Obama on Imus

From the New York Times: “He didn’t just cross the line. He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.”

Hmmmm? his two young daughters, eh? And the other millions of young, black americans get no mention? Interesting. I suppose the others have no representation because they don't stand a chance to be in the White House...

Anyway Barack has, what, $26 million in fundraising to make him and his family feel a little more secure, right?

Here's a great quote on this issue for you:

"It's a completely different scenario. (Rappers) are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about hoes that's in the 'hood that ain't doing shit, that's trying to get a nigga for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them muthafuckas say we are in the same league as him. Kick him off the air forever."

I am surprised Obama didn't say something stronger than what he said, to be honest with you. I guess he's just playing it safe.
