
But much of it is the latent kind—and it’s committed by both whites and blacks.
Chicago, you’ll remember, is a city that is home to the Jesse Jacksons, both senior and junior.
And as a white man, remind me to tell you the times I’ve had trouble catching a cab in the rain or the cold in Washington, D.C, another city in which I lived longer than Barack Obama did.
No doubt there is racism in D.C. and much of it is the active kind.
D.C. is a city where Mayor-for-Life Marion Barry, despite his many crimes, succeeded as a race baiter because he was black.
Michelle Obama goes on to say that she’s been mistaken for a worker at Target.
Oh, the horror.
Why don’t you try being a worker at Target, Michelle, which after all is an honorable job?
Because there was the time I remember when I was flagged down as a bus boy at the Ritz Carlton. No mistake there. I was an actual bus boy at the Ritz Carlton as an adult because it was the best job I could get. And it was damn hard, honorable, good-paying work for someone who was a writer.
I was very happy to have the opportunity.
See, what Michelle fails to mention is how much she owes America for the opportunity.
What other country in the world would have given Barack Hussein Obama a chance at a time when the word is engaged in a vast war against radical Islam?
Then there is the matter of Obama’s mansion in Chicago.
What other country in the world would have overlooked the crooked payoff the Obamas got-- not just from Tony Rezko, who made their mansion purchase possible-- but from the entire Chicago Outfit, including major media, like the Chicago Tribune? The Tribune endorsed Obama despite knowing EXACTLY who Barack Obama was.
Yes, no doubt there is racism in this country. But it is a product of both sides, black as well as white. And most definitely, on average, the Obamas have benefited from such racism.
After all, they have not suffered from the real racism endemic to America: The education system has served them both very well; there have been no extended periods of unemployment for either of them; Barack has not been incarcerated over petty drug dealing; if Obama suffers from a shortened life span it will likely because of his smoking, not his race.
Where real racism amongst blacks resides is in education, employment, incarceration and longevity. And Michelle and Barack have no real experience in actually solving any of those problems. In fact, Obama killed the one education program in D.C. aimed at giving blacks an equal footing in regards to education.
And oh, let me tell you, that’s horrible.
And racist too.
The Obamas have received abundantly from this country because they are black.
It’s time for them to stop scolding a country that gave them so much.
And give back because they are black.
“The Obamas have received abundantly from this country because they are black.
It’s time for them to stop scolding a country that gave them so much.
And give back because they are black.”
It’s never enough, and they will never appreciate anything that’s been done for them. I do pray for the salvation of their souls.
The fact that I can't walk down the street where I lived for 20 years because it's infested with corrupt blacks.
The fact that a black held my 85 year old mother at gunpoint during a robbery while she cried and prayed the rosary.
“Before that, Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs.”
I think it was ‘crabs’ that he was catching.
America is starting to wake up to the harsh reality that we have more pressing problems to worry about than appeasing black whiners, including the current occupants of the White House. Let the black men who can’t catch a cab do their own damn diligence in getting black people to behave better, so they can catch a cab. The rest of us have a country to save.
Michelle Obama being asked to do a favor for someone, one of the little people? The horror!
Uh, he “had his share of trouble” with a lot of things, like casting a vote in the Illinois legislature — although that’s what he was hired to do.
I don’t know who I more despise:
the Obama’s or the people that voted for him.
I'd love to see their SATs and LSATs along with the numbers for the entire admission class.
“Michelle Obama goes on to say that she’s been mistaken for a worker at Target.”
No, she wasn’t “mistaken for a worker”, she was merely asked AS A FELLOW CUSTOMER to get something off a high shelf.
This should be MO’s “Bush and the grocery scanner” moment: so out of touch with normal behavior that she’s confused by an equal (just another shopper) asking her to do something mundane out of mutual kindness.
I go with the ones who voted for and worship him ,because without them[other comments censored because they are not appropriate on a family forum] he would not be occupying the white House at this time.
The only way these people are even in power is because they’re black. I’m so sick of these two and their poor me attitudes. I’m sick of the Jacksons, Sharptons, Holders and Jarrett types as well. May they all rot in hell.
A tour guide and I were mistaken for hookers and asked to leave the Ritz Hotel in Paris. We are both white.
We had on cheap plastic raincoats and entered the Ritz to go to the coffee shop for coffee as it was very cold outside. A highly dressed man employed by the Ritz, came to us and asked us to leave. We had no choice, we had to leave. Once outside, the tour guide said he must have thought we were hookers based on the flimsy raincoats we had on.
Remember this - wearing a cheap raincoat means you may be a hooker, no matter your skin color.
No, Laz, as much as you want it to be true - I am not a hooker. :o)
Amen to that.
And that is what you desire, a race war in America. Then you will feel good about being an American. And trash is trash not matter how it is wrapped.
You’re right and I agree.
Royalty hates it when someone thinks that they are one of the peasants.
If I was a worker at Target, I'd be ashamed to be confused with someone who hates the USA as much as Michelle does.
