www.weeklystandard.c om/blogs/michelle-ob ama-i-was-asked-take -something-shelMichelle Obama said some lady, gasp, asked Michelle for help reaching something on a shelf.  "Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn't anything new,"Those kinds of things?  Yeah, whether you're the queen (first lady) or just some low scum citizen, someone might need a hand.  Since when is it racist to ask for help?  Someone asked me for help loading groceries into her car.  I guess that was racist.Barack chimed in with a claim that every black man his age has trouble getting their keys back after valet parking their cars. 4951

I have been known to ask tall people to help me  get something I can't reach. Maybe that was the case here.More to do with vertically challenged people than racists.  She is a tall lady after all. 4951

They both need to just move on back into the real world and out of office. I ask anyone around for help that is tall. Why is she too good to help? Isn't she's the one always preaching to others about what they should do? What a *****y thing to say and *****y way to behave!!! Miss Priss can jet around on vacation on the taxpayers' money on AF1, yet is too good to be asked for 5 seconds worth of help!
 
***** PLEASE!!!!! 4951

Give me a frigging break!!! I was just talking to my kids about how I am asked for help frequently at the store. A lady asked me why the turkeys were so cheap, an old man asked me where the Fabreeze was, someone in a motorized cart asked if I could hand them something from a high shelf - that was all in the last month! Get off your high horse Michell and help a fellow human!
 
I am happy to help anyone who asks and even offer to help if I see someone is struggling. I was flattered that someone trusted me, a complete stranger, to help them. 4951

I get so offended when they put the large bag of Blue Diamond roasted almonds on the top shelf. What, short people don't like good almonds? All the store brand crap is near the floor. I'm sure the stores are discriminating. They are heightists. That's what they are. 4951

BTW, I had it wrong on what President Obama said.  His claim was people mistook him for the valet attendant. Walmart usually hides the supergenerics on the lowest shelf.For example, the name brand allergy pills are $13.  The generics are around $4.50.  The super generic, for the same number of pills, are around $2.40. 4951

If you hold a grudge against someome, it says more about you than the person you are holding a grudge against,
 
If you hate a person, it says more about you than the person you hate.
 
If you think someone is racist without displaying any overt racism, it says more about your views on race than it says about the other person. 4951
