"He was biracial. I was like, okay, what's that about?"

Imagine if the wife of a Republican candidate made a similar comment.

Seems odd that would be a new concept to her. I mean, it isn’t uncommon.

He was biracial. I was like, okay, what's that about?

heh..wait till he becomes POTUS and you'll find out exactly what that's about.

And then it's a funny name, Barack Obama. Who names their child Barack Obama?"

Uhhh...it's Barack Hussein Obama. That should help you Michelle with your first question.

What a bizarre statement. She makes it sound like it was a choice he made that she didn't approve of.

This statement is a dead give-away that she is pandering to the white crowd. Since when does a black woman suggest that another black person has a funny name? I mean is that not a black cultural thing to give children an unusual name? I mean, who ever heard of the name "Beyonce"?

A guy who answered “The European Union” to the question “What countries are our allies?” is brainy?

Naw, she was just incredulous he'd never heard of the 'one drop standard' of racial identity in the South....

Note that she did not say:

“He is in favor of post birth abortion of living children. I was like, okay, what’s that about?”

LOL! The Post explains away a racist statement from Obama with Hers is a lively riff, delivered with flair, and it draws smiles. Rush should have fun with this today.

I watched Oprah Winfrey's program yesterday about the logistics of moving her "Favorite Things" show from Chicago to Macon.

Oprah is a genius. About that there is no question.

The sheer organization--the ability to select such competent people in such huge numbers--the imagination--the energy--the ability to pull such a thing off in total secrecy--any one of these requires a certain genius.

I sat there thinking: If Oprah can accomplish all that she has accomplished in her life, she just might be able to put Barack Obama in the White House.

If she sets her mind to it, focuses her attention and brain power on it, and campaigns hard enough for him--I think she can do it.

I know very little about Obama, and what I know isn't impressive, but I know plenty about Oprah Winfrey, and, not only is she impressive, but she is not to be underestimated.

So I go, “No way!”

And she goes, “Fer sure!”

And I go, “Smack!”

Thank you for the interview Ms. First Lady (not!)

I find that to be really insulting. I do. His parents were black and white that is 'what that's about.' What is hard to understand about that? And I find the statement insulting because Mrs. Obama is given a 'pass' on noting and questioning Obama's heritage. What if Mrs. Obama were white and she questioned her husband's mixed heritage? No colorblind should be colorblind...
