Michele Bachmann Accuses Obama of ‘Waving a Tar Baby in the Air,’ Then Backpedals Like Hell

Update:

And the backpedaling began almost immediately. A spokesperson explained that Bachmann meant the conversation about our black President in the “sticky trap made of tar” way and not in the “our black President is blacking around again” way.

The congresswoman values all human life - regardless of race, color or creed. If you listen to the interview, Rep. Bachmann was making a point about the president’s poor understanding of oil prices, which has nothing to do with race. The president doesn’t understand the oil market and hence, has gotten himself into a sticky situation.

Even if she did mean it to mean “a sticky traplike situation,” doesn’t her use of the antique slang seem a little Freudian slip-y, at least? Earlier in the interview, she urged that, when examining Obama’s energy policy, we “call a spade a spade.”

“Spade” is another racist term occasionally used in reference to black people. Too bad she couldn’t work a casual reference to how the President is “enslaving” Americans in there.
