(From Huffpost): Rush, predictably, spent yesterday playing clips of Obama's interview on 60 Minutes and claimed that Obama didn't really want to be black and he should just give it up and declare himself white. Obama was asked by Croft about his bi-racial identity, and Obama said, naturally, that as a child when you look African-American, society views you that way and accordingly you begin to identify yourself as African-American.
Rush interpreted that to mean that Obama didn't really want to be African-American. In the old days, idiots like him were never given a microphone, yet Rush is now spokesperson for the GOP.
Someone ought to tell Rush is that a bi-racial person who has dark skin has no chance of being identified as white in this society, because dumb fat f***s like Rush, who unfortunately represent a sizable share of the US population (both in numbers and in weight) label and identify people first by skin color. Therefore, Obama never had a choice in the matter.
These GOP nut jobs have been picking on Obama's racial and ethnic background and I am frankly sick of it. I hope the Obama camp kicks this Oxycontin junkie in the balls with a smackdown by the end of today or this week.
