‘Racist police’ claim mars Obama holiday in Spain

As Michelle Obama takes her daughter Sasha to Marbella for a mini-break, the US State Department has been forced to disown travel advice it issued warning that African-American tourists could be targeted by racist Spanish policemen . . .

The advice page said two African-American US government employees have "recently" been "questioned by police in Barcelona for no apparent reason". One was detained, the page said, and "suffered physical injuries in the process".

However, the page now carries no such warning – the offending paragraph has presumably been removed by an embarrassed State Department after press reports drew it to their attention. The original version of the page can still be seen here, thanks to Google's cache, while the newly-revised version is here . . .

Contacted by Spanish daily El Pais, the US embassy in Madrid played down the advice. It said the Barcelona incident had "happened a long time ago" (though the advice page said "recently") . . .

"We are in no way suggesting that Spanish police are racist," an embassy spokesperson added. "This was an isolated incident." . . .

Thanks Brugmansian. If only it were true.

• Mexican Youth Is Attacked on Staten Island (NY Times, "assailants, mostly young black men")
• Mexicana Airlines files for bankruptcy (suspends flights at U.S. airports, blames labor costs)

Michelle,(Secret Service Codename: “The Linebacker”) always the soul of tact, is leaving the back door open for Larry Sinclair. Although she did leave her Mother behind to keep an eye on Urkel.

Mystery solved! Michelle the Beard goes out of town on obummer’s birthday. Now we hear that obummer is going to Chicago to help Giannouleous win an election against RINO Mark Kirk. That's what obummer is telling us.

And....obummer will get to “see” gay old friends at his former hangout, a club called “Man's Country” located in a section of Chicago known as “Boys Town.” for obvious reasons. Google Man's Country to see the obummer/rahm connection with this club. Hey, Larry Sinclair and others, are you going to help obummer celebrate?

You betcha.
