Modern Politics Sometimes Amuse the Hell Out of Me

So, already, Obama has been called an Uncle Tom* by Ralph Nader and, now, a House Negro by bin Laden's number two.

I'm just waiting for Obama to get fed up with it all, and start calling people 'honkies' and 'crackers.'

EDIT: shogunhb has also reminded me that, as a Hawaiian, Obama may also choose to call folks 'haole'

* In fact, Ralph Nader did NOT

I like the third definition. It made my day by tickling the little conquistador in all of us. Although, it did forget the giving some sort of pox upon their people.

And of course, there are the perfectly valid Hitler comparisons.

If you ask me, al Qaeda wasted a huge opportunity by insulting Obama. If they'd put out a press release "celebrating our Muslim brother's seizure of the White House" and saying they're looking forward to working with him, they would have caused soooo much mayhem.

And lost their cause for existing. Al Qaeda leadership doesn't care if we have a few weeks of Bill O'Reilly calling Obama a traitor in a different way, they need to make sure their support base continues to think they're relevant.

I don't think Obama gets any "haole" privileges, since it's more about native Hawaiians (which doesn't mean someone who was born on Hawaii) talking about white people. At best he's probably on the sidelines for that whole deal.
