Barack Obama on <em>60 Minutes</em> in which she said that "as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station." Steele asserts that Barack Obama "was at virtually no risk of being shot by a white racist on the way to the gas station" and claims that his wife's comments were "facilitating her race's manipulation of the American mainstream." In fact, Michelle Obama never said her husband could be shot by "a white racist"; she never specified who she thought posed a threat. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801160005 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:49:53 EST
