Actor Robert DeNiro was kicked off a celebrity New York campaign event at which Michelle Obama spoke by asking if American was ready for a first lady of another race.
According to the White House pool report, DeNiro, who hosted the event at his restaurant Locanda Verde with his wife Grace Hightower, began by deadpanning to the crowd of about 85, “Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?”
The crowd roared and someone yelled “No!” De Niro asked, “Too soon, right?”
Hightower said that President Obama had been up against “dissenting voices, and I’d like to say, vampire energies.”
The event also included Harvey Weinstein, Beyonce, Star Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, Gayle King, Angela Bassett and Ben Stiller.
Michelle Obama called the DeNiros “a dynamic duo in their own right.”
She touted the president’s accomplishments including healthcare reform, asking the crowd, “Can I get an amen?”
The pooler noted at one point that DeNiro advocated keeping Obama until “2006,” to which one guest replied, “Don’t turn the calendar back now.”
Scratch a lefty and a racist bleeds.
Seems like a harmless joke; let’s not be like them.
If you don’t understand by now that NOTHING the Revolutionary Left says if harmless, you never will.
“revolutionary left”
To be a revolutionary you would have to be trying to overthrow a government.
The Constitution isn’t a government?
The Republicans and the Democrats are about equal at severity of interpreting the constitution BUT the Republicans are worried about losing demographics so they’re busy trying to devolve power to the states preparing for when they can no longer win national elections. SO, an HONEST look at what the parties are doing is that it is the Republicans who are trying, desperately, to overthrow 100 years of traditional interpretation of the constitution.
It would be more rational for Republicans to widen their appeal instead of trying to balkanize the country, but the current Republican party is light years from being rational.
No, I’m tired of their hypocritical bullsh*t. Let’s make these rotten bastards live up to their own “rules.”
well, deNiro doesn’t like white women to date or marry, anyway. He’s being consistent.
Is Racism the only thing these leftist bigots have in respond to everything. Deniro would still be driving a cab if it took any intelligence to be hollyweird actor.
– method acting: just repeat every line twice. Inflect when asking a question.
That’s pretty funny. A pack of Democrats, the guys who defended race-based slavery and created Jim Crow, cracking jokes about racism.
Next thing you know the Nazis will be sneering at anti-semitism.
“Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?”
I’m ready to have a Cocker Spaniel as first lady, as long as Mr. Cocker Spaniel will do something to crush socialism in this country.
Yes, Mr. DeNiro, it is not only time but overdue – and the sooner, the better! I’m sure they can find her a trophy job at GE to support her newfound jet-setter lifestyle while Ozbama digs into reorganizing the Chicago “community”!
De Palma produced a movie in the 70′s Starring DeNiro which satirized the NY scene. In these two utubes are DeNiro’s dramatized take on Genet “The Blacks” and other off-Broadway shtik like that. That part of the movie is “Be Black,Baby” and Robert these days seems to be constantly reprising that role in real life:

Could it be that DeNiro wants for the White House what he has for his household: a black matriarch?
