Ellen Degeneres’ opening monologue at this year’s Oscar ceremony hummed along for most of its length in the tone of mildly passive-aggressive but fundamentally affectionate showbiz-ribbing she’s been perfecting for over a decade on her talk show.
Then, just before the commercial break, the bit ended abruptly on a joke that stood out starkly for being, in the immortal words of Liz Phair, “obnoxious, funny, true and mean.” The night, Degeneres predicted,
could only end in one of two ways: “Possibility No. 1: 12 Years a Slave wins. Possibility No. 2: You're all racists." There was a startled pause, then a big laugh (or maybe that was just my own guffaw ringing in my ears?).
i first thought, uh oh she's stepped in it, then the reality of what she said rang true, the country is changing Pres. said "we are the change that we've been waiting for",
republicans beat him down about the change you can count on and where was it, it was on the seat their butts were occupying, they moved in their efforts to put America on hold while they dealt with the Black guy with big ears sitting in the WH, when they moved more changed then the position they are sitting in.
look at all that is now that wasn't talked about 5 years ago, no recent republican president can make that claim maybe none ever.
