Can’t a Presidential Candidate Fill Up His Car in Peace Anymore?

Apparently, black people get shot at when they go to fill up their cars. This according to Barack Obama’s wife:

The heavy presence of security around Obama was also a silent reminder of the change that took place with the announcement. Michelle Obama, the candidate’s wife, acknowledged it in an interview to air on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” in which she was asked if she fears for her husband’s life as a black candidate.
“I don’t lose sleep over it because the realities are that . . . as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station,” Michelle Obama said in the interview, set to air Sunday night. “You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”

That’s not right. Whoever is shooting at Obama when he goes to the Exxon station, could you stop it? While you’re at it, just stop the shooting at the black people in general.
I know gas stations already have signs up about not smoking near the pumps, but maybe they should add another about not shooting at black people.

  1. Okay, the policy now is AGAINST shooting black people? Okay, got it.
    So I’m gonna need a new hobby, as I’ve spent an average of 10-15 hours per week out shooting at black people.
    How else are we going to oppress them, stop them from coming out of their designated living areas, stop them from applying to colleges, stop them from applying for white-collar jobs? What do you want, for one of them to someday consider running for office??

  2. Hey, I got shot at once while pumping Gas. I was wearing my bomber jacket, and was facing away. The guy came over and apologized profusely when he saw I was German-American, not a black man.
    His name is Carlos, and he’s actually pretty cool.
    We still laugh about that day.

  3. It may sound strange, but black people are also more likely to run for president since Obama made his announcement. And look at how many of our presidents have been shot at! So, now that blacks are more likely to run for president, and some percentage of people running for president actually become president, and some percentage of presidents get shot, he’s actually created the problem for himself, and all blacks! His wife should be worried!

  4. Actually, I think I’ll stay out of this one. I don’t joke about the shooting of political leaders. Taboo! Won’t go there. It’s a bit like trying out a bomb joke at the airport. The assassinations back in the 60’s were bad for the whole country, conservatives included. I don’t even want to think about the consequences if some redneck nut job off’ed Obama.

  5. It’s funny but we don’t have people taking pot shots at Africans Americans pumping gas at service stations in my area. Is this some kind of east coast phenom ?
    Nobody’s shooting at politicians pumping gas either,….. go figure.
    Maybe the Obama’s need to move to a safer neighborhood or hire some pasty faced, red haired, freckled, short, fat kid to pump their gas. After all no on would ever shoot someone who looked like that.
    Maybe if Ms. Obama read about what happened today in Salt Lake she’d understand that other people besides her family and her race are killed everyday. Wait, I forgot, Liberal politicans and their families are special, different, (a protected species) My bad.
