That’s because anything you say about Obama is a gaffe, something I’ve been saying since 2007, when Obama was a first-term Senator just starting his Presidential campaign.‘Obama’s Hip-Hop BBQ Didn’t Create Jobs‘The headline, not surprisingly, immediately sparked renewed charges of racism against the network. But Fox is standing by it.[Fox News website calls Obama’s birthday party a ‘Hip-Hop BBQ’,By Dylan Stableford | The Cutline – 15 hrs ago]The private party included dinner (”BBQ chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta, salad”) in the Rose Garden was attended by Obama’s staff and celebrities including Al Sharpton, Jay-Z, Chris Rock, Charles Barkley, Steve Harvey, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. There were performances by Stevie Wonder, R&B singer Ledisi, jazz legend Herbie Hancock. A DJ “played Motown, hip-hop, and ’70s and ’80s R&B.”
“The president asked everyone to dance — and they did!”
