Barack Obama’s bullying of “Coretta.” #pray4coretta

Alternative title: "Barry bullied a girl. And he liked it."

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  May 10th, 2012 at 02:30 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

(via @adambaldwin) Scare quotes deliberate: for all I know, ‘Coretta’ is a composite of three or four African-American girls that President Barack Obama bullied as a kid.

“I’m not her boyfriend!” I shouted. I ran up to Coretta and gave her a slight shove; she staggered back and looked up at me, but still said nothing. “Leave me alone!” I shouted again. And suddenly Coretta was running, faster and faster, until she disappeared from sight. Appreciative laughs rose around me. Then the bell rang, and the teachers appeared to round us back to class.

No wonder Barack Obama underpays women who work for him. He’s been carefully taught to treat ‘em that way.

PS: Oh, I’m sorry: was that unfair? Let me keep repeating this: the Left will not win a “Whose candidate is weirder?” contest. Also: Obama staffers need to read their candidate’s own books before they try to pass scary stories about Romney to the mainstream press. Because while Barack Obama may have meant that passage to be about how racism (“Coretta’s” description was perhaps slightly… stereotypical) informed his upbringing, it reads just as easily as being an account of How I Learned To Push Women Around And Never Suffer The Consequences.

    hmmmm………
    Wow, poor Coretta.

  • NRPax

    Oh, that’s right! The movie “Flatliners” when Kevin Bacon’s character remembers bullying a black girl. Who knew that Obama’s early life story was that compelling?

    Beat the daylights out of her.

    But then if the people in his “memoirs” are composites of different anonymous people the press just won’t be able track down any of them to find out what a meanie the O might have been…

    On the other any half remembered, secondhand, way past the statute of limitations allegation about any R candidate will be paraded as the gospel truth and reason to run the R out of the country etc…

  • veritaseequitas

    culture? You know, the culture that demeans and abuses women? And this is the POTUS who is all about women and their well-being and their rights and equality? Yeah, what evah.
    Moe is right – people who live in glass houses shouldn’nt throw stones.

    Just a little nit…Subtitle says “Barry bulled a girl.” I think you meant “bullied.”

  • evilbloggerlady

    Since Mitt Romney’s high school history seems so relevant to this election, I am assuming the same holds true for Obama’s high school years? Who set up Barack Obama’s Big Comrades program with Frank Marshall Davis and more importantly, why did they set it up?

  • http://moelane.com/ Moe Lane

    And just fixed it.

  • jomo2009

    the original subtitle!

    At the Romney bullying story (which is a desperate overreach) but we should stand back and look at what this tells us about Obama’s campaign machinery.

    Obama comes out for gay marriage. The day after a story comes out about Romney bullying a gay classmate — and it just so happens the topic of bullies targeting gay teens is understandably a huge issue amongst gays and lesbians. And now tonight George Clooney will be holding a huge Hollywood fundraiser where you need to pay $40,000 just to get inside.

    This sequence of events couldn’t have been organized better, if the goal was fundraising. And to date, the Democrats haven’t been where they’d like to be in keeping up with GOP fundraising efforts.

    Obama is getting his base into a frenzy. They’ll crawl over broken glass for him in November. Is Romney making any effort to lock up his own base so that they’ll fight just as hard for him?

    It’d help if Romney didn’t come out FOR the auto bailouts, taking credit for giving Obama the idea. I tell you, I knew that was coming, but even I’m surprised it happened in such bold and flagrant fashion.

    If Obama starts pulling away from Romney in any serious way in the polls, I dread, absolutely dread the ways we’ll see Romney unconsciously try to become more like Obama.

    Mitt, you’ve got the nomination. Take a couple weeks off. Take a month off. But find your conservative spine, get yourself in true fighting shape. Then come out ready for the political fight of your life. Because the honest truth right now is you are just not ready for what’s coming your way.

  • Tbone

    Would that be the 60% of Democrats who didn’t vote for the jailbird?

  • Tbone

    lesbian because of this incident but became a track star along the way.

  • goodgovernance

    Well then may I suggest that you may have erred in your thinking.

    Rah-rah-ism that shuts out the political reality didn’t help Perry one iota, and it’s not going to push Mitt over the finish line either. Strategy coupled with voter intensity will.

  • blakemoney

    This so called “victim” never mentioned anything to the school about any haircutting incident. Could the other “witnesses” in the story be lying? Has anyone checked into these guys to see if they are registered democrats, or homosexual-friendly liberals?

    If Mitt Romney raped someone in high school and the girl dies 35 years later without having told anyone, how could a newspaper responsibly print such a story without a primary source?

    I’m shocked that Romney would apologize for something he can’t even be sure even happened. I’m sure there are political reasons for what he’s doing–sort of like settling out of court for a wrongdoing so that it doesn’t drag out in trial. I get that. But this was so long ago, and if Romney can’r remember cutting some hippy’s hair, why should we trust the eyewitnesses after all these years?

  • ThePoliticalHat

    …you are going after “composites.”

  • ken58

    the more often the MSM runs hit pieces like this the more likely I’ll be to vote for Romney in November.
    The Washington Post is doing a great job helping Romney consolildate ate support among conservatives. They are forcing us to “circle the wagons.” Keep it up, WP. You’re infuriating us and causing us to unite.

  • rabun1016

    Its all about selling tickets to clooney’s gig. Another 100 tix sold

  • Tbone

    You must be a very serious 20 year old who actually thinks that you know something in addition to straight up. You don’t.

    I would suggest that you limit your concept of “strategy” to breathing in and out until you acquire a lick of sense or at least a sense of humor.

  • goodgovernance

    But if you’ve got concepts of “strategy” you think will lead to victory in November, I’m happy to hear you lay them out.

    I just hope they don’t focus on West Virginia.

  • larryag

    Just hw many blacks do you suppose were attending Punahou back then? Damn few.The whole story is probably just another fantasy not worth any effort.All of this bullying crap right now is just a distraction from the important issues of our time.

  • larryag

    What’s up with all of the auto correct on this site? I am constantly correcting as I type. Lousy place to try to compose.

  • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

    So you must be confused.

  • Ausonius

    which is an old complaint, along with several others about composing text here on the “Comment-Level” vs. the Diary-Level.

  • Tbone

    Rub your two brain cells together until you generate a spark of cognizance.

  • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

    It’d be redundant for us to put it into the site.

    And for a frequent complaint this is the first I’ve heard of it. I’ve heard of requests for comment PREVIEW (which won’t happen anytime soon due to how WP denigrates comments), but not for automatic spelling corrections.

  • acat

    Okay, there’s my “impossible thing” for the day!

    I wrote this on Monday, but have mentioned the “primitive” features of this website throughout the years:

    “RedState is very primitive on that basis and people can make all kinds of excuses about why such a function does not exist here. Not to mention ease in placing BOLD or italicized texts: where is the the BOLD button? Or the ease in placing an Internet link? Where is that button?

    Love the content here, but typing comments, rather than diaries, can be just frustrating!”

    See:

    I use Firefox with a Macintosh at home and I-E with a Dell at school and neither has any sort of “Auto-Correct” capability.

    It was introduced in Lion.

  • Darin_H

    You see right there, I try to write your name correctly with an i and it always substitutes an a. Also, I make brilliant post after brilliant post and the damn auto-correct on this site just keeps making me look like a babbling fool!
