  • "As a Black man..." Geeez. Anyone can get shot, Michelle. Speaking like she this and differentiating one group from another based on the color of their skin only creates energy that allows racism to prevail.

  • She looks way better now than she did then.

  • @RealDealSTRAYcat Go take a sociology class at any reputable university and see how you feel then.

  • she is so cute, and she is knows what real. She also knows the black poor people.

  • What a fine example of a First Lady! Your true COLORS are showing!  /sarcasm

  • its simply not an honest answer, nevermind her trip to racisms...

  • SHE'S SO UGLY! AT TIMES

  • SHE'S SO UGLY!

  • @RealDealSTRAYcat - "...doing something he shouldn't not cuzz he's black." Kill yourself idiot.

  • decision on fear ? but his politics are based on fear !! wtf

  • And in his head the reporter was like "not the level of answer I was looking for..... next question dammit."

  • @Kandimann Education is NOT equivalent to intelligence. It was very uncouth of her to suggest that we're still living in pre-1960's America and that black people have a higher chance of being harmed in public. I'm not sure where you live but in Los Angeles it's the white people who live in fear of being shot in a gas station.

  • NOBOMBA!!! THE PIECE OF SHIT HASNT DONE CRAP FOR THIS DAMN COUNTRY! HES TO WORRIED ABOUT BEING ON FUCKING TV SHOWS!

  • Only black men get shot going to the gas station?

  • Michelle Obama is secretly a PREDATOR WITH AN ALIENS MOUTH :O

  • What a a racist. I almost got car jacked by a black man with a gun, and my son was in the car at a gas station>? So Back at you i guess?? SO what does that mean?? Ue it for every excue?? No, you are a liberal, and have a mindset even more than Half the African American Community does not, as it is too Radical!!!!

  • @ltcurry Statistically by a very large margin blacks are murdered than whites. Look it up and stop living in lalaland.

    "In 2005, 2.7% of African Americans became the victim of a violent crime, compared to 2.0% of Whites. African Americans were overall 35% more likely to sustain a violent crime."

    Also, she didn't put a race on the hypothetical shooter at the gas station. She was just making a point that blacks are more likely than whites to be murdered.

    She was being factual. What about you?

  • @joelflores619 he would be shot by another black man for his watch--your stats fail to mention that 2.7% of the black men killed are killed by other black men--and what % of the 2.0% of white men are killed by black men--blacks are 15% of the population and are responcable for 45% of violent crimes as a whole--15% of the pop. and 70% of prisoners are black men--black men are far more likely to commit violent crimes than whites and you know it

  • @damoparman Actually, every race is more likely to kill someone of their own race. Across the board. And you're wrong whites are responsible for 42.8% of violent crimes and 36.5% for blacks. Overwhelmingly, both races are violent to members of the same race. And if you haven't heard the case that judicial system and the prison industrial complex is a racist institution then you obviously are uninformed. Social conditions, poverty, and racism are part of why blacks make up so much of the pop.

  • @joelflores619 again the race card--more blacks in prison cause the prison system is racist against them--who is the blame for their social conditions--poverty--and racism---the black male is at the top of the list of the people to commit crimes--followed by hispanics--white males are far less likely to commit crimes--remember the white male pop. is far higher than blacks and hispanics--when 2 groups make up 20% of all pop. in U.S. and are responcable for 70% of prisoners--THATS A BLACK PROBLEM!

  • "We thought he was a great salesman. He turned out to be a lousy salesman. We thought he was a great politician. Instead he makes elementary mistakes and doesn't learn from them. He didn't know "shovel-ready" from a hole in the ground, and then somehow thinks admitting this ignorance without apology will add to his appeal." --Mickey Kaus, Newsweek

  • I think Mr. President realised at this moment his lovely wife isn't the most eloquent public speaker.

  • Michelle Obama so UGLY

  • @obama93142 your mama is damn uglier. trust me i know

  • Actually, the chances are far greater for a white man to be senselessly killed at a gas station, or any other place for that matter, by a black. It's in their genes to be criminalistic. We are being lied to. We are being duped. If young white minds continue to believe that blacks are our equal, and our friends, they will be digging their own graves and not realizing this travesty until it's too late.

  • His wife is ugly. He should get a big-titted white bitch and bang her pussy every night

  • she was talking about when they were growing up living in chicago with all the gangs

  • Salt

  • secure this.../watch?v=uiF9WtYaaiA

  • Larry Sinclair claims that Obama didn't get shot going to his crack dealer. He must feel invincible at the gas station.

  • I think Michelle has this idea in her head that other races have built-in body armour that we're just not telling her about. So don't tell her yet... this kind of thing is funny.

  • Did anyone else larf when the freaky haired lady called Obama a "black man" and as such is carrying a unique risk of getting shot at a gas station stereotyped to his alleged status as an American of African origin? Isn't he a mixed-race Indonesian Muslim... which is pretty cool except for the fact that he espouses himself to be a Christian American man of African origin born in Hawaii as evidenced by this very clip (where his wife calls him a black man)... which would also be cool if it were tru

  • he could be shot for betraying America

  • ya maybe a Cracker will be in the station.

    What The F is she talking abouut?

  • You know, cause only blacks get shot! Sounds like racial bigotry to me!

  • don't she mean mix man

  • She means the probability of him getting shot is higher because he is a black man, which is true because of racial profiling, don't try and act as if it doesn't exist. And she is obviously NOT an idiot, she is a Harvard graduate and married to one of the most intellectual (I feel) men in the world, so she can't be an idiot. She is quite smart to have captured his heart! And as far as her looks, he looks at her as if she is the most beautiful woman on earth, so who cares what you think? lol

  • he can get shot going to the gas station cause hes black? anyone could b shot that way white or black

  • OBAMA IS BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A nigger might get shot not because he's a nigger but because the NIGGERS that shoot him (they are next to invariably niggers, the shooters) believe that the nigger the niggers shoot have shot a nigger who was a friend to the niggers who killed the nigger.

  • michelle obama is an idiot.

  • @503mindst No she's not. You're just socially unaware.

  • This woman is a complete IDIOT !!!

  • @AlexandarTheGreat Princeton/Harvard grad. What you got on her? In fact, what did she say that you would disagree with and how is it any less intelligent?

  • @Kandimann You are total ignoramus. So what if she is Princeton/Harvard grad??

    She is captured in her ignorance. She plays race card whenever she can. The only people who would shot her husband on a gas station are blacks. I know that and you know that.

  • fucking dumbass bitch and this fraud ass family

  • @halfbrains It took a year for someone to make that comment, so you're a marginal group.

  • As a black man? wtf does that have to do with being shot...

  • Hi Everyone!

  • U can tell by Barack's face he REALLY did not want her to say that.

  • Barack himself told Steve Croft a year or so earlier that he thought of himself as a Black man. None of this ignorant, low self esteem Bi-racial craziness

  • So...when does ANY president EVER go to a gas station?!

  • @AccurateObserver She was referring to his life before he was in the public arena.

  • Obama had gparents that were leftist, socialist, Louis Farrakan was his mentor a communist, numerous more. I do not care abt white or black power, we need to unite & get our country back, constitutional wise, moral wise, and not let NWO thinking take over even if we have to fight for our country again, within, so b it

  • Lord help us if we are attacked by another nation with Bozo Obama as president...VERY scary thought !!!!!!!!!

  • As a black man? What the hell does that have to do with him being shot. Obama is not living in the ghetto and that is where most black guys get shot. You are whiter than GW Bush and it is time to drop the race card.

  • Google Dr. John Drew who was a Marxist that hung out with Obama at Occidental College.

  • He doesnt understand a damn thing about protecting this country. He is a Marxist and the dream of his would be to destroy this country from the inside. He proves it daily.

  • what a dumb bitch......

  • she kinda has evil face with that eyebrows of her

  • She looks EXTREMELY TIRED. She probably lost plenty of sleep lol

  • @fabianobaseki perhaps she is considering her speech abt how we as a country need to change our thinking, & apply Global Union thought, disassembling the US Constitution & Bill of Rights is standing in the way, what a shame

  • She is one ugly black cunt!!

  • she looks very evil here dont like that !

  • MASSHOLE, Why does it have to be about race? Ask Obamas wife. She's the one that brought up race. As far as the honor student killed in Chicago and Obama not saying a word about. I brought that up because I find it interesting that blacks like Michelle Obama could make her statement but as you proved when you ask a black person why they didn't speak out about black on black crime suddenly people like you say why do you bring in race. Because if the suspects were white they'd be all over it.

  • agree

  • wow a lot of backwards ass retards have commented on this video so far. I'm not somebody who is in love with obama, but why does everbody have to make everthing about race. what does a black guy getting beat up in chicgo have anything to do with obama.?

  • Just look at the expression of Obamas face at the exact moment his moron wife makes her idiotic comment that "being a black man he can get shot going to get gas". Look at his face. Incredible.

  • Well, it's not actually THAT bad being black that you just get shot at. That was a silly comment, but it is true that he is in danger from his fellow Americans more than ever and it is because he's black.

    Whites complain about blacks who don't make it very far, but want to kill those who make it too far. Life is hard.

  • Why didn't Obama speak out about the innocent black honor student being killed by other blacks. Funny how he couldn't state that they "acted stupidly" but yet he could speak out against a white police officer responding to defend a black mans home (Professor Gates). Mr. Gates initiated the confrontation and forced the escalation of his own arrest. yet Obama said Mr. Gates and the police officer were wrong. So, who is really the racists here. Obama and Gates. But again those damn "whites" .

  • Never heard about it, but it doesn't sound similar at all. The cop made a deliberate and decision with his authority as a police man. And this story you're describing is about murder or hazing gone wrong?

  • well said

  • Those who cry racism the most like Al Sharpton are the biggest racists themselves. The honor student in Chicago recently beaten to death was beaten and killed by other blacks. Where is Al Sharpton now speaking out against violence? No where to be found. Why? Because he can't take the bandstand against whites so he could care less that an innocent black kid was killed. It only matters to him if he were killed by a white person.

  • there is no money in speaking out against black on black crime.

  • lol, there's money in speaking out on white on black crime??

  • Actually, he never intended to address the problem with Gates as an issue. He also didn't mean to touch on the white house gate crashers on 60 minutes, but it just kind of came up.

  • well said again

  • OL UGLY LYING BITCH.

    Its not about race its about TRUTH which you never tell

    Being apart of the illuminati and NWO will get you shot much faster than your race would

  • White folks complain about blacks who don't make it very far but want to kill blacks who make it too far.

  • so all black and all white? i am white and i dont wanna kill no black, i dont think like that. she said it like its almost certain if u go to gas station and u black u will get shot. well if u russian east from ural and went to get cigaretes after 9 u probably will not make it outside staircase. not barak not his wife lived in ghetto, so its nonsense to say shit like that

  • I agree that what she said was nonsence.

    But you have to agree that Barack in his current position is threatened because as a black man he has made it too far. It only takes one bullet from one gunman bolstered up on a righteous support group.

  • i wouldnt say that as a black man he made it too far, bicoz if i say so it will mean that black people not usually capable of makin it far. i understand what u mean though. but 1st: i think that he is just 1st "black" president and thats good. 2nd: i think that all presidents of us r just spokesmen for elite, who decide and rule. 3d: i wish people wud stop talkin so much on tv about what is racial and what not, thats shouldnt be concern. we make fun of our differences all time.

  • If you understand my meaning, why interpret it incorrectly...? Just to clarify my meaning behind the word usage "too far", I wasn't reffering to capability of blacks, but I was reflecting on the insecurity of white power.

    I don't get how your 3rd point ties in, but I have to say that I agree. Black voices are heard and respected and it's time to stop being so damn sensitive. It's counterproductive; undue concern creates contempt.

  • @Maddman27 Read about the goals of the Committee of 300.

    In a 21 point outline, they want U.S. population to decrease 100 million by 2050.

    I have been telling people for over 10 years, Bush, Obama, Clinton, Kissinger, Bernanke...you get it....I wonder if others do?

  • Do half black men get shot going to the gas station all the time ? That's interesting, I have gone to gas stations with half black men. I'm lucky to be alive. Thanks Michelle, I know now about half blacks and gas stations.

  • lol what's with your 'half black' comment?

  • Annnnd whites don't get shot? Caucasion = Kevlar ?? Welll sheeeeittt !! I wish I woulda known that when I was getting shot at as a part of the neighborhood's I patrolled and worked in. I woulda felt much better :-)

  • What do u mean playing the race card? It was the interviewer who asked the question.

  • i know right..all the morons on here sound racist to me. She is correct..u can get shot as a black person walking down the street. She never said who could shoot him. Black or white or jew . She never said white. These ppl who comment are racist as hell.

  • shot by whom? because statistically, at the gas station, he'd be more likely to get carjacked by another black person.

  • ...

  • Just another example of the Obama's playing the race card.

  • they didnt have to play the race card really. black america is so dumb they voted based on race and race alone.

  • Most people have realized by now that blacks vote for democrats because democrats take care of a broader spectrum of America. You're just a little slow, now, aren't you?

  • no, they vote democrat because they are dumb to think that republicans are racists. thats why. all these years supporting democrats, and what has it gotten them? more and more out-of-wedlock births, a 50% dropout rate in the inner cities???? yea, lets vote democrat. its easier than thinking.

  • Lol most republicans stay republican because it's easier than thinking! Republicans are more expressed with their religion and condemn the democrats and their audience eats up whatever they say.

    Also I want to point out that republicans are soooo dumb... they don't want to see passing out condoms as a way to combat high rates of teen pregnancy.

  • And another thing-- the drop out rates and the out of wedlock birth rates probably has to do with the lack of strong parental guidance by two adults and not likely because they vote democrat.

  • She says he can get shot just going to get gas? Who's going to shoot him? Probably another black person. Black on black crime is through the roof. But no, Michelle Obama isn't a racist.

  • sooo true

  • Never mind this white guilt instilling nonsense. Obama has secret service security. White people don't. What is this black Obama going to do about the 35,000 black men raping white women each year? And when will Obama confront the black-on-white violent crime crisis raging across America?

  • Because he is black he could be shot at a gas station? I don't know why she brought up that he could be shot because he is black. Anyone could be killed that way?

  • @sillypunkgrl Think about it birdbrain

  • @sillypunkgrl because if he were to get shot he would be a martyre for the black community igniting outrage. It could trigger another civil war. If black people thought that their president was shot because he was black. it would only strengthen their delusional ideas of social oppression and push them to rage against the white community. Imagine what the media would do with that situation.

  • @mmccravy123 You don't know black people. If 50 black folks go out and break a few windows, y'all say we're rioting around the nation. Nevermind the 40mill the stayed at home.

  • @Kandimann I believe that if "he" was shot then it would cause a little bit more of a negative effect than just 50 people from the black community breaking windows. If that is all that would happen then he really did steal the presidency and he must be despised more than we are led to believe.

  • @mmccravy123 Well I agree, there will be people who have a fit over his death. But, my argument still stands, all it takes is 50 people and the media will portray all black folks as wildin' out savages. The black people who would discuss this with a rational discourse will be ignored or even ostracized with the rioters. If the president gets shot, we know why.

  • @sillypunkgrl cause if your white or mexican or anything else you can't get shot going to the gas station.

  • @mikejclark ya that's my point.

  • @sillypunkgrl

    John F Kennedy was shot, or does he still live?

  • @sillypunkgrl Yes. Y'all don't know.

  • @sillypunkgrl i think she means whilst he was running for president

  • @sillypunkgrl Mrs. Obama agress that anybody can be shot at a gas station. She said this within the context of the very real threat of hate crimes that the first Black president has to deal with... I think this would make more sense if this clip was not chopped down to 00:49 and if we remember that "the" Black Leader MLK was a victim of a hate crime

  • Just a little correction about what paradigmSkate said: Obama has spent almost 7 times the amount all of the US presidents combined and he accomplished this task before the half of his first term. Another note about the "Obama Deception", he has lied about everything he has promised to the american people except for 1 thing: To get things done quickly and the only reason why he has been able to do that is because of the Democratic congress.

  • Man she's right. As A black man, that can happen. Hopefully in a more accepting America. As a black man, he will get greeted with a smile athe gas station.

  • yo quick question why are most americans on here so hostile complaining about the economy and what not i mean seriously change wont occur overnight and you all should be proud of your president hes doin the best he can with what hes been given lol which happens to be your country

  • The fact is, the only "change" like he promised is going to be negative. Man hes putting us so deep in the crapper. If you got time search "the obama deception" and see whats really going down..........

  • Explain in specific terms giving examples of how Obama is putting us in the crapper any more than GW did. Give examples. I see what's "really" going on: A bunch of white folks freaking out. Well it's NOT going to change so either offer another solution or shut up cause your complaining ain't solving anything.

  • Well gee......you could try watching "The Obama Deception" like I mentioned, it explains everything. Not to mention that everyone complains about how GW spent soooo much money on the war and all that, but if you look at the stats, Obama has spent over SIX times more already than GW did in 8 years!! Not saying I'm a Bush fan at all because I'm not. And by the way I'm not even white so thats pretty much a moot point, my opinion has absolutely nothing to do with race!

  • 1st of alI have an education, I don't need to listen or watch 3rd party propanganda like the Obama Deception. I am able to look at the policies implemented and independently decide what I do and don't like.

    2nd: You've failed to offer any intelligent solution and only focus on the fact that I mentioned white people freaking out so of course it has EVERYTHING to do with race. Ur upset because I pointed that out.

    White people r freaking out & u r going to cry likie babies 4 the next 8 years.

  • I have NO problem with the bailouts, whoever is in charge would do the same thing. The quest is whether they would do it for mtheir special interets or for the good of the nation as a whole. The president isnj't just acting onm behalf of rich people or white people he is acting on behalf of ALL people.

    If GW had been fair he would have spent moe money also.

  • I never saidor wrote that you are white, u don't have to be white to go along with the fact thaty whites are freasking out.

    Once u are educated u will learn this.

  • And you aren't very intelligent.

  • You fail..........

  • white collar crook Timmay is the former president of the new york federal reserve.

    A non federal, private cartel. a monopoly.

    Robert gates, secretary of defense, and was bush's too. change?

    Rahm Emanuel sucks cocks for federal reserve bills.

    Rahm you duel citizen jew, you work for the people, not the other way around.

    I SMELL WW3 engineering. No rahm i will not die for Israel.

    us citizens are not your storm troopers.

    Just bring the troops home already.

  • Oh shut the fuck up. Yes it IS change. Do you still fucking see Bush or Cheney?

    Maybv4e if that dumb bastard Bush had focused on Afghanistan instead of oil in Iraq the troops would already be home.

  • shouldn't be in Afghanistan either. You don't acually believe in that "Bin Ladin planned 9/11" storry do you??

  • Comment removed

  • racism is coming from every race... and honestly you want to talk about something that is racist... I hate when people say "oh im not mexican I'm spanish dip shit" ... "oh im not asian im korean" ... when is the last time you heard someone labeled as "white" and said "oh im not white I'm russian...on im not white I'm english..." racism is really 2 faced in the country.... get some tough skin and move on if you want things to change... people with chips on their shoulders help nothing

  • what exactly are they talking about? i mean its such a short clip i cant even tell what the hell the subject is?

  • Articulate and interesting speaker; has makings of great first lady!

  • search obama schwarzenegger argument!

  • i agree with reynee13, one thumbs up.

  • I find everything that Mrs. Obama is saying here is be very very racist and very unrealistc. She clearly has no idea what this country is about; I have lived all over the US and I have never been in a place that was truly that unsafe.

    Respectfully, Mrs. Obama, this is not 1878- we are not in the Civil War era. The racist card is one you've beaten just about to death and eventually people are going to realize how untrue- and in some cases truly insulting- that is.

  • I know you wrote this like a month ago but you must be kidding if you think racism isn't still going on. Just go to any political video here on youtube and see how many racist are running around. Our first lady is most certainly correct as usual

  • Wow, Michelle looked so old and a bit pissed..is it me or did she look like Oprah a little bit? o__o;

  • Let's all pray he stays safe for his family for this country and the world.

  • Is it really that bad in the land of the free?

  • The Bible admonishes us to pray for those who govern over us...color ought not to make a difference. Give Obama a chance, say I, and let's have all sides stop the 'Black' issue. He is the president, let's assume he might be one of the first honest ones and pray that he will lead America with God's direction and blessings.

  • your right about the bible saying that,the problem is Obama is so pro abortion and partial birth abortion and is already using our tax dollars to fund overseas abortion.i pray for him cuz he is the president but i highly doubt God Bless's abortion.

  • what a couple of douches. didn't this pinhead biden say that obama was the 1st clean black man that the dems had run? how did this clown become VP?

  • LOL barrack is looking down the whole time....wonder wat hes thinkin about

  • "as a black man?" what ? How is that relevent? Typical playing the victim role. You refuse to see that racism has been irraticated to the point where you were elected president of the USA.

  • that made sense if you know what racism is what its like to not know if you're seen as nigger or man

  • All I can say to a putrid liberal as your self is in words you could barely comprehend is "Nigger Lover".

  • what the fuck kind of answer is that?!

  • hes not gonna get shot. his new car... can take anything. i mean literally anything... its proof from whatever. but anyway white house is secured and security spreads out 6miles from the house so... sniping will not be in the question.. to far outta range. thank u buh bye.

  • OBAMA is the real deal,he is not fake,I have faith that obama will guide america down the right path,and open new doors for a better america...PEACE...

  • obama echoes Kennedy and Lincoln too much. they both got shot. obama is begging somebody to shoot him if you ask me. he probly gonna git his when HE tries to drive by on Colin Powell.

  • To all the nutballs out there: I don't care if we have different political views. BUT, harm this guy or his kin and I will go batsh*it on your ass

  • I like her she tells the damn truth.

  • Men are more than twice as likely to die in accident from ages 1 - 44, so what should we do about that Michelle?

  • I see black people get shot all the time at gas stations. That's why I run away when a black person pulls up next to me at the pump.

  • You're such a fucking liar.
