[h=1]Obamas on Race: We've Been Treated Like the Help[/h]
“Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs," Michelle Obama told the magazine.
On one occasion, she said, her husband “was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner, and somebody asked him to get coffee.”
President Obama said he's even been mistakenly treated as a valet.
“There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys," he said, according to excerpts of the interview released today.

Personally, I'd be inclined to just stick the keys in my pocket and then toss then in the nearest trash can.

But, then, maybe that's just my (bleep!) you attitude. I'm sure the POTUS would never do such a thing.

Would he?

I would love to pull up to the obamas outside a restaurant in my purple late 90s Suzuki and hand hin my keys LOL
It actually doesn't surprise me something like that would happen though, I wouldn't blame him if he did do as you suggested
 
Michelle Obama is pathetic as is Obama's poor-black-me crap. The man's president of the United States, they both are millionaires, and whining about how mistreated they have been in life in the USA.

For such comments they both deserve total ridicule. Other than him defining the typical African-American male as a violent thug and her making a pile of money urging poor African-Americans to go to the poor people's clinic so to not clutter the fully staffed and equipped hospital, was has either done for African-Americans?

Like I said in the other thread that is going on about this same thing...

Thats so sad. He once was given keys to a car to park because he was black. Thats almost as bad as when he was given the keys to the White House for the same reason.

In the article I believe President Obama is showing his bias. "There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys,""

I happen to know a black male in his age group that has never had that happened to him.

One of my employees in the 80's was half native american (father side) and have mexican (mother side.) He carried himself well. He told me that his work ethic and how he presented himself was so people would see him as a excellent worker/person with potential and not some minority. I can say it worked. When I first met him I didn't see a minority, I saw a very hard worker who was smart and would be an asset to the fire organization.

Obama and his wife needs to get over themselves. They have done very well to rise up to be the President and First Lady of the US.

imo, they have forgotten the words of Martin Luther King presented in his I have a dream speech.

Um, but assuming that someone is "the help" due to their skin color is obviously a no-no.

Good gawd, how the **** could you possibly know that's the reason?

He's just frustrated because he doesn't want to admit that Obama was elected because he wasn't frustratingly anti-hispanic, anti-infrastructure, anti-taxes, anti-abortion, anti-birth control, anti-regulation, etc.

The party of no gets exposed during national elections for not having any actual answers to anything.

Frustrated? Nah...Im the guy that correctly predicted both the 2008 and 2012 elections and since I dont vote republican, really didnt give all that much a damn.

Now...if you want to pretend that a guy that had absolutely zero experience (and it shows) at ANYTHING was elected for any reason other than his skin tone...be my guest. I wont bother posting all the videos. Again.

Hope and change!

Never seen the videos. You're the one who made the claim, so the burden of proof is on you.
 
Reminds of millionaire Whoopi Goldberg raging that McCain wanted to put her in chains. She could only wish! :lol:

:roll: Sure. A black person could never get elected on the merits, right VanceMack?
 
"Even as the first lady," she told the magazine, "during the wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf."

Yes, with the Secret Service present I'm confident she was not highly disguised. But, OK, in that Target store everyone but one person hates her, and that one person though she was a Target worker not realizing she was the hated Michelle Obama - and we all know only white people only shop at Target. HOW DARE SOMEONE ASK ME!!! TO HELP THEM!

They can't even make up good stories!
 
And? Why should I care Obama? Did you care about the people when they said no to the affordable care act? No. So **** you and your celebrity problems.

Prejudice exists. Is there some reason you'd rather not talk about it?
 
Are you people really having a hard time realizing that these stories are just examples to highlight a larger issue?

His problem is that he wasn't seen as the center of attention. How dare someone not see him as the most important thing in the world. How dare they!

Do you not realize that Obama is a whiny little bitch always looking for attention?

Of course a black person could. Especially one that actually HAS merits. Right Deuce?

Lots of them out there showing blind morons supporting Obama while completely getting all of his positions wrong. But I'm simply not interested enough to repost them, and really...what good would it do? If you honestly believe that a failed community organizer that had all of two years in the senate, no leadership roles, did nothing legislatively, etc etc etc was qualified to be president then nothing I could say would convince you otherwise. So...as I said...cling to your illusions. Its all old hat.
 
As usual, the Obamas are doing something solely for their own political purposes...not to make things better for any of their fellow Americans.

1. Michelle trots out her Target story for the second time but this time, instead of trying to make herself look like a common, down-to-earth lady, she spins it to make it look like she was stereotyped because she's black.

2. Barack, as President, really should be trying to bring all Americans together instead of furthering the divide. But either he hasn't learned his lesson the other times he's done this kind of thing...or he doesn't care. I think it's the latter.

Let's face it. Race relations in our country, right now, are at a low point and for these two to come out with these statements...well...it's not helping America one bit. The only one it helps is Obama, himself. He is desperate to make himself appear relevant now that he is a lame duck. His mantra is...and always has been...the ends justify the means. Even if those means make race relations worse for the people of the US.

I am thoroughly disgusted with the Obamas and can't wait till they are relegated to the dust bin of history.
