Lighten up Newt Gingrich... It was just a joke for Christ's sake. Lest we forget the real issues of the day such as high gasoline prices, the economy, Mitt Romney kicking your ass...

Robert De Niro joke took place at a fundraiser for President Obama with first lady Michelle Obama on Monday night. The Gingrich campaign, for one, has taken exception.

Washington

Actor Robert De Niro has just reinforced one of the truisms of a presidential campaign involving an African-American candidate: Just about any reference to race raises hackles.

Mr. De Niro hosted a fundraiser for President Obama with first lady Michelle Obama on Monday night in New York, and he kicked off his remarks with this quip: "Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?"

According to the pool report, the crowd roared and someone yelled "no!" as De Niro asked, "Too soon, right?"

Newt Gingrich didn’t appreciate the irony. The presidential contender and former House speaker called the comment “inexcusable” and demanded an apology from Mr. Obama, according to the Associated Press.

"I think that Robert De Niro's wrong," Mr. Gingrich said at a campaign stop in Shreveport, La., the AP reported. "The country is ready for a new first lady, and he doesn't have to describe it in racial terms."

Tuesday afternoon, a senior Gingrich adviser – African-American, female – also jumped in, arguing that if a conservative had made such a comment, the media would have objected...

But, when some conservative makes a joke... then it's fine to take that as a serious comment.

You're such a hypocrite.

When are you going to denounce your membership in the anti-Obama cult?

Ever Notice how It's only ok to think in Terms of Race, if your a Liberal Elitist Asshole?

He is Admitting he thinks we should not vote for a White Person, because we should not have a White Person in the WH so soon? And that's not fucking Racist BS? That's not Irrational Thinking? We should always pick the Best person for the Job, Since when is it ok to even Consider Race when making your Decision?

Oh I know, It's ok if you are a Liberal, and you are talking about White people.

Just Imagine if Obama won another term, and then 4 years from now there was a Black Candidate, and someone said it's too soon for another Black First Lady? Would they not be tarred and Feathered as a Racists asshole? How is this any Different.

So if some big wig republican, at a fund raiser, said as a joke, is it to soon for another black first lady.... we wouldn't be swamped with calls of racism from the left and the press?

"The country is ready for a new first lady, and he doesn't have to describe it in racial terms."

"Are you ready for another black first lady?"

It would go over with a resounding thud because the line for ANOTHER black first lady would be... zero!
