Michelle Obama is "Obama's baby mama?"

[AZBlue]

This is the latest from Fox News.

Fox News Channel referred to Michelle Obama as “Obama’s baby mama” in a graphic on Wednesday, the latest in a trio of references to the Democratic presidential campaign that have given fuel to network critics.

The graphic “Outraged liberals: Stop picking on Obama’s baby mama” was flashed during an interview with conservative columnist Michelle Malkin about whether Barack Obama’s wife has been the target of unfair criticism.

They've lied every day they've been on the air. Their anchors have fueled false rumors and said the most egrigous things on-air. But they've really gone so much lower than any level they reached before now. They are now practicing full-blown racism and this needs to be addressed. First Liz Trotta joked around about Obama being assinated and then E.D. Hill said that the dap between Michelle and Barack (as pictured in my sig line) is a terrorist's gesture. And now "baby mama"?!

1. If you can't beat Obama on the issues

then make up crap. That's all they have. Expect more of it. Much more.

[Scoobs]

2. That baby mama incident is extremely harsh

They're only excuse for that is pointing out to when Michelle herself said Obama was her baby daddy. It's one thing to say it yourself but it's a COMPLETELY different thing when you have old white newscasters saying it ABOUT you.

3. I'm not satisfied til that FoxNews welfare queen is fired.

4. Michelle Obama herself introduced her husband as her "baby's daddy"

several years ago when he gave a speech in the midwest. Maybe some rather careless folks at FAUX thought that usage of hers opened the door to their usage of a similar idiom.

[PretzelWarrior]

5. when did she do that, Elspeth?

are you saying foxnews is so stupid they can't research that such a phrase means single mother popping out babies outside of marriage?

Did you know Obamas are much more of a true American stable family than the McCains?

time's running out. get your digs in while you can.

7. Here ya go

BLITZER: Was he the first president of the Harvard Law Review?

WATSON: First African American president of the Harvard Law Review.

BLITZER: That's what I meant.

KING: He's made it. I think he's coming.

WATSON: He's coming up.

BLITZER: We can take a look. Maybe he will and maybe he won't but she looks like she's about to introduce him. Let's listen in.

MICHELLE OBAMA, WIFE OF BARACK OBAMA: My baby's daddy Barack Obama. Yeah!

BARACK OBAMA, SENATOR-ELECT, ILLINOIS: Thank you, Illinois. Thank you. Thank you, Illinois. I don't know about you but I'm still fired up. I am fired up. Look at this crowd. Thank you, Illinois.

Let me begin by thanking all the people who have been involved in this effort from down state to upstate, city, suburb, from every community throughout the state. Let me say how grateful I am to all of you for the extraordinary privilege of standing here this evening.

6. "Baby's Daddy" is correct

"Baby Daddy" is slang. There is a huge difference and I can't believe someone as clever as you cannot see that.

[Elspeth]

8. Is there a difference in meaning between the form that uses the apostrophe and that that doesn't?

...

[blogslut]

9. Yes

Stop pretending you don't know this.

[Elspeth]

11. I don't know this.

Seriously. These are usages that are new to me.

[blogslut]

14. Auntie Em rule

is now in effect

[Elspeth]

16. What does that mean?

?

[blogslut]

17. Think about it

Surely you've seen the Wizard of Oz.

[Elspeth]

18. Not in a very long time.

So, again, what does your comment mean in the current circumstances?

[AlCzervik]

25. are you posting at cu now? Someone sent me something, same name as you.

i asked in another thread but i doubt you'll see it.

[PretzelWarrior]

10. what's the difference between "my baby's killer" and "my baby killer"

maybe an apostrophe and "S" DOES make a difference.

[Elspeth]

13. I don't know what the difference is in your examples.

In both cases, you seem to have a dead baby.

24. I'm glad you are spending so much energy on such inane topic

it keeps you pinned down and not wasting our lives on other lines of attack on the Obamas.

Thanks for that beautiful and meandering write up that for your information I only skimmed over.

[Elspeth]

27. Sour grapes, eh?

:)

[unapatriciated]

12. baby daddy and baby's daddy are two different usages

and fox is very aware of the difference. They are betting that the average white is not. I think they might lose that bet. I'm a white female over 50 and I know the difference.

[Elspeth]

15. I don't know the difference, so perhaps you can enlighten me.

I never heard the first term until just this year, and I assumed it meant the same as the second.

[unapatriciated]

20. Sorry but that is hard to believe

Your profile states you are from Cali, slang for California. Do you live in Orange County? Do you not have children or grandchildren under 25? Have you never listened to hip-hop or rap? I'm not buying you never heard the slang terms baby daddy, baby momma or baby momma drama. Just google it.

[Elspeth]

21. I have no children, do not listen to rap and rarely watch television

That may explain the disconnect. I am also not a huge fan of popular culture.

[LiberalAndProud]

26. This might help.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6349015&mesg_id=6350387

It explains the term 'baby mama' quite succinctly.

28. Pretending to be innocently stupid as fox.

At some point it doesn't matter whether it is pretending or not, it's just tedious. Everyone knows who they are. Who are you?

[and-justice-for-all]

22. So I can call The Baroness McBush's crack whore? nt
