Have to admit...they speak the truth.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

1. RACISTS ARE COMING OUT IN FORCE

[Dr Fate]

2. The "Liberal Media" must be confusing Obama with Mike Steele.

That boner is the one who wants to be the hip-hop caricature, not The President.

[Cant trust em]

3. When will white people figure out that imitating african-american urbanism doesn't work?

5. I wonder if Kyra will go back and look at this clip...

and slink away in embarrassment that she got a bit too caught up in the moment.

[Cant trust em]

6. I really hope so. My mom would look more natural using the term "swagga".

She should be using finger quotes every time she says that.

This looks like something that could have been an alternative to The Office. This would have been a perfect thing for Steve Carrell to be doing.

13. lol I ask that question EVERY SINGLE time I see white people say things

like "I love me some xxx" or "oh no he di'nt!" or one of the million billion things that white folks have co-opted from black folks upon which whatever saying or expression IMMEDIATELY becomes uncool and we have to come up with something else. :)

(See Psychmommy's post #9)

:rofl:

[Cant trust em]

16. I can make those things work as long as its served up with a thick dose of irony

and self-depricating humor. How anyone can take themselves seriously after talking like that is ridiculous.

[Bleacher Creature]

4. What the hell are they counting down to?

[monmouth]

7. As a white person I am more than embarassed. I don't know what

more I can say but among the other awful thing about this is the lack of respect. Granted, if POTUS saw it he may very well laugh, but I'm not. If they had done a similar thing to any other President they'd both be fired. Really ticks me off. Walter Cronkite just took another spin in his grave.

[StarTurtle]

15. Walter Cronkite isn't spinning in his grave, I promise.

Because he's still alive.

[monmouth]

17. Ooops, my bad. Well maybe he's spinning in his barcalounger...LOL. Thanks.

[Mari333]

8. airheads. nt

[psychmommy]

9. ok black folks we need a new word.

swagga went main stream. it is no longer cool to use swagga. hahahaha. my president does have a certain presence.

[Phoonzang]

10. I'm suprised she didn't ask to touch TJs hair... nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. "He goes to basketball games and out to nice dinners" !!?????

"He's hip"....

Un fucking believable....

[Number23]

12. How can I put this...

This was the most ridiculous embarrassing crap I have EVER seen. It's like watching "The Golden Girls" talk about hip hop.

I was both cringing and had my mouth open in disbelief the whole time I watched this. And that is hard to do!

[Enrique]

14. Bush and Clinton both swaggered

LBJ too probably. :shrug:

[avaistheone1]

18. Is that supposed to be CNN News?

Itlooks more like an entertainment show for teenagers hosted by two dingbats.
