Obama muffs black sitcom reference
Obama muffs black sitcom reference
Quote:
This is what happens when a candidates goes off script.
Barack Obama, in Raleigh, N.C., was doing a riff attacking John McCain for supporting the idea of putting some mandatory retirement money into the stock market.
"If Senator McCain is elected, we'll have another president who wants to privatize part of your Social Security. Could you imagine if you had your Social Security invested in the stock market these last two weeks, these last two months? You wouldn't need Social Security. You'd be having a -- like, what was it, Sanford and Son. `I'm coming Weezie!"
Memo to Sen. Obama:
Weezie was on The Jeffersons. Louise "Weezie" Jefferson -- played by Isabel Sanford.
And it was Redd Foxx's Fred G. Sanford who used to feign heart attacks to guilt trip his son, Lamont:
"Oh, this is the big one! You hear that, Elizabeth?! I'm coming to join you, honey!"
Funny how the mind works.
Or, to put it another way: "Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis?"

Pretty funny and lighthearted, but I can imagine McCain or Palin doing this...
Cries of racism and "out of touch" would be page 1...
