Is the Michelle Obama Tape a Matter of Enunciation?
National review ^ | 6/2/08 | Jim Gerahgty

Posted on 06/02/2008 7:51:32 AM PDT by pissant

A really interesting theory about the alleged Michelle Obama tape, which could explain a lot, from the liberal blog Booman Tribune. Michelle, offering a speech critical of President Bush, offers a refrain of "why'd he" — the words "why did he" mushed together — that sounds like "whitey" on the tape.

Apparently, if the tape ever comes to light, her words will sound something like:

Whitey cut folks off Medicaid?

Whitey let New Orleans drown?

Whitey do nothing about Jena?

Whitey put us in Iraq for no reason?

...when the intended message is,

Why'd he cut folks off Medicaid?

Why'd he let New Orleans drown?

Why'd he do nothing about Jena?

Why'd he put us in Iraq for no reason?

Or so we will be told. The irony is, if the latter interpretation is accurate, we still have a potential first lady accusing her husband's predecessor of "letting" New Orleans drown.

UPDATE: Contemplating the rumor below, I wondered when and how Michelle Obama and Louis Farrkhan would appear on a panel together. Farrakhan doesn't seem like the type to voluntarily share the stage. But then I noted that in late 2007, Trinity United gave Farrakhan its lifetime achievement award with a full ceremony — the video shown that evening is still on YouTube, with the feminine announcer declaring, "For his commitment to truth, education and leadership, we honor Minister Louis Farrakhan with the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. lifetime achievement award." (Before you ask, the announcer is not Michelle Obama.) Is it possible the two are at the head table for a banquet? Is this the circumstance of Michelle Obama's remarks?

Good point. There are probably many copies of the tape(if it exists).

It will be interesting to find out which liberal media outlets have been sitting on it for months in an effort to protect Obama!

Dosn’t the Surpreme court term end in June? Remember the huge 2nd amendment case..any day now?

Good day to release the tape for the MSM

Over on KOS, they are noting the sudden lack of campaign stops on Obama’s schedule.

Is he trying to stay low for a while?

If so, he's likely trying to limit his exposure to the press after the news of his leaving Trinity Church came out.

Yes, I thought probably she was saying “Why Dey”. That’s what a Harvard education will do for you, eh?

Darn..that was a fun thread yesterday.

Looks like we are in for a funny, punny thread.

His wife Michelle will prove to be a bigger problem for Obama than his former minister. Wait and see -

Have you noticed that Father Pfeger could EASILY pass for Algore’s brother? Looks very much like him. It made me shudder.

Princeton University apparently no longer has any requirements for public speaking. Or for admission or graduation. Of course that's whitey's fault, too.

It's called affirmative action, and it is whitey's fault.

One would think that a Harvard educated black woman, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, would have elevated herself from ebonics by now...especially when she aspires to be the first lady.

Apparently, the Obama people have it or they wouldn’t have had their talking points ready to swarm the leftist blogs this morning.

(Real lyrics: “Kyrie elason down this road that I must travel.”)

I seriously thought they were singing this.

Where is the damn tape?

Democrat Headquarters along with the Clinton's "burning the flag" photo. We need to send G. Gordon Liddy on a retrieval mission.

MICHELLE OBAMA: There's a lot of people talking about elitism and all of that. But let me tell you who me and Barack are, so that you are not confused. Yeah, I went to Princeton and Harvard, but the lens through which I see the world is the lens that I grew up with. I am the product of a working-class upbringing. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago in a working-class community. I want people to know when they look at me, to be clear that they see what an investment in public education can look like.

Will MSM Ignore Michelle Obama's Anger?

Let me [color=red]aks[/color] you a question. Isn’t Michelle sitting with Farrakhan damning enough in itself?
