Obama Chastises Bernie Mac At Fundraiser









I'm in Barack Obama overload this weekend. Yesterday presumed Democratic nominee Barack Obama had comedian Bernie Mac open for him at a fundraiser in Chicago last night. According to the Chicago Sun Times Bernie ended his routine with the following:
Mac ended his irreverent riff with a joke involving the women in the families and living with two "hos."

Obama came on, gave his speech and closed with the following statement:

"That means, by the way, Bernie, you got to clean up your act. This is a family affair. . . . I'm just messing with you, man."

Barack, you just can't have it both ways. Everyone knows that Bernie Mac uses profanity in his routine. Why would you even have him perform at a fundraiser when you know that the content may be inappropriate for families. Definitely not a good move.
