OH BOY! LOOK WHAT I HAVE HERE!

Say what you will about Barack Obama, but I don’t think you want to use the term “boy” anywhere near his name.

  • Jim L.

    You have to be a Clinton to do that but only by inserting their special “code”.

  • SW

    i guess i better not say… ” hey boys lets get some lunch”, at work anymore. that would make me racist. even though on of my co-workers is black and he never cared.

  • Greg

    Talk about having a finger on the button….in this case the racist button. Cut some slack. There are still places that use the term “boy” with absolutely no reference to race. Just how PC do we need to become. If the intent is to do harm in using the phrase, then by all means hold one accountable. But to jump everytime?

    Abdul- I know you meant this with a good measure of humor. However, I would hope that all who could take offense in 2008 to being referred to as any young male might, could also understand 70-some % of Indiana might feel thin-skinned that objection to present immigration policy means you are simply “bitter”. I foolishly forgot that economics and border security are meaningless. If you had ever told me that I would ever consider voting for Hillary Clinton…….

  • John Howard

    The people of the world will not be appeased until all words are assigned context-free universally-offensive connotations.

  • Mike Bowman

    Where are the white women at ?

    Blazing Saddles !

  • IndyErnie

    Like Obama, Davis misspoke.
    Boy!!! Did he misspeak?

  • IndyErnie

    It’s time we got past this crap.
    Men are men. Children are children. Boys are boys as girls are girls. Black or white the race card shouldn’t play anymore.

  • Jimmy Crack Corn

    Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy, Somebody needs sensitivity training!

    But I don’t care!

    Boy…less than a man. That’s what he said and that’s what he meant. Pretending otherwise is ridiculous. I think the proper way for one member of congress to refer to another is by their title…as in, “the Senator from Illinois”. He has earned that title…he has done nothing to earn the title of “boy”.

    Who really IS qualified to have their finger on the button? I cannot think of a single human still alive on this planet who is.

  • RD

    It is pervasive. IPD recently changed their BOY sector (east district) to BAKER.

  • SW

    RD. IPD did that because of one thin skinned wuss, who blew something way out of proportion.

  • Roberto

    This is off topic, however I want to ask if there’s any truth to the rumor Heather Mills-McCartney will be “stumping” for the Clinton campaign?

  • Rick

    I can see the campaign commercial now. …..John McCain coming home after being a POW for nearly 6 years–then on April 13, 2008, Barack Obama’s feelings were hurt….AGAIN! Waaaaaaaaa
