If she wanted to reflect the fact that he was a father, how about "Your new senator, a great husband and father, Barack Obama!" I don't think this is a race thing, its a stereotype thing. Its something that is generally said by black mothers about the father of their child (who isn't her husband), and those women often aren't what black people want to portray on a national stage. There were a couple of black friends of mine there while we watched it happen, and they both cringed. If my white senator got up and said something like "well yall, shucks, its mighty fine to be representin yall up there in big ole Washington D.C." I'd cringe. Maybe literacy isn't your greatest skill, but you might wanna go back and read what I've said about Obama the last couple of pages. Oh wait, I probably only mention the good things because he's part white right? On a side note, you're a moron.

You can call me whatever names you want. Doesn't surprise me. I am going off of your history here in GC. I could care less about your rant. You haven't told me anything i don't already know. I cringed too when I heard her say that. All you did was repeat what I said. LOL.
I think you're the one with the literacy problem, bucko, since you totally failed to comprehend my post. That's a shame, especially since you're so prejudiced, which is what I said, against everyone else.
Oh and by the way, I won't stoop to your level and call you a name, but I will say that you obviously have your typical blinders on when it comes to what mothers say what. I hear many more white mothers calling their kids fathers their "baby's daddy's" nowadays than black. Furthermore, I can make a statement based on my personal opinion without being "blinded by color allegience". That was hilarious, especially coming from someone like you. You don't know me or anything about me so don't try to tell me about what you perceive to be a color allegience.
IF we HAD been talking about a white senator making such a statement, I would be willing to bet money that you would have been on the defending side rather than calling him stupid. It;s always easier to say you would say something in the hypothetical when you are making a sad (and losing) attempt to remove yourself from the category of prejudiced. You are what you are and you make WHO and WHAT you are clear everytime you click the submit button. Don't get mad at me for calling a spade a spade.
You make no sense whatsoever. I think most rap songs are stupid too, so how does that fit into your "color allegience" theory? You need to go sit in a corner and think about the things you say before you get yourself into even more of a theoretical and ideological blunder.
Bottom line is Mrs. Obama could have said what she said million different ways. She chose to say it the way that she did. YOUR perception of what she said is what is called into issue here. YOUR perception that is is stupid is very telling and there is no argument against that. You are not the first person to think the way that you do and since I have seen, heard and dealt with many people like yourself, I can recognize prejudicial personalities and statements pretty clearly. I am not in any way deficient or a "moron" simply because I make a note of the fact that someone, in the same way that many white americans do and have always done, takes a phenomenon associated with black americans and automatically cast a negative point of view with it, divorcing the act within the phenomenon from the causes or social implications of it or the variations of points of view on the act within the black community itself. You simply place your prejudicial notions on it and dismiss it. That is not right and if you don't like people opining on your prejudice, you can either change or ignore the opinions. I am sure you would rather ignore the opinions than change and that's fine with me.
I'm not going to go back and forth with you on this. I don't care anymore about you or what you think on the matter.
