"Look at our history. We are Lewis and Clark and Sacajawea, pioneers who braved the unfamiliar, followed by a stampede of farmers and miners, and entrepreneurs and hucksters. That’s our spirit. That’s who we are.

[Farmer Dean]

Picked the cotton maybe,built the White House?No way.

[goodwithagun]

They didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

[mass55th]

It was your mother’s family who owned those slaves.

[dainbramaged]

What’s this “we” crap, bammy? Do you have a rat in your pocket?

[Louis Foxwell]

Huckster is the proper description of the Orator. His ancestors, to be precise, captured and sold the slaves that built the WH, his current residence. They continue that fine tradition even today.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

We need a lot of infrastructure repair and we are only one amendment away from a large cheap labor pool. (Chuckle!)

[chajin]

When Gawea begins to quarterback for the NFL, that will give Justin Houston a chance to Sacagawea.

[fatnotlazy]

The Great Uniter speaks.

[molson209]

It was your mother’s family who owned those slaves, bought from your Fathers Family

[cripplecreek]

And brewed George Washington’s beer in the white house too?

LOL

[bgill]

We should have picked our own cotton.

[King Moonracer]

No bammy, we’re the slaves who pay taxes and are called racist.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

There IS no slavery in your past, Mr President. Your father is from Kenya and you mother was a white female from Kansas.

Now, there is slavery in Moochelle's past without question.

But Mr President, you are a poser.

[Fiddlstix]

Hey! 0Bammy! You Didn't Build That!
REMEMBER
Somebody Else Did That For You!

[Politicalkiddo]

A) Nobody in the US has legally been a slave since the 13th amendment was passed. B) Nobody alive is that old. Plus, the White was built 50+ years before that amendment was passed. C) Obama is part white, and his father came from Kenya—I don’t believe that either his mother or father have slave origins in the US.

[EQAndyBuzz]

He sounded blacker than Hillary did in her famous Tahhhhhrd speech.

After listening for exactly 10 seconds, I could have sworn he was auditioning for the role of Scatman Cruthers in the upcoming, Gong Show Movie.

[molson209]

Is Obama starting his move for Reparations ?

[grania]

Obama is not black, he's not the descendent of slaves (although there is speculation that the first freed slave in the US in the 1600s might be an ancestor of his mother). He's one of those people who got on the coat-tails of laws that were passed supposedly to compensate blacks for past injustices of their ancestors in the US. It would've been more appropriate for Michelle to give a speech about what Selma means.

Why do people put up with his fantasies, and stand there and cheer?

[tcrlaf]

The White House was designed by an Irishman named Hoban, and built by IRISH and SCITTISH WORKMEN...

But hey, since when did Obama and the liberals ever let FACTS get in the way of a good rant??
