There is nothing that his manchild has done since he finished law school (as someone pointed out) that did not somehow advance his notion he deserved to be the first "black" president of these United. Calculation and exquiste timing seem to be Barry's strong suit. His delivery in the Raleigh video was calculated to pander to the black/white cultural divide. "Ain't we cool; the 'others' jus don't get it...we bad; we do what we want cuz no body stops us." No, in this climate of political correctness and lack of civility, try to stop him. He will scream racist! and run over you. Hellavaway to elect the leader of our nation and free world. Surely you jest, Anna Shane.

Has anyone taken the time to consider what the song means in CONTEXT? Probably not, because then you'd all know that you are stupid for coming to the conclusions that I see here. The song's intent is to push the notion that a person should ignore detractors, especially those that have frivilous intentions, or meaningless issues to take up with you. Brush them away, don't address them. It has nothing to do for Obama about being a pimp, or stabbing women (also out of context, even for Jay-Z's intent). Now maybe Obama is using this to duck questions, or to passively sling mud back by saying "Look, I'm taking the 'high road' by brusing this off.

What did you think of Mr. Obama's answer about giving white's preference in getting into college over blacks. He is against affirmative action. Personally, I find that funny, since both Clinton's fought hard for equal rights for blacks, but, I guess the color of one's skin does make a wise and experienced candidate. Was that just a teaser? And I guess the muslims gonna be happy cause he's calling for them to have seperate lunchrooms at work, wear their burkas and morning prayer call. Equal opportunity, except I really don't hear him calling for anything to benefit the black people. I guess the same old shit just under a different color. I’ll engage with you over the issues.

I'm with statbabe on this one. The other angle shows that it wasn't just the middle finger, and besides there was only one speech made. There is no point acting like the deranged Obama cult on Daily Kos or Huffington Post. However, it is also clear that many in the audience did think that he was insulting Hillary with a derogatory gesture, which says a lot about the people he attracts. In addition, and a lot more telling in my opinion, were the rest of the gestures that he made during the speech. The bump and grind a la Reverend Wright and the brushing off his shoulders emulation of a misogynist gangster rap song were despicable and unseemly. It clearly indicated that he is a lightweight, thin-skinned, not-ready-for-prime-time candidate, in the same mold as the current uncouth President who is an embarrassment every time he is abroad with his frat-boy antics.
