When President Obama released his birth certificate on Wednesday morning, he remarked: “We’re not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers.”
In the process, Obama ended up starting a new controversy — with America’s carnival barkers
According to the Huffington Post:
Many in the carnival community were not amused by the mention of their industry.
The editor of Carnival Warehouse.com, a website dealing with the industry, thought the president should be more sensitive about singling out groups when making disparaging comments.
“I think what Obama said is the same type of stereotype that has been placed on African Americans.”
“You wouldn’t expect those comments from someone who is a minority and has faced prejudice.”
