How bad was Barack Obamas good, solid B-plus? Even the women of The View give Obama a good, solid F for his answer. However, in this clip, the bigger laugh is seeing Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters rip Oprah for her interviewing skills:
Maybe Oprah should have asked what kind of tree Obama thinks himself to be.
Obama made the amateurish mistake of letting down his guard while fielding a question from a sympathetic interviewer. There was nothing wrong with the question, and Oprah seemed a little surprised that Obama took the bait. It gave him an opportunity to demonstrate a little humility and remind everyone that American voters give him his grades. Instead, Obama showed the kind of judgment that led him to answer Lynn Sweets question about the arrest of Henry Gates, in order to extol himself as a big success while America suffers double-digit unemployment. And thats a big fail on anyones curve.
Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at obamaisms@edmorrissey.com with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. Ill post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and Ill give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.
BaBa really went off on the blonde chick for being critical of Bubba Barry. Normally it's her sock puppet Joy Behar that she hired solely to be her spokescritter to say the things BaBa can't say because she likes pretending she is a journalist instead of a blowjob queen,but this time BaBa babbled the nonsense herself. I swear that you could see the disappointment and fear in Joy's eyes about her master taking away her sole reason to exist.
As for Whoopie,I'm surprised her head didn't explode from having to be critical of one black to defend another black.
