>> Their racism becomes more overt with each passing day....... Sensenbrenner seems to miss the point, which is that it is a common physical trait amongst African women. If there is to be any complaint, it should be that he shouldn't have commented on a physical trait Ms. Obama has no control over. There is nothing new about this. In some places, African women have, for centuries, carried their babies on their substantial asses. Its common knowledge that different ethnicities have different physicalities.............Caribbeans and Africans tend to have bigger booties; M. Easterners have bigger noses and tend to be darker skinned; Scandanavians tend to be fairer, Asian eyes have the epicanthal fold, etc. This is not new news. So, it is now racist to point out that some women have physical characteristics that derive from their African genetic heritage? Yes, it is. He is suggesting that a normal physical trait for her ethnicity is actually a sign of obesity and she should not be talking about health and food. He is further suggesting that a small booty is the norm and the only one that determines health and thinness. In his feeble and little mind, the small booty is the gold standard. That is racism. Until you all get that concept, we will be having these conversations well into the future.

Gingrich Plummets in Polls as Voters Start Remembering Who He Is Dawning Awareness Threatens Campaign DES MOINES ( The Borowitz Report) – In a development that has imperiled his front-runner status in the Republican presidential race, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has plunged in the polls as voters have begun to remember who he is. Mr. Gingrich had been surging in recent weeks, but according to pollster Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research institute, “That was before people's memories of who New Gingrich is started gradually kicking in.” According to a new poll released today, Mr. Gingrich fared especially poorly among voters who agreed with the statement, “Wait a minute, that guy? He was an enormous dick.” “Newt Gingrich has got to do something fast to keep people from remembering who he is,” pollster Logsdon said. “He might try growing a moustache or wearing an eye patch, but that might be too little, too late.” On the ground in Iowa, Gingrich campaign strategists are working overtime to confront the challenge posed by voters remembering who he is, aides to the former House Speaker said today. According to one campaign source, the Gingrich campaign has begun seeking the support of people with mental disorders and other memory issues that make it hard for them to retain basic information. “The problem is, most of those people are currently running for President,” the source said.

'No Experience' Obama Is Too Fast a Learner for Mitt Romney By Elspeth Reeve \| The Atlantic Wire – Tue, Dec 20, 2011 Mitt Romney said voters ought to kick President Obama out of the White House because he's got too much experience in Washington now -- but way way back in the ancient history of four years ago, Romney was warning Americans of the dangers of not electing a lifelong politician. It's a fascinating turn of events for anyone who remembers the 2008 campaign and the GOP drumbeat of "no experience," "isn't ready," and "just because he talks well" attacks on then-Sen. Barack Obama. But it apparently has taken less than three years in office for Obama to become a full-fledged creature of Washington because there Romney was on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Tuesday morning, announing, "the only way we're gonna get President Obama out of the White House -- because it'shard to replace an incumbent -- is if we have someone run against him who is different than a lifelong politician." Romney added, "We got one in the White House right now."
