"It?s like touching a tar baby ..."

It's a cosmic phenomenon. Then some moron hears "black" and says "THAT'S RACIST!!!!!!" Just like master/slave IDE hard drives. No one is trying to suggest anything racist, but somewhere, someone is fretting over it.


You lied.
 
"It?s like touching a tar baby ..."

I've never even heard this expression... sounRAB like he went out of his way in using a archaic expression that hasn't been uttered in 50+ years in order to subtly insult Obama.

I'm not the PC police, and I don't think this guy should catch any flak for what he said. I just don't get how he could not come up with a better example, a more current example, to express his opinion other than using a metaphor that was popular LAST CENTURY (and around 60 years ago.) He could have likened Obama to fly-paper, or some other sticky substance.

Its the same for the DC school official who used the word "niggardly" a few years ago. Yes, he used it in the correct context, but no one ever uses that word to describe that situation. And if you are in a room with a bunch of merabers of the D.C. school board, you damn sure better not use any word that starts with "nigg."
