Obama impersonator makes racial, gay jokes at GOP gathering

Full story: www.washingtonpost.com

NEW ORLEANS — A President Obama impersonator brought down the house Saturday at the Republican Leadership Conference, telling a string of racially themed jokes about the president. The impersonator, Reggie Brown, took the stage at the annual presidential cattle call to the Bruce Springsteen song “Born in the USA” — an allusion to the birther controversy. A sampling of what followed: • On Black History Month: “Michelle celebrates the full month. I celebrate half.” • “My mother loved a black man,” but “she was not a Kardashian.” • A picture was shown of Obama and the first lady when he took office. The impersonator then showed a picture of what the Obamas will look like when the president leaves office, and it was the characters of Fred Sanford and his sister-in-law, Ethel, from the show “Sanford and Son.” Race wasn’t the only subject where the impersonator pushed the envelope.

Laugh it up rednecks.
You won't be laughing when the very government/corporations you think are on your side turn against you because there's no one left to exploit. Dimwits all.

The GOP had no idea this guy would be offensive? For as much as the GOP totes crossing the t's & dotting the i's, they knew. The fact they hired an Obama impersonator is unsettling in itself. Are they that naive to think (lol) he'd just tell a few knock knock jokes?
I still don't know why anyone making less than $200 grand a year would vote for the party of Limbaugh, their policies only help the upper class. Just a bunch of rich, usually white, hypocrites who cannot get enough money or power. And they want to take America back? Back to what? I'm not sure what time period they're looking at, maybe Child Labor Laws need some fine tuning. Hate & Fear, the GOP needs yours!

Why is it perfectly alright for (ALL) to do such
things to the republican and do NOT think it alright
when they retaliate to yours? Double standard?
Or just plain stupid? If you can't take it, stop
dishing it out? Simple enough for you. Should
be??????

This "impersonator" should be lynched by a mob of African-Americans and drowned in white paint. Let the punishment fit the crime!

Are you equating 9 11 jokes when Islamic terrorists attacked and killed Americans to political jokes ? The only one that jokes about 9 11 are either Islamic terrorists or their supporters. You are one sick malajusted lover of the obscene.

Black jokes can be funny, as well are red neck jokes, as well as jewish jokes, as well as political jokes, as well as polish jokes, as well as mexican jokes, language jokes, etc, etc, but not jokes about innocent people dying from a terrorist attack.

So you take jokes about Obama personally and do not find them funny but you laugh at Americans that died from a Islamic terrorist attack ?

PS you never said white jokes can be funny did you!,
you broke it down to groups that you probably don't consider yourself to be a part of!!!

The repulicants are a joke - and it is not surprising that they would find it funny to disrespect our president by hiring an Obama impersonator.

We should not be surprised.

This is what Obama's Appointment thinks http://www.youtube.com/watch...
He will fit right in with the other kooks in obama's cabinet.Obama's men wouldn't believe such socialistic nonsense. It's absurd to think government ran medicine could lead to such regulations and a government audit of every aspect of one's personal life.

This is as absurd as selling guns to the Mexican cartel and claiming the problem is illegal sales by gun stores.

These things just don't happen.

The last time I looked a 'red neck' was white or did you miss that part ?
So tell me a 9 11 joke that hits your funny bone ? Just to be sure you are not talking about a 9 11 call to the police ? You are talking about the date of 9 11 when the twin towers was attacked by Islamic terrorists. So lets hear your side splitting joke about 9 11.

In other words, you hate the Republican Leadership Conference for pulling the comic as they chose to, right?

This comic broke the Republicans' and Tea Baggers' cardinal rule: Kepp your bigotries at least thinly veiled.

Yes, these things happen when an incompetent hires like minded incompetents to oversee his ill conceived programs. These incompetents are recommended by other bureaucratic incompetents and interviewed by additional upper echelon incompetents to insure that they are hiring the same mind set incompetents. End result, FUBAR !

Are you stupid? like I said you broke it down to white groups IE 'red neck' jokes instead of 'all white people are....' jokes, which implies you don't see yourself as a red neck so you laugh at red necks, now do you understand!!
As for 9 11 YES in talking about Sept 11 OK!!!!!
I would tell you a joke about it but that would upset you. Laughing at the footage of the event is even funnier than an actual joke about the day.
Now go and stab some sh*t you faggot sh*t stabber!*now piss off *

Naw, they can do what they want to do. I don't hate anyone for excercising their right to free speech. I don't think the guy was yelling 'Fire' in a subway so no harm no foul.
If a person cannot laugh at themselves, they are the ones with the problem.

You're in a very sociable mood and you're also feeling very easy-going, prepared to take people at face value and to turn a blind eye to their faults and foibles. And you hope they'll do the same for you.
