Obama Campaign Says ‘White First Lady’ Joke Was ‘Inappropriate’

A spokeswoman for first lady Michelle Obama said a racially tinged joke by actor Robert De Niro at a campaign fundraiser Monday night was inappropriate, after Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich demanded the White House apologize.

We believe the joke was inappropriate, spokeswoman Olivia Alair said in a statement. 



The actor later on Tuesday released a statement saying he had not meant to offend anyone with his comment.

“My remarks, although spoken with satirical jest, were not meant to offend or embarrass anyone — especially the First Lady,” he said, according to reports.

So let the shim sham scam commence..Mis managed the current level of funding. Now want more to cover their bussiness incompetence. We need to draw a line. First I want to see the budget in a newspaper, I want to see the cuts they propose(not the disinformation term "DOOMSDAY BUDGET")Only then, after reviewing where the money they already get is going what cuts they propose. THEN and only then would I consider a tax increase. YOU guys are living under a rock..remember who you work for and your lack of current planning leads me to belive you will mis manage the next load of cash if you get your way...If you decide to go down this road. I will be voting with a move to a more friendlier neigbor state DELVA. make sure you let all the fellow crooks in Annapolis know
