Obama: GOP Trying To Paint Michelle And I As "Too Black" - Politics on The Huffington Post

Obama: GOP Trying To Paint Michelle And I As "Too Black" - Politics on The Huffington Post: "Barack Obama said Thursday at a fundraiser in Chicago that the GOP is trying to make him and his wife Michelle appear 'scary' and 'too black.'

'They're going to try to make me into a scary guy. They're even trying to make Michelle into a scary person. Right?' Obama said at an event in the Hyde Park area, according to CNN."

Obama Baby Mama

Fox News which many in the African American Community consider racist has taken it's attacks on Michelle Obama to a whole new level. On a broadcast on 06/11/08 they refereed to Michelle Obama as "Obama Baby Mama". Don't take my word for it look at the picture below on which they use the term in their on air graphic.

So much for fair and balanced. There is no way even the racist leaning Fox producers and host did not know this was wrong. I mean just dead wrong. Maybe a bunch of elitist white producers thought they were being hip or cool but calling Michelle Obama a "baby's mama" is uncalled for. Especially for what is supposed to be a professional news organization.

For those that think it's just a joke or that baby mama is a term of endearment let me define Baby's Mama.

A baby's mama is just some girl that a guy gets pregnant. Just some girl he had sex with. This person is no one he wants to be with or marry. If he had been a thinking with the right head there is no way in hell he would have gotten her pregnant. If a guy would refers to a woman as a baby's mama it shows he does not have much respect for her.

Michelle Obama is a lot more than that. She is far from any damned baby's mama. She could well be the next first lady of the United States and should be treated with the dignity and respect she has earned. She should be given the respect that ANY women should be given regardless of her place in society.

Leave it to Fox News to keep giving traction to those that believe they are anything but fair and balanced. Can anyone name another cable news outlet where this would have been accepatable?

Crooks and Liars » Joe Lieberman’s Obama Betrayal

Crooks and Liars » Joe Lieberman’s Obama Betrayal: "When he was fighting for his political life in 2006, Joe Liberman desperately reached out to Senator Obama for his coveted endorsement — and Obama came through. Now, when the time comes for Senator Lieberman to repay the favor — at least in terms of not helping to spread Obama-is-a-muslim smears — HolyJoe is nowhere to be found. Talk about appreciation."

Fox News: Michelle Obama is "Obama's Baby Mama"

HOW LOW CAN FAUX NEWS CAN GO!

An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he'd spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as "Obama's baby mama."

I checked, and sure enough, as you can see below, our e-mailer was right. In fact, that description was displayed on-screen several times during the segment, which featured anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, an FNC contributor.

A clip of the segment in its entirety is below. You may notice that at one point, Malkin says, "By the way, it's not just Republicans who are criticizing some of her comments, but also statements have been made in the left-leaning blog Salon about her comments." I've searched the site, and I can't find anything like what Malkin is talking about. I've e-mailed Malkin asking for clarification -- if and when she responds, I'll update this post.

Media Matters - Matthews: Is Obama "too University of Chicago or too South Side Chicago" for working-class voters?: "Having previously questioned whether Sen. Barack Obama can 'connect with regular people' or if he appeals 'only' to African-Americans and the well-educated, MSNBC's Chris Matthews asked if Obama is 'too University of Chicago or too South Side Chicago' for working-class voters. Matthews made his comments after MSNBC senior campaign correspondent Tucker Carlson asserted that 'the working-class voters of West Virginia and Kentucky, and their counterparts in a bunch of states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania' are 'the voters you need to watch and he [Obama] needs to win.'"

Oklahoma Democrat won't endorse Obama - CNN.com

Oklahoma Democrat won't endorse Obama - CNN.com: "WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the same day Democratic leaders stressed party unity after the drawn-out primary fight, one congressional Democrat said Tuesday that he will not endorse Sen. Barack Obama's bid for the White House. Rep. Dan Boren, Oklahoma's lone Democrat in Congress, said he has to listen to the wishes of his own constituents.

"We're much more conservative," Boren told The Associated Press.

His rural district stretches across the eastern part of the state and borders Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas.

"I've got to reflect my district. No one means more to me than the people who elected me. I have to listen to them," Boren told the AP.

His congressional office confirmed the quotes to CNN.

Boren also said Obama's record "does not reflect working in a bipartisan fashion." "

Americans prefer to see Black entertainers with nonblack mommas than Black mommas. This has been on my mind since Obama clinched the nomination last week. I was thinking Shirley Chisholm, Jesse Jackson, Carol Moseley Braun, Leonora Fulani, Alan Keyes, Al Sharpton, Colin Powell.

These Americans don’t want to be reminded of the fact that a lot of mixing were done before 1960s, before Loving. They ignore the past and present IRs as being progressive, esp. Black men w/nonblack women. Then, they pat themselves on the back on how progressive they are when in reality they are really not.
