Obama: I’m Clearly Not Black, And Don’t You DARE Portray Me That Way
by sarabeth at 6:00 am on October 25th, 2007 in Obama Uber AllesWTF? What’s going on in Barack Obama’s head? Has he totally lost it or what?
He came out with the most bizarre statement at a campaign appearance in New Hampshire yesterday:
Another question came from a woman more concerned with Obama’s fate in the general election if he is nominated. She asked how he would he avoid being “Swift Boated,” referring to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads about John Kerry’s Vietnam War record that helped sink the Massachusetts senator’s presidential hopes in 2004.
Obama said he expects to face similar attacks if he becomes the nominee.
“I have no doubt there will be some of that — trying to make me into this foreign, odd, clearly black person and to scare people,” he said. “When people try to Swift Boat you, you have to respond forcefully, you have to respond immediately and you have to respond truthfully. … We are prepared for whatever they will throw at us.”
Trying to make him into a clearly black person is Swift-boating him?
I may as well be the first to Swift-boat Obama in that case: “HEY, OBAMA! YOU’RE ODD, AND YOU’RE CLEARLY BLACK! YOU ARE, YOU ARE, YOU ARE!”
Now let’s see what you got. Go ahead and respond forcefully, immediately and truthfully.
