Obameo? Rush Limbaugh Likens Obama To An Oreo Because It’s A ‘Biracial Cookie’

Video
» 281 comments

This week, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh managed to turn a delicious (or repulsive, maybe) sugary snack cookie into a racial issue. Grab a cold glass of milk and get ready!

On his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh discussed Kraft’s latest Dr. Moreau-ian concoction, a multi-layered “Triple Double Oreo” cookie containing both chocolate and vanilla cream. Some of us might hear about the existence of such a cookie and think “Diabetes!” or “I need sixteen of these immediately” or even “I wonder what the First Lady thinks about this,” given Michelle Obama has made combating childhood obesity her special focus while her husband is Commander-in-Chief. Limbaugh, however, immediately thought of Barack Obama because — LOL! — he’s biracial!

It’s a “Triple Double” Oreo. Do you like Oreos, is that…? Well, what it’s going to be here, it’s actually a biracial cookie. You’ve got three of the chocolate wafers, and then you’ve got the white vanilla cream, and then there’s a chocolate cream. So you’ve got three… The thing is, there’s Oreo on it, the wafer. And then you’ve got the white cream, and you got another chocolate wafer, and then you’ve got the chocolate cream and then you’ve got the bottom wafer. The Triple Double Oreo. You wait, it won’t be long before it’s going to be called the “Obameo” or something like this. Well, it’s a biracial cookie here!

He also joked that the cookie is the food industry’s direct response to Mrs. Obama’s health initiatives and, in the same show, referred to the President’s bus tour as the “White Like Me” tour. Now, we understand that many will listen to or read about Limbaugh’s comments and think “So what? It’s just a joke. How is this even racist? You hippies are too sensitive.”

Instead of giving a lesson in the history or race relations or on how “Oreo” has long been used as a racial epithet, let’s focus instead on what this joke (“joke”) says about Limbaugh, from a marketing and image maintenance standpoint. By thinking “LOL OBAMA” following a discussion on cookies, Limbaugh comes across as weirdly obsessed with the President, particularly with his skin color and racial background. The jab at the First Lady at least makes some sort of sense, contextually, given her focus on food, but why bring up the fact that Obama is biracial? (I mean, obviously, yes: He did this so that people can either clutch their pearls in horror or take a special kind of delight in yelling “WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL! IF YOU THINK IT IS RACIST, THEN YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY RACIST!” at people disgusted with Limbaugh’s comments. And he did because outlets –like, oh, Mediaite — will write about his show. You’re welcome, Rush.)

Playing Devil’s advocate for a moment, though: It could be possible that Limbaugh was attempting poke fun at others’ obsession with Obama, but that argument is more than a little thin right now given 1) the President isn’t polling terribly well at the moment and 2) Limbaugh doesn’t offer any further evidence to support this, as the topic of conversation was changes within the food industry, and not Obama and his popularity or lack thereof.

The question, then, is not so much “Why did Limbaugh say this?” but “What does this say about Limbaugh?” It would have been one thing if the host had put Obama’s race into some sort of larger context by offering some thoughtful, if provocative, commentary about the relationship between race and public image, or about pandering to a certain demographic at the cost of integrity, or on the public perception of any given race, etc. But he didn’t. He found biraciality odd or funny enough to become a punchline on its own, without offering further analysis. As such, Limbaugh comes across as being bothered by biraciality without being able to articulate why. He’s the kindergarten bully at the playground who throws sand in the face of the girl he likes because he doesn’t know how to voice his feelings, or is afraid or embarrassed by them.

Listen to Limbaugh’s segment for yourselves;

    At first, this comes off as racist. But I dont think so, I think Rush just wanted to shoe-horn Obama into the conversation to make fun of him, it just wasn’t very clever or funny

    Well am not surprised he got his Math wrong just like his politics. Obama is 50/50, the ratio of light and dark colors in Oreo would be 3:1. Again Kids stay away from abusing prescription drugs, this is what happens to ya.

    Give it a rest.  It’s funny.  You’re allowed to make jokes about people.  There is absolutely no way that someone would take offense to this unless they are trained to.  In other words, unless they think they’re supposed to.  If more people made innocent jokes like this, we’d be a lot better off.  One day, liberals are going to have to stop acting like they are the protectors of all things minority.  Minorities aren’t lesser people than you, liberals.  I know it’s hard to believe but they are big boys too.  They can take a joke.  They can think for themselves.

    Ooops! I think someone took the bait and fell into a deeper hole. Biracial is of 2 races, Multiracial consists of several races.

    Let me break it down for ya: bi·ra·cial (b-rshl)
    adj.
    1. Of, for, or consisting of members of two races.
    2. Having parents of two different races.

    mul·ti·ra·cial (mlt-rshl, -t-)
    adj.
    1. Made up of, involving, or acting on behalf of various races: a multiracial society.
    2. Having ancestors of several or various races.

    Anyone that listens to Rush knows his shtick is taking what liberals do, say, believe, and then applying it to them in some sort of way.  It’s the LEFT that is obsessed with race, not Rush.  The Left sees race in everything.  Example…  recent Ed Schultz “black cloud” bit.  Rush does what liberals think about out loud to show how absurd they are.  And you liberals do exactly what is expected… you acted offended beyond belief.

    I wonder how you know that, mike, since it’s not in Chavet’s book or anyone else.  Chavet’s book quotes Limbaugh as “being vague about the distant past” and only caring about it when it was time to talk about his grandfather, the famous Republican lawyer, anti-new Deal legislator, and community leader. 

    Still, it was the last sentence I actually cared about and the one which talks to me about Limbaugh’s race reactions to this day. Missouri had Jim Crow laws http://www.jimcrowhistory.org/scripts/jimcrow/insidesouth.cgi?state=Missouri and Limbaugh’s Daddy and Granddaddy were prominent lawyers defending that status quo.  In the 60′s Limbaugh’s friends told Zev Chafets that Daddy L sat in front of the TV and yelled about the evils of Communism and liberalism….gee, wonder what that meant in ’63 or ’64?  Grandp

    Check out this for further info https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/hdodson2/www/race.html about race relation in new Madrid and the Cape at that time.

    Which is not to take away from the fact that Mike’s most likely right; there is no proof his family owned slaves and lord know he ain’t talking about it.  Sometimes, I confuse the defenders of Slave power with the actual members of the slave-owning class

    Uh, moron, how does that make the story wrong.  Mikey and the conservative press complained in 2006 about it and now 5 years later, y’all say there’s nothing wrong with it.

    To rebut, you quote from the story and say I’m wrong because the people were throwing oreos and, presumably, not saying the word and say that that changes the meaning!

    Look, Pablo, I know you love the whole forest for the trees argument, but, even you, serial defender of the far right, cannot honestly say that throwing oreoes and conservative outrage vis a vis saying oreoes and conservative outrage is appreciably different.  Can you be that disingenous?

    Race is brought up all the time because the left brings up race to attack conservatives. Ask Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz and Bill Maher what they think and they will impugn millions of Americans as racist because they disagree with their ideology.

    The right is fed up with the left using race as a weapon.

    Rush however is a provocateur and he knows what he’s doing to get ratings. Any parody he’s making is always going to be of how the left will react- therefore the “obameo” reference was in reference to how the left sees things, not the right. Rush would never knowingly implicate his side in this way- isnt that rather obvious?

    The smart people on both sides see Rush for who he is- an entertainer, shock jock, what have you.

    Its the stupid people who call him racist, and Rush is laughing all the way to the bank.

  • caconservative

    Today, Obimbo announced that his administration is not to going to actively pursue prosecuting and deporting illegal alien parasites, other than illegal alien parasites who’ve committed crimes in this country?!
    What would you call a cookie who puts the wants of illegal alien parasites above the legal citizens of the very country he supposedly represents? Personally, I call that kind of cookie, an SOB sell out!
    This clown president knows his chances at a second term rely on gaining the Latino vote. Even if that means selling out his own Black constituency. Which, apparently, the Black voters are starting to recognize.
    Obimbo is going to bypass Congress and allow the illegal alien parasites working-visas! We have 15-million people out of work, and another 10-million underemployed, and this piece of crap president is more than willing to sell out the Black community, along with the rest of us, in order to gain the Latino vote to try and get a second term in office!!
    I have Emailed all of my representative ordering them to put a halt to this SOB’s plans!! This jerk is exorcising power he does not, nor should he ever have. Please, everyone who believes in the sovereignty of this nation, and the sanctity of legal citizenship, contact you personal Representatives and chew some ass!!

    It is easy for Limburger to hide behind the radio mike and spew hatred and racism. He is a bully and a bigot and if it were another time, such disrespect for the PRESIDENT OF THE US who represents 300 mn people would not be tolerated, not on public airwaves and certainly not in public discourse. But the internet gives cowards voices and LIMBURGER gives them a platform.

  • Anonymous

    I’ll call Rush stupid anytime.  Tapping into white tribal resentments on the radio is not something that requires brains.  Hell, getting through college requires a pinch of brains and lil Rusty wasn’t even able to accomplish that. 

    Maher might offend you gar and jon too, but neither are racists. Limbaugh caters to racists.  Maybe he is one, maybe he isn’t, but he definitely likes to play to the interests of racists (oh, and the real rich people, since, as he noted, he is the defender of corporate America).

    I’ll go ahead and tell my favorite Limbaugh funny story. He’s at a golf outing for NFL types (no word on whether he asked Donovan McNabb to park his car for him or called him “boy,” but I digress) and he starts talking with Michael Irvine, who Rush claims is a nice enough guy who he has spoken with before.  Irvine tells Limbaugh he has someone he wants him to meet and takes him over toward Terrell Owens.  And Irvine tells Limbaugh that no matter the media says about TO, he’s a great guy.  Limbaugh caps the story off by telling the audience “and he was right.  What a great talk we had!”

    I laughed for hours at the prospect of a man convicted of soliciting teenage prostitutes and being a crackhead could be a character reference for another drug-added rich guy.  Pardon the pun, but in Rush’s circles, it’s not who you know, it’s who you do blow with.  So, there you have it, Limabugh thinks Terrell Owens is a great guy.  Reality tends to disagree, but Rush and reality are at best passing strangers.

  • Bay46th

    Actually the point is wecare sick of juvenile name calling. Why must you call the President of the United States a bimbo. At least I know Rush is making a living doing it. But you just blow stuff out you beau ticks. An occasional fact, or interesting point would really be appreciated. But more importantly, a tiny bit of respect would not kill you. Certainly not as likely to kill you as that blind anger.

It is a socially complex matter, where one is judged by “whiteness” and “Otherness,” and causes relation issues with both sides of one’s heritage.

    I don’t know about Stewert or Limbaugh but Maher is a racist.
    “I thought when we elected a black president, we were going to get a black president. You know, this [BP oil spill] is where I want a real black president. I want him in a meeting with the BP CEOs, you know, where he lifts up his shirt where you can see the gun in his pants. That’s — (in black man voice) we’ve got a ‘motherf***ing problem here?’ Shoot somebody in the foot.”  Would you think this person is a racist?
    How about if I told you the originator of the quote above once said “I don’t know, it was just, it was just a crappy week for America. The oil spill making a huge mess. And Arizona deporting all the people who mop up.” Is that racist?
    What if this same someone was sued by an African-American ex-girlfriend for physical and verbal abuse, including making “degrading racial comments?” By now you would have to conclude that the person I’m referring to is clearly a racist. After all, Rush Limbaugh, who played a song parody called “Barack, the Magic Negro,” based on a column by an African-American writer calling Barack Obama a “magic Negro,” is called a racist. Tea Partiers who protest Obama because of his policies are called racist. Surely anyone depicting our first African-American president as a stereotypical  gangsta thug would be called a racist as well.
    However, if you are a liberal, you probably won’t, because the person I’m quoting is Bill Maher.
    BTW Owens might be an egomaniac but I can’t ever remember him being busted or suspended from the league for drugs. Irvine yes and Limbaugh yes for drug use but if everybody who dabbled in drugs got labled like you like to label you might not have too many friends

    A racist slur and schoolyard name based on racist stereotypes wrongly assuming that intelligence, articulateness, dapperness, and manners are traits of whites and not blacks. Therefore, a black who possesses these traits is an oreo, white on the inside and black on the outside. A corollary slur is banana, yellow (Asian) on the outside and white on the inside.

    Question:

    Which carries with it a pathology, “racism,” or “paranoia?”  I believe that in this debate, such is the substantive question. Liberalism, recently, has been using the accusation of racist proclivities as a ‘dull knife,’ in an attempt to make political points.

    However, the pathological  ”paranoia” exhibited by Liberals is an actual illness, hence I can pity your behavior, but, not excuse it.  Liberal-Socialist paranoia, coupled with Leninesque revolutionary tactics make you and your compatriots a very dangerous foe.  

    NOT a fearsome enemy, simply dangerous, as you can be defeated.  Just like a Black Widow Spider in the basement, you and/or your perverse ideology, must be eradicated, and rendered impotent, so to speak.

    That was a pointless comment for you to make.  Why did you even bother making it, so as to “feel good?”  Apparently you, by your own stab at reason, have wounded yourself with “low self esteem?”

    Obama’s not biracial. He’s black. He insists on it. Even on his census form, he chose black over biracial. What’s the rule here, race can only be used to help Obama? Another question: When will you all stop dancing to Limbaugh’s tune?

    Limbaugh is a hack and a bigot..  He is a failed sportscaster and drug addict, who has turned into a right wing monkey for profit.  Limbaugh’s aim is to stir the pot, while spouting his reactionary spew to the adoring haters, bigots and illiterates of this country.   He is an atrocious fat pig..

    i know that the tea baggers have a black guy here and a black guy there but by and large they are a racist group of people and limbaugh, beck, hannity, bachmann, palin and the rest of those scumbags bring in a non-white face and say “you see, we arent racist, thats just the mainstream media portraying us as such” but once that photo-op is done, its back to the same ol’ same ol’…tea baggers generally are old, white men, that have been out of work and listen to these multi-millionaires and listen to them like the gospel and these people (tea baggers) are rooting against their own best interest, not once did i see a left wing radio host have a “klan” party in d.c., during bush’s years, NEVER WAS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY HAILED AS MUCH NEEDED, but of course elect a black guy and its “we need fiscal responsibility” lauded by the same group that left medicare part d, and the 2 wars off the books for years (few trillion right there) only bible thumping, in-bred, tobacco chewing, truck driving, bare-foot, banjo picking red necks will vote for the gop candidate and a few rich guys and the rest of sane america will not

    I don’t think there should be room in our public airwaves for racists like Rush Limbaugh. I think if Rupert Murdoch doesn’t have the backbone to get rid of the guy, we should begin contacting his sponsors and letting them know their products will NOT be in our homes if they continue supporting this racist.

    Contact Rush Limbaugh sponsors.  Racism has no place on public airwaves.

    Let’s not call each other racist all the time, since we obviously all are, in the sense the word defines itself by way of usage, to the point where it becomes completely meaningless. In its bigotry, though, the article completely misses Limbaugh’s actual point (of view): The food industry’s way of sticking it to Michelle Obama and her (do-) good initiatives.

    I alluded to “skin color” and the President, etc., earlier on the scroll.  Obama is 50/50, yet, he is Black?  Is that because of the superiority of the Afro genes, or, because of vestigial racism from within his psyche, or from White America?

    What about a man claiming membership in an American Indian Tribe, who is only 1/8th Indian?  Yet he wears his hair long and dons the accoutrements of an Indian heritage; Why does the Indian gene seemingly dominate?  Or does it?

    Respectfully, please recall that I am a philosopher who tends to ask more questions than I proffer answers.  hence, just something to think about…

    Oh, another Obama-lover gets upset because not everyone worships the mulatto that makes liberal crackers feel good about themselves.  By the way, bigotry is comedy, I listen to the average comedian and I have to put up with jokes against whites, fat people, Republicans, Christians, etc, etc, etc. You think your boy in the White House is so goddamm special? You think he deserves to be treated better than Bush? The hell with that! By the way, have you seen that Planet of the Apes movie? Reminded me of Obama. LOL. Oh, and before you call me a racist, google “Bush monkey.”

    It’s a “Triple Double” Oreo. Do you like Oreos, is that…? Well, what it’s going to be here, it’s actually a biracial cookie. You’ve got three of the chocolate wafers, and then you’ve got the white vanilla cream, and then there’s a chocolate cream. So you’ve got three… The thing is, there’s Oreo on it, the wafer. And then you’ve got the white cream, and you got another chocolate wafer, and then you’ve got the chocolate cream and then you’ve got the bottom wafer. The Triple Double Oreo. You wait, it won’t be long before it’s going to be called the “Obameo” or something like this. Well, it’s a biracial cookie here!

    The really interesting thing, here, is that last line, “Well, it’s a biracial cookie here!”

    Sometimes you can tell that Rush is reacting to the reactions, of his staff, to his incendiary, intentional,”media tweaks”. I’m guessing that Mr. Snerdley had a shocked look on his face. When Limbaugh said this, he was just days away from a one week vacation. In the coming days, Mr. Snerdley suggested that Rush should take two weeks. Who can blame him?

    FYI, Limbaugh’s sweetened Treason-in-a-Bottle Tea contains more sugar than two of those Triple Double Oreos. Something tells me, that we won’t be seeing either one of those products in public school cafeterias. Score one for America’s children.

    you forgot a very important point – so that Rush’s minions are conditioned/brainwashed to vote against their own interests – sad to say whatever side of the isle – most share this in common.]
    Problem is with a lot of these so called conservatives – they are filled with hate and fear – try talking sense and your wasting your time – this is a game for them – they are simply unable to ever admit they are wrong hence why Palin and the others are crowd pleasers – they whip up irrational hysteria based on false premisses and never admit they are wrong even when it is transparently clear. These are the bullies we all went to school with and they never grew up – that takes to much work and self awareness.
