Tonight is the Night for Barack’s “Typical White” Grandmother
Barack Obama had some very nice things to say about his grandmother tonight:
And when I hear a woman talk about the difficulties of starting her own business, I think about my grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle-management, despite years of being passed over for promotions because she was a woman. She’s the one who taught me about hard work. She’s the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life. She poured everything she had into me. And although she can no longer travel, I know that she’s watching tonight, and that tonight is her night as well.
I don’t know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine.
This is, of course, the same grandmother he called a “typical white person” and threw under the bus to save his association with his long-time racist mentor Jeremiah Wright.
