Pretty Sneaky

"This is supposed to make you believe that in this tape from before he was president, Barack Obama is revealing his secret plan to be way more black than he seems to you now. This is how he snuck into the White House, right? People didn't know he was this black and if they would have known he was this black, they never would have elected. That's the idea here, right?" - Rachel Maddow

This is a great quote that perfectly explains the complex relationship between barack Obama and his supporters. It was made by, left wing looney Rachel Maddow, as she was attacking a video tape showing Obama channeling Al Sharpton at a convention of black preachers. It's quite an astounding tape. I had never heard Obama speak with that kind of accent, which can only be described as African-American preaching. It's very reminiscent of Hillary's "Ya'll-know-what-I'm-talkin'-about" speech also given to a black audience. Oddly enough, Obama looks just about as out of place as Hillary did during that speech. In short, he looks like a white man trying to play a black man. It's surreal.

I'm still trying to determine how this differs from somebody wearing black face and performing a minstral show.

But don't you just love Rachel. Somebody please explain her quote for me. Those nasty Republicans are pointing out that our President is in fact, black. Actually it's worse than that. They are accusing him of hiding his blackness for the purpose of fooling America, but they won't let him get away with that. Those right wingers have come up with a slanderous video tape that says clearly and right out loud, that Barack Obama is in fact BLACK. And this is just the sort of cheap, underhanded gimmick that they love to pull. Before you know it, everybody in America will be under the inpression that BHO is black, and you will never be able to squelch that rumor. Twenty years form now, people will be recalling where they were on Otctober 3rd, 2012, the day they learned our President was black.
