Is this a racist joke? Did he cross the line?

I don't personally see how that is racist. Besides he was from a different era.

The joke stems from Obama mopping up after Bush's mess after he took office.

It was not a racist joke but Jessie Jackson & Al Sharpton want to make something out of it.

Maybe they can make some money for themselves off of the publicity.

Then 2 muppets are just want to make everything sound racist. I mean we don't over react if a black guy made a joke about a white person.

Good point you bring up. People should learn how to lighten up a little.

He is no racist. He is an equal opportunity guy. He insults everyone equally.
