A Greeley businessman apologized Wednesday after a joke about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama fell flat during the National Western Stock Show's annual Citizen of the West banquet.

William R. Farr was pretending to read telegrams congratulating this year's award recipient, University of Colorado President Hank Brown, when he pulled out a piece of paper and said, "I have a telegram from the White House."
Then he added, "They're going to have to change the name of that building if Obama's elected."

Thoughts?

Hopefully it will not come to that...
I don't want Obama or Hilliary in the White House

hmy: That was a mistake.

Well, in some ways it is funny, but it depends on context. That house has largely been a "white", save servants/staff and until very recently the occasional cabinet official. In that way, I find it a funny social remark. But - for that to be delivered effectively, you might have to follow it up with "and its about time...."

Enter Rev. Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson I'm sure.

Nah, I would actually bet they have made similar off the cuff comments along these lines at some time.

They are NOT white. Just ask them.

And Obama is someone I may vote for though it is doubtful

Seriously, you're considering voting for a Muslim to be president of the United States? 9-11-01 was less than seven years ago.

I hope that was sarcasm

That is certainly an example.

Honestly, I had completely forgotten about 9/11

Seems since then I have just been sleeping through the last few years and time has just flown by

Thank you for reminding me

This is where Romney has an edge over Obama, 09/11/1857 was over 150 years ago.

:crazy:

It was a horrible joke.

I don't mean it was offensive, I mean it wasn't funny.

I agree. It was a really lame attempt at humor.
