Ah .. Chicago. Since BHO not long ago spoke on “who da baby daddy” implications, maybe he can next speak on racially generated slang.

Let’s review. The dollar is in a death spiral. The price of a barrel of oil is at unheard of levels. The stock markets are crashing, banks are failing, the housing market in disarray, Iraq is an ongoing disaster-surge or no surge, Afghanistan is getting worse (9 US dead yesterday as well as a wedding party-thanks George), and a war with Iran looms on the horizon…and with all that, some people think that Obama is unqualified because a comedian makes a funny but inappropriate (given the venue) joke?? Are you people on crack!!! Where are your priorities??

Obama’s flip-offs are legendary. But to do an actual sexist flip-off on stage at a fundraiser at which he’s invited an edgy racey comedian with narrow base is….well…dumbocratic at best!

First, Obama goes on stage in N.C. day after his pathetically inept perforamnce at the Pa. ABC Debate and “flip-offs” with his midfinger his fellow (female) senator Hillary Clinton, smirking, waiting for his audience to ‘clue in’ his insulting, obscene and juvenile gesture. Then he scrapes her off his shoulders and his shoes (as in excrement)! His well-orchestrated misogynist JayZRapper wannabe act was apparently a hit with his Madison-Avenue-inspired cool Obamabotic strategy.

To be prompted by his audience to tell over-the-edge
comedian Bernie Mac to “cool it, you gotta clean up your act, Bernie, this is a family affair” and reverse his statement instantaneously by adding…”I’m just messing with you Bernie”!

This is TYPICAL ObaMyopia. Obama just can’t seem to learn that you don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth. First you tell your invited known sexist humorist to “clean up” his act that includes an 8-year-old boy asking his mother and sister if they’re whores and the father telling the boy that yup, his mom and sis are indeed whores, like all women. And then with your next sentence you tell the moron that you’re “just messing” with him and you didn’t mean it.

So, Obama wasn’t serious at all about getting serious with the thorny issue of woman-hatred that has plagued and continues to plague his crypto-misogynistic campaign which received an able assist from the media misogynist frat-boy enablers that pushed him to a fraudulent ‘finish-line’.

What should be sending red signals to the Democrats is that Obama’s flip-offs have been accelerating dangerously to the point where even his second sentence contradicts his previous one–with alarming consequences for his integrity as a presidential candidate representing all his constituents. He has made it abundantly clear that women’s issues and sensitivities have, at best, a secondary role to play in his administration and, at worst, “family values” consist of promoting to pre-teenaged boys the idea that their mothers and sisters can aspire to the profitable status of an American hooker.

Given Obama’s own pathetic lack of pay equity within his own campaign where his female staffers get 70 cents on the dollar compared with their male counterparts, perhaps Bernie Mac’s recommendations would not be so funny or unrealistic. The family unit’s female members may indeed be encouraged to resort to prostitution in order to adhere to the newly-minted “family values” under ‘cool’ President Obama. And ladies and gals, I ain’t messing with you on this one!

P.S. Pumas are roaring with Bernie’s comedy routine, and not with appreciation! They just can’t see the ObaMyopic humor in it.

Bernie Mac has said this joke hundreds of times before to larger audiences and on televion before. It has never caused any kind of controversy. You would think a room full of liberals could handle a joke. We don’t need another group of morality police in the White House.

Also I am very impressed by all of the kids in the audience who were able to put up the $2300 for the fundraiser.

“When Obama was sworn in as senator he used the quran, Big mistake by the U.S.Senate to let that happen, everyone else uses the Bible.”

Unfortunately, you have Senator Obama confused with another black man who happens to be a congressman from Minnesota. His name is congressman Ellison and he is a Muslim. Senator Obama may have been sat in an unorthodox nationalist Christian church but he is not a Muslim. I guess it is pretty easy to confuse a Senator from Chicago with a Congressman from Minnesota.

[...] any restraint. Bernie Mac was the comedian for Barry’s fund-raiser last night according to Reuters. Apparently, Barry told him that “That means, by the way, Bernie you got to clean up your [...]

There was an awkward moment and nervous laughter from the crowd of about 600 people who had paid $2,300 each to attend the fundraiser at a Chicago hotel. One person objected to the word “ho” — a contraction of the word “whore” used as derogatory slang for woman — and urged Bernie Mac to leave and make way for Obama.

“That means, by the way, Bernie, you got to clean up your act,” Obama said. “This is a family affair.”

This is beyond bias bordering on outright duplicity. Obama never said anything about “race, religion, region, class or gender” at the event. He said Bernie Mac should keep it clean, that this was a “family affair” and then said, “I’m just messing with you.” I’m more and more turned off by Obama’s campaign, if that’s at all possible, when I see the media working overtime to defuse his tasteless remarks and poor judgment. This is not possible in the real world of diplomatic relations where Obama has promised to meet with rogue leaders without preconditions in his first year.

Dearest Trudi
In response to your claim about Imus:

“Btw, why is it OK for a black man to call women hos when it’s not OK for a white man (Imus) to do it ??”

Imus said “Nappy headed hos” which I must point out is completely different than what Bernie said. First of all, calling them nappy headed was just straight racist which was the primary concern. Second, Bernie is COMEDIAN!!
This guilty by association is completely unfounded.

Also why is everyone all of a sudden up in arms about potential sexism . . . Obama has done nothing to merit being called a misogynistic. Why not start hate groups for Dave Chapelle then, and Eddie Murphy, o and definitely the late and great George Carland, because all Mr. Mac was doing was his job. Anything short of Obama using the words himself does not justify all this labeling.

By the way:

Tons of men would sleep with a great looking woman if she paid $50,000.

So there is nothing intrinsically misogynist in such a joke. It just says that everyone has their price…which would be funny everywhere but at a political function.

The diversionary Bernie Mac issue pales mightily when compared with real issues…issues that count.

I have a good example of a real issue.

I’m a lot more concerned about why Mr. Obama voted for the bill that Mr. Bush signed into law day before yesterday, Mr. & Mrs. Reader. Mr. McCain avoided the vote. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Kerry voted against it. Mr. Kennedy avoided the vote also. A lot of democrats voted for it, and the vast majority of republicans likewise. Mr. Webb voted for it. Mr. Lieberman and Mr. Specter voted for it too.

The most recent law is a continuation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978. It is called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008.

I’ve never much cared for a legislative & executive law that has not had its constitutionality tested in the courts (i.e., has not been “constitutionally checked & balanced” by the judicial branch)…and especially one that has at its core a secret court doing secret things without demonstrated Probable Cause…especially when there are plenty of judges who are experienced at issuing search warrants when and if there IS demonstrated Probable Cause, the latter as dictated by the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, to wit:

“Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

During the half dozen years that I was an active duty military commander, I had the responsibility of enforcing the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Probable Cause was something that I had to be very, very careful of having before I could take action under the UCMJ, i.e., before I could conduct a lawful search.

So, why again are Bernie Mac’s diversionary remarks even important…by comparison? Perspective here is sort of out of whack, wouldn’t you say, Mr. & Mrs. Reader? I think so.

All I can say is that whomever “the 545*” happen to be come January 20th when the new president joins the team…I hope that they have their heads screwed on straight. However, I don’t foresee secret courts doing secret things without demonstrated Probable Cause going away anytime soon…especially when the likely new president (Mr. Obama) votes for such things & especially when the possible new president (Mr. McCain) avoids voting against such things.

The problem with doing secret things is that there is no way of demonstrating that said secret things actually prevented an attack on the United States…because said secret things cannot be discussed because they are secret. Yes, that’s a lot of secret stuff!

So, we Americans have to take at face value claims made by politicians who do these secret things…without demonstrated proof that said claims are in fact true.

OK Jack
