    Obamas on Race: We've Been Treated Like the Help

    ABC(NEW YORK) — President and Michelle Obama personally identify with everyday experiences of racial bias in America that have underpinned recent protests across the country, they told People magazine in an interview to be released Friday.

    “Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs,” Michelle Obama told the magazine.

    On one occasion, she said, her husband “was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner, and somebody asked him to get coffee.”

    President Obama said he’s even been mistakenly treated as a valet.

    “There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys,” he said, according to excerpts of the interview released Wednesday.

    First off I find this funny. Anyone ever thought about handing some black guy in a tux their car keys? Or ask him to get them coffee? Secondly, I think the 0bamas are viewed and treated the way they are because of all the treason and corruption inherent to their regime, not because of the color of light that reflects off their skin or any other reason(s).

    It's almost like you are saying they are being treated for the content of their character, not the colour of their skin?
    I wonder if this is what MLK envisioned?

    You know, MLK was brilliant.

    wasn't that bill Clinton that asked for the coffee?
    pure pandering.


    A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee," the former president told the liberal lion from Massachusetts, according to the gossipy new campaign book, "Game Change."

    Moochelle said that as if Insane Hussein was the only black man in Chicago at the time. Cry me a river, spoiled-rotten brats.

    I have NEVER in my life eaten at a restaurant that even had valet parking.

    He is completely out of touch with working and middle class Americans of all colors, especially African Americans, if his example of racist victimization relies on him being in an upscale setting while wearing upscale clothing commonly associated with upscale service employees.

    I'm not handing a black dude my keys... he'll probably steal the car.

    Live in a shit hole like Shitcago get treated like shit. I know black men that work in the oilfield and they are treated no differently than anyone else. They work just as hard as everyone else. Obama and his vile wife used the system to get where they are and had to play a role as poor under privileged black folk. Well play the role......get treated like the character. Fuck you Obama.

    I can't begin to guess- over the years I've been approached in various settings and asked 'do you work here?'-- I don't know how many times. And to realize now, I was being deeply debased and insulted! Damn, that must be why he's the resident- coz I surely ain't smart enough to realize when I'm being insulted like that. An shit.

    Nobama and the Wookie are doing their best to sound like they were discriminated against based on their color. That holds about as much water as Hitlery claiming she is poor and destitute.

    Thinking about it, Mr 0bama is the employee of we the people, at least figuratively. So he actually is help. Well, according to his actions he's help for our enemies, foreign and domestic much more so than he is to we the people.

    For some strange reason, whenever I'm in an electronics store, someone will walk up to me and ask me a question as if I were an employee.

    Since I know electronics, I tell them "I'm not an employee here, but I might be able to answer your question - what do you want to know?".

    Around that time a real employee walks up and listens intently (usually because HE'S learning something he didn't know!)

    Lots of times the customer thanks me for the information and gives the employee the look of "thanks for the non-help bozo - I FINALLY got my answer".

    So is the rest of the government - you know - the ones who serve WE, THE PEOPLE? The same ones who try to tell US what we can and cannot do.

    And if that isn't bad enough, THEY routinely violate their own laws - something which would land US in prison is a "who cares?" thing to THEM.

    Nah, he'll write an executive order mandating a yearly 7-figure tax payer-funded retirement income for himself.
