Does Obama sit around the White House doing nothing but collect a paycheck?

Well you'd think so for what I hear around here on the street. I was shocked when someone said that to me, while I was out running errands, that a certain President did that. I said which one, the one who rode a bicycle all the time? And this person said no the one there now. It took me going home to realize what she really was saying. She was calling him the lazy N word. I have not heard this stereotyping in half a century until today. She's too young to be of the generation who thought that way before the civil rights movement.

So I'm thinking it's our right wing media friends, Rush/Bill/Sean and all the lizard people over at Fox News who are spreading this and anyone else trying to bring this President down who is behind this. Now I know they aren't saying it in print or over the air, but they are doing it somewhere, town hall meetings, book signings and other social and political clubs that cater to those of that mentality.

This is the last propaganda straw as far as I'm concerned. We have to take back our media somehow and get the truth out. Most of our radio stations and our mainstream TV stations and print media have been taken over by the right wing propagandists. We have to make them honest. I say it's time for Occupy the Media. It's something we can all do from our computers.

I would have shut her ass down on the spot. What wasn't clear instantly about what she said?

until today I liked. I really don't blame her as I do the big brother brainwashing she's obviously been subjected to.

for repeating right wing, racist talking points.

Somebody needs to call her on her non-critical, non-thinking repetition of foolish racial hatred.

I would like to find out what the source of her mindset is first. She may not even realize she's being told racist crap.
