Palin Called Obama "Sambo"

“So Sambo beat the bitch!”


This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.


According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.


“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.


Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”


Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.

Considering that I have never heard Michelle Obama speak with any slang terms, but instead has used proper English, I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden she going to change the way she speaks.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. It would probably be more effective if it came out a week or so before the election. Think it's out of character for Michelle to have said that? Not so sure.
