Grandma Is Back
Barack has a new ad in Pennsylvania with his sister and grandmother featured.
Yeah, the very same grandma whom he labeled a troubling racist in defending Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Here's a transcript of his 10-second ad.
Yeah, the very same grandma whom he labeled a troubling racist in defending Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Here's a transcript of his 10-second ad.
Sister Maya: "People recognize themselves in Barack; and they feel understood by him. In part, that's because he listens so well."
Grandma: "Well, I think it's given him a lot of depth and a broadness of view."
Michelle: "Barack and I talk all the time about making sure that our girls can imagine any kind of world for themselves with no barriers."
Maya: "He wants to make sure that everybody's children have opportunities that his daughters have."
¡Ay Dios mio! Make what you will of it but...
The ad seems to offer a not-so subliminal plea for voters to support Obama because of sublimal code words for "race."
What to make of his grandma's oblique statement about Obama's unique "depth and a broadness of view."?
And what about Michelle's point that Obama's priority is to ensure their children "can imagine any kind of world for themselves with no barriers"?
Barriers because of gender?? Race??? What the hell are these people talking about...???
