Obama joking self-effacingly about how terrible it was finding out Cheney was his cousin. |

2. Yep, because ribbing on white people is still considered acceptable |
|
While the reverse would be deplored.
You stay classy, Obama.

12. "White people" - he is talking about friggin Dick Cheney! How that hell |
|
do you turn that into a dig about race. That is truly pathetic.
Who the hell wants to be related to Dick Cheney?
You know, there are valid criticisms and dislikes, and then they is crap like this that just shows you've lost a bit of perspective on reality.

19. Or Obama showing his? |
|
Just a simple observation on his "Hey, isn't a kicker that I'm related to this guy?" riff. The contrast is being made on race just as much as it is on ideology. Unbunch your panties.
Funny to see the quick and coordinated replies from the resident Obamaniacs though, probably be another half-dozen by the time I finish this. Bit desperate to be pouncing so quick tonight, eh? :rofl:

21. Considering that Obama's mother is white |
|
I surely doubt that joking about being disappointed that he's related to Cheney was "ribbing on white people" - he clearly doesn't have a problem being related to white people, just being related to Cheney.
Jeez.

8. I've heard that joke about 20 times |
|
and I still laugh. He is terrific. I think the people who don't like them are those people who have a stick up their ass and want to lock up kids who toilet paper houses on Halloween.

I like how he said Caroline is everything you would hope she would be. Very cool.
Oooh, Teresa!!
I also liked when he went to shake Teddy's hand during the "scary Republican" bit and Teddy did the little quivering thing, too funny.
This was historic. I am really hopeful.

He won't shake her hand afterwards, she says she'll have to think about supporting him...

24. I loved the bit about Republican support |
|
"Early on they'd say (whispering)I'm a Republican and I support you(/whispering)."
"And I'd say (whispering)thanks(/whispering)."
That was hilarious.
