Obama's definition of a "TYPICAL" white person
http://www.redlasso.com/ClipPlayer.a...c-690d61794d50
610 WIP is my local sports station. I listne to it every morning on my drive into work. My wife and I were listening to the interview on Cataldi's show. We both looked at each other in amazement when he used the phrase "TYPICAL WHITE PERSON".
Wow...“I never learned from a man who agreed with me.”

Re: Obama's definition of a "TYPICAL" white person
I wonder how much his shovel's gonna fetch on ebay.
"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

And the media will continue to make excuses.
If a white person had said, "typical black person", you can bet the fur would be flying.
How hypocritical.

What was the whole quote? Is this all he said? (The player stopped at the 1:00 and then the 2:00 mark for me).

Here's a working video.

Re: Obama's definition of a "TYPICAL" white person
So is this supposed to be proof of Obama as a racist? It is sad when someone speaks honestly to adults and they pitch a hissy fit like a child in K-Mart. But of course, OMG OBAMA IS TEH RACISS LOLZ!
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Most of the white people of our generation and older used the N-word often. I don't think he's too far off.
