I was Black before the election
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/09/21/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5327972.shtml



Addressing suggestions that recent criticism of his health care reform efforts has been grounded in racism, President Obama this afternoon quipped, "I think it's important to realize that I was actually black before the election."

The comment, which the president made in an afternoon taping of CBS' "The Late Show," promoted laughter from the audience and this response from host David Letterman: "How long have you been a black man?"

yes this is our President...


and I LOVE HIM!!!!

This is the same thing as saying, "I don't mind because you don't matter." to the racist wing nuts.

They are a small shrinking distinct minority and no they may not "have their country back." We're moving on and forward :)

Yes, I am also sure the most wealthy will continue to attempt to divide poor and middle class folks along racial lines like usual.
