Our White House Homey
President Obama has been under fire recently by the African-American media complaining that he is not doing enough for one of his strongest constituencies. In response, the President was quoted as saying that he, “can’t pass laws that say I’m just helping black folks….”
Realizing that might sound condescending to some ”black folks” who don’t really consider him black, he tried establishing bonds by admitting that , “while I didn’t hang with many black folks growing up, my mammy and I read Uncle Tom’s Cabin most every night when I was just a little picaninny.”
He has also directed the White House chef to make sure that fried chicken and chitlins be served at least once a week ; has declared March 20th, James Brown Day; and announced that he has invited Sam and Dave to the White House to see if they couldn’t sort out their differences over a couple of beers.
