And we knew he was a redneck peckerwood when he was governor of Arkansas. I
ought to know, I lived in Arkansas most of the years he was governor.
Actually many of my friends called him the worst thing you can call a white
man in Arkansas, and judging by the comment he just made, still qualifies
for the epithet.
We used to say he was the first black president because:
He’s living off federal funds
He’s always lived in government housing
His wife brings in the income.
