Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

THE LAST WORD, August, 20, 2011--“BLACK MAN GIVEN NATION’S WORST JOB”—Headline in “The Onion”, January 21, 2008.

From THE ONION:

“In his new high stress low reward position, Obama will be charged with completely overhauling the nation’s broken down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. The black man will spend four to eight years cleaning up opther people’s messes they left behind.”

Rich, I had never heard of Onion until this interview of Dr. Harris...and so glad you did this post, because right now Americanews HQ@FNC has a black female anchor(maybe a counter for Dr.Harris) doing someting absolutly unexpected from FOX...She is doing a segment on fact checking Perry and Bachmann's statements. (otfl) ...

Can anyone top this unless Onion, SNL takes it on.LOL !!! (smile)

There is nothing I love better than learning someting brand new especially if it brings joy, because I did so love that young man's sense of humor...he did remind me of Colbert as Colbert always seem so innocent and so surprised when someone tells him something then comes up with the perfect joke to suit in with his reply. lol (smile)
