RUSH: Yesterday we made mention of the fact that Barack Obama was running around talking about the fact that one time, that time long ago, he was insulted that somebody thought he was a valet. Not when he was president. Over seven years ago, somebody thought he was a valet, and that meant the United States was racist.
That meant that he had a legitimate chip on his shoulder, and his wife was running around saying (summarized), "Yeah, I went into Target, and I was first lady. Now, I was in disguise, but I went into Target and somebody asked me to get something off the top shelf," and that was supposed to be racist because that meant that the person at Target thought that she was an employee, a grunt employee, and for only one reason: That she was black.
So that was used to tell us that our country is still racist when even the first lady and the president are insulted with racist comments. "Don't tell us that Barack's election means anything," was the point of that. So let me ask a question: If I call Michael Jordan and say, "Hey, man, can you show me how make a jump shot," am I racist? Is that racist, if I call M.J. and say I need some help with my jump shot? (interruption) It's not? It's not insulting him because he's black?
Well, I could just as easily call Kiki Vandeweghe and ask him, but no, I'm calling M.J. Is that not racist, if I want M.J. to show me how to make a jump shot? Well, then how come Obama gets away with saying it's racist when somebody thinks he's a valet? Anyway there's a little news here on the Mrs. Obama aspect of this, and it comes from our buddies at TruthRevolt.com.
"On Wednesday, People magazine released an interview with President Obama and Michelle Obama, in which the two discussed their harrowing experiences with racism. Among those experiences was a shocking incident during Michelle Obama’s undercover trip to a Target: 'I tell this story -- I mean, even as the first lady -- during that 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.
"'Because she didn't see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn't anything new.'" From that we're supposed to believe that America is so rotten discriminatory that asking a black woman in Target to help get you something off the shelf is racist, because it means that every American thinks that every black is nothing more than an average, minimum wage store clerk.

Okay, that's what Michelle Obama meant.
But do you know she told this same story two years ago in an entirely different way, on Letterman? Same story, same event. Here's how she described it on Letterman: "I thought I was undercover. I have to tell you something about this trip though. No one knew that was me because a woman actually walked up to me, right? I was in the detergent aisle, and she said -- I kid you not -- she said, 'Excuse me, I just have to ask you something,' and I thought, 'Oh, cover's blown.'
"She said, 'Can you reach on that shelf and hand me the detergent?' I kid you not ... And the only thing she said -- I reached up, 'cause she was short, and I reached up, pulled it down -- she said, 'Well, you didn't have to make it look so easy.' That was my interaction. I felt so good. ... She had no idea who I was. I thought, as soon as she walked up -- I was with my assistant, and I said, 'This is it, it’s over. We're going to have to leave.' She just needed the detergent."
So two years ago it was a charming and funny event where a woman needed the assistance of a tall person to reach something from a high shelf. But today, the same story's racism. This is another example of how it's done. This spreading of guilt, making things up, structuring them as you go to achieve the desired result that you want. It's just... I think it's obviously beneath these people to engage in this kind of thing.
But it illustrates for us who they are and what they're really intending to do and what their base manner of thinking is. I mean, to tell this story in a different way recently to People magazine, "Is the country still racist?" How does that advance anything? How does that help a thing, particularly when that was not her original interpretation of the event?
Yup, you just proved your racist.
If you ask a black person for help, you're a racist.
If you don't ask a black person for help, you're a racist.
If you greet a black person, you're a racist.
If you don't greet a black person, you're a racist.
I’m 5’10” and people ask me to reach for stuff all the time. I doubt they’re asking me to do so because I’m blonde.
Amen, that was so tacky for a First Lady, and showed a lack of discernment. Even Mooch knew the woman was too short to get the item, and said so. How on God’s green earth could she turn that into racism. Twisted logic.
I don’t know why exactly, but I probably have someone think I work at a store at least once every couple of months.
This is sure a racist nation.
Oh yeah, and I’m White.
Can’t even go out of the house any longer without running them damned racists.
“Yeah, I went into Target, and I was first lady. Now, I was in disguise”
So the wookie look is the First Lady, and the disguise is the normal woman? With all that body hair it must take her hours to get into the costume.
Uh huh...I always assume some broad beamed barge rat in tacky shorts, open shirt over a tank top, shades, and a pulled down ball cap and looking shiftless and angry is a store employee, especially in joints where the workers all wear red shirts.
Well, either that or a shop lifter. She sure has a full size trunk. Get a couple of hams, a tricycle, and a Durrian in one of those things.
How to spot a clerk in target: Look for a woman WITHOUT a purse...
Mrs. Obama was probably NOT carrying a purse... that’s for the Secret Service. Also, the person might have confused her for someone who was ‘nice’ and wouldn’t mind helping...
I’ve never met anyone who would ask a black person for help unless they were sure the person was employed... even then most people of other races would look for someone NOT black... blacks tend to be violent and thin-skinned.
Why risk a problem?
Michael, you're in disguise every day.
He's such a charming, delightful person...
LOL!!
No one knew that was me because a woman actually walked up to me, right? Riiight
I'm 6' 6" and I get asked that all the time at stores from black, white, Asian, and latina ladies.
It's just because I'm tall!
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
I’m tall so I ask short people all the time to get me something off the bottom shelf.
she’s the most photographed person on the planet and she leads an entourage of vehicles that rivals the most self centered performers and is surrounded by armed men and women with headgear and someone walked up to her as if she worked at Target and told her to get something from the shelf. I smell something that reminds me of fertilizer.
Here’s what I took away from this and I actually watched the replay of the Letterman exchange this morning and so was paying particular attention to the body language of Moochelle. The very fact that she didn’t identify the woman as anything other than ‘short’ and she had this look on her face that said she knew she was giving information that was slyly misleading told me all that I needed to know. I’m willing to bet a grand that the woman who asked her to reach to the higher shelf was NOT white.
I want to see a reporter ask Moochelle this question directly.
It wasn't really a raciss thing. Maybe somebody was just trying to pick up a trannie...?
I’ll match that grand...
Yes you should...”Big Ass Honkie”!!!
I am disgusted with Moochelle’s attitude.
He was a football player afterall. Wonder what ever happened to Michael Vaughn Robinson...OH
Thanks for your service Chief.
