"Towards the end of the 2008 campaign, the republican party, terrified at their own sinking poll numbers, attempted to link" "Barack Obama to radical leftist figures to make him appear" "UN-American." "First was the controversial reverend Jeremiah Wright." "I say mother [Bleep] America!" "[Bleep] America's mother!" "[Bleep] America's daddy!" "America can eat a dick!" "America can lick the balls!" "When that failed, Republicans tried linking Obama with 10-year-old domestic terrorist Huey Freeman after discovering the two were MySpace friends." "Did they leave each other glitter comments?" "The public has a right to know." "Okay, this is a little boy who thinks that Jesus is black," "Ronald Reagan is the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11." "Kids like this need to be on America's [Bleep] List, not our friend list." "Obama did his best to downplay the relationship." "Look, I have many, many friends on MySpace." "I-I pretty much add anybody." "I don't know who this Huey Freeman is, but he doesn't stand for what I stand for, and I denounce, I repudiate, and condemn him." "Basically [Bleep] Him."

"The first thing I notice about Huey is his incredibly large hair." "The second thing I notice is his permanent scowl." "How does it feel to be labeled a domestic terrorist?" "Eh, I'm retired." "So, then, now that it looks like Obama is going to win, as a black African-American Negro, are you merely excited, or are you extremely excited that everything is going to change forever?" "Eh." "I felt my sphincter clinch and my scrotum contract in shock at his response." "I swear that boy just likes to be miserable." "He can't enjoy nothing." "All he wanna talk about is the build-a-bear group, the federal reserve, and all that bull [Bleep]" "I don't know where he get that from." "He didn't get it from me." "I believe in hope and change." "Nobody knows exactly how old Robert Freeman is, not even" "Robert Freeman himself, but his age is estimated somewhere between 80 and 120 years old." "This is what me and my generation -- but mostly me -- struggled for, sacrificed for -- you can say personally, individually, paved the way for." "The dogs were after us, so I took off my belt and started whipping on the dogs." "Then I started running." "Then I looked behind me." "Jesse Jackson was supposed to be there, but he had jumped into a dumpster, hiding." "That punk ass." "I find it difficult to determine whether Robert is a pathological liar or suffering the early stages of dementia." "So, if the election is fake, then what's really going on?" "The end of America." "I felt despair so terrible, I briefly considered slitting my own wrists or bludgeoning myself about the head with a steel pipe or baseball bat, but I brought no blade, no pipe, no bat." "Describe Riley Freeman in one word." "Mm, I'd say "real nigga."" ""Real nigga" is two words." "I know it's two words, nigga!" "Real niggas don't follow instructions." "This is Robert Freeman's other grandson, Riley." "He's empowered by the prospect of a black president, not in the way society would hope or expect." "Oh, if my nigga Obama gets up in there, wssh, I'ma act a fool!" "I ain't doing no more homework, nothin'." "We taking over." "Come on, what's a cop gonna do to me?" "I'ma be like, "don't make me call the president, bitch!"" "And the cop's -- he gonna be like, "oh, snap, Riley, a real nigga -- the president's a real nigga." ""We can't do nothing!""

"Where's he from " " Africa?" "His dad was African, yes." "You can't be serious, man." "There ain't no nigga running for president named barack Obama." "No [Bleep] Way, man." "No [Bleep] Way!" "I don't believe you." "Stop [Bleep] With me." "If he wins, I think it will literally be the best day of my life." "Tom and Sarah Dubois are also neighbors of the Freemans." "They both work on the Obama campaign." "Barack has..." "Already changed our lives in so many ways." "How?" "Well, I mean, it's no secret that me and Tom have had some problems in the past with our relationship..." "Well, it's not like the whole world knew." "...But I think ever since we started working together for barack..." "Things are totally different now." "Much better, and it's all thanks to barack." "He is such a wonderful, wonderful man." "I just think it's about time we had a president who was smart and tall and charming and strong and fit." "Just like your hubby?" "This isn't about you, sweetie." "It is always obvious when a couple hasn't engaged in normal marital relations for some time." "Obama, of course, is as polarizing as he is transformative." "Some have accused Obama of being a socialist." "Others believe that he's a Muslim." "Some have gone as far as to label him the anti-Christ." "He is the socialist Muslim anti-Christ!" "This is Uncle ruckus." "He's an Uncle Tom, perhaps the biggest Uncle Tom to have ever lived." "If this nigga gets elected, America is over -- over!"

"Oh, no, I knew who the nigga was " " I was just joking." "You were not joking." "You jumped on the Obama celebrity bandwagon because it will give you much needed exposure." "No, see, it ain't got nothing to do with that." "You know what I'm saying?" "I started looking into his political positions and his -- and his -- and his policies and views and whatnot." "What policies?" "Well, you know, I heard the nigga speak, right, and how he was talking about changing some Or hoping for some" "And I thought, yeah, I mean, you know, all the nigga's asking for is hope." "You can sit on your ass all day and hope." "If you're too lazy to hope, you is a lazy [Bleep]" "That's all I know." "I'm voting for Obama because he's gonna lower my taxes." "Actually, he has promised to raise taxes at your income level." "Huh?" "And he's just really, really fit..." "To lead -- and, also, body fit, too." "Well, I also support Obama because he's against corporate bailouts." "That is also not true." "Huh?" "I'm supporting Obama because..." "He black."

"Tom, I'm trying to watch this." "Mnh." "Yo, yo, yo, yo." "I heard the presidential limo is gonna be, like, a crazy, pimped-out Cadillac now, with rims and, like, machine guns and lasers." "Excuse me!" "I'd like to propose a toast." "Now, I'd just like to say that today is a very special day for me." "I hope you all are enjoying the cheese, wine, and freedom I have struggled so hard to provide tonight." "And because of my pain and suffering, the black struggle is officially over." "No longer can they keep us down." "No longer can we be silenced This is it!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "And now we have the returns from the West coast coming in here." "Okay."

"Uh, and when people always ask me if I want a medal or a monument or a statue in my honor, I say, "no, mnh-mnh." "Mnh-mnh." "All I want to do is be there, in person, on that glorious day, when the first black president "take the oath."" "I just want to stand in the crowd, somewhere in the front, maybe in the VIP section, maybe next to Beyoncé." "Are you aware that some people are paying as much as" "$50,000 for VIP inauguration tickets?" "Well, I don't think you can put a price on decades of struggle." "Did you contribute any money at all to the Obama campaign?" "I paid 10 bucks for this t-shirt." "Did you get that from the campaign website?" "No, I got it from the guy at the car wash, but it's still free advertising when a lot of people have seen me in this shirt." "I mean, before we change the world, we got to change ourselves first." "I mean, this is the new colorless, flavorless, and unscented era." "Like, from now on, I'm calling all my niggas "Obamas," and all my bitches I'm calling "Michelles."" "I mean, think about it."

"Go, granddad!" "The American press struggles to comprehend the incident." "To them, Huey is like a calf that refuses its mother's udder, choosing instead to drink the bitter waters of its own making." "Here is the danger of too much hope -- skeptics are treated like blasphemers, and indifference becomes equal to hate." "Robert Freeman calls a press conference to do damage control." "Huey Freeman is not really my grandson." "I refute, renounce, and rebuke him." "I hope this incident in no way affects my request for VIP inaugural tickets and/or the inaugural ball with Beyoncé." "Rosa parks is no longer with us, but I consider myself to be the next best thing -- in many ways, better." "Where is your wife?" "She's in, uh, D.C." "There was a problem or something with the tickets, so we only had one, and I let her have it." "Are you afraid your wife will have lusty sex with barack Obama?" "What?" "No!" "No, that's impossible." "I didn't ask if it was possible, only if you were afraid." "I can't help but notice you are like a less attractive, less wealthy, less powerful version of him." "It is quite understandable for you to be concerned." "Celebrities, dignitaries, and civil rights legends are arriving in droves for the inauguration of barack Obama." "Anyone hoping to get tickets at this point, don't bother." "The ship has sailed, and you are not on it because you are not important." "Hey, granddad, this was at the door." ""Office of the president-elect"?" "Mr. Freeman, please find enclosed two VIP tickets to the inauguration, as well as the inaugural ball with Beyoncé, as a small token of gratitude for all the sacrifices you've made on behalf of me and this great country." "I look forward to sharing this historic day with you." "Sincerely, president-elect barack Obama." "What's going on?" "I'm going to the inauguration." "You want to come?" "Yeah, boy!" "And just like that, virtually foaming at the mouth with unbridled excitement, Robert and Riley leave for the inauguration." "You are looking at the final mission of a domestic terrorist, operation exodus." "Convinced he has no place in Obama's America, Huey Freeman decides to leave the country for good, and he has an unlikely companion." "I was gonna go to the inauguration and try to crown" "Obama with a brick, but who am I fooling?" "My arm just ain't what it used to be." "Plus, that greasy nigga is really fast." "And knowing these liberal activist judges, they might actually try and put me in jail for it." "No, I think " " I think it's time for me to leave this great country." "Oh, I can't bear to see it run by an African Muslim communist anti-Christ." "I just can't!" "It's just like when Nicole brown Simpson married that nigga o.J. Back on February 2, 1985." "Oh, I knew it was gonna end badly." "I told 'em." "I told 'em all!" "But nobody wanted to listen to old Uncle ruckus then, neither." "I want to go someplace I'll fit in, like Norway or Ireland." "What about the Ivory Coast?" "Absolutely no Africa!" "No way!" "All them countries got nigga presidents, which defeats the whole purpose of leaving this country." "How do you feel being teamed up with your archenemy?" "First of all, we're not a team." "Second of all, we're not a team." "I've got gas money." "He's got the license." "We're just gonna drive to Canada and then go our separate ways." "You see, bill, I consider myself a black leader now, and that means helping Obama and doing anything he asks." "Oh, yes, I can hear your concern for the state of the world in that song you did about stomping people in the nuts." "Oh, that was the old me." "Everything is different now." "I'm much, much, much more politically aware and stuff." "Really?" "Well, name the three branches of government, then." "The what?" "Come on, black leader." "It's fourth-grade social-studies time." "What are the three branches of government?" "Uh, let's see." "They got the main branch." "Uh... if you're a black leader, I'm glad I'm a white man." "What a moron!"
