Peggy Joseph is her name, and if you haven’t heard about her… you must live under a rock. Now, admittedly, this is an old story, but for some reason we never covered it.
This is Peggy Joseph, immediately following the Obama rally at the Bank Atlantic Center. Peggy, caught up in the moment, said this:
“It was the most memorable time of my life. It was a touching moment because I never thought this day would ever happen. I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help him, he’s gonna help me.”
…and the grief this poor girl has gotten is amazing to me. *PERSONAL OPINION* She obviously knows that Obama isn’t going to be paying her mortgage, and pumping gas in her car. She obviously is talking about relief for the economy. But yet, the right wing conservative media has sure spun this. I can’t believe that she is all over the Internet, accused of being a mooch. Just google her name…. And Peggy’s pissed.
Alleged: From what my sources have heard, she apparently wanted to sue NBC6. Additionally, Amara allegedly got into some trouble for including the bite(although i don’t get why). But that’s about all I know. Amazing.
I really hate political ramblings like this. Sure the right is using this for propaganda but at the same time, there have been many people, African American and otherwise that are dumb enough to believe that Obama is somehow going to get the gravy train going for them. People that publicly profess this stuff simply strengthens the stigma that other races feel about African Americans and having an African American President. My mom firmly believes that Obama is somehow going to swoop down and make the US into a utopia. We aren’t even African Americans. yet, it’s people like these that set the African American sentiment back a few years.
This video is nothing. I have seen and heard far worse than this during the inauguration. 103.5 the beat did nothing but mock the inauguration that morning. They even went as far as broadcast an audio clip that mocked the national anthem. They aired that clip over and over again. NBC also aired some live interviews with African Americans who took the inauguration as a complete joke. Three ladies during one interview even gave a shout out to their city. BROOOOKKKKKLLLYYYYYNNNN!!!
I’ve been on this earth long enough to know that you can’t trust ANY politician. Not a white one, Hispanic, Asian and yes folks, even an African American. You can only trust the good ones and yet, i have not found one. I don’t even have a job right now. I have been unemployed for months. I should be the first person on the Obama bandwagon. Yet, I’m not as stupid enough to think that Obama is somehow going to create a job for me. Most people in America have no idea what a tough time is.
American politics is nothing but hypocrisy at its best. If Obama gave a damn about this country he would not even bother trying to push Paulson and Dashle into their respective seats. Afterall, they have admitted to not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes. In essence, they have swindled money from the very people they vowed to protect.
Caucasians, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and every other Creed of Americans; Wake up!
I think you mean Geitner and Dashle.
R u kidding? How can anyone think thsi woman believed Obama was going to pay for these things. Don’t you rezlize that she was jyst saying that Obama will help take away the stresses of high gas prices and the housing market collapse??? She was hapy that Obama was brining change, not that he was going to pay her bills and things would be free for her. This video was used by crazy Republicans who decided not to listne to what sonmeone was really saying and, instead, they ran with accusations and propaganda, something they have been very good at for the past right years.
As i said in my post, Yes, there are people that believe this. There are people that believe more stimulus checks are coming too. More people believe that under the Obama administration that social services such as unemployment, food stamps and mortgage bailouts are on their way. The belief also is stronger across racial lines. If you are indeed an NBC producer as your name implies, you would already know this.
Yet only one week into his administration, Obama puts two tax swindlers into positions of handling money and the physical welfare of the country. Way to make a first impression.
This is just another example of hypocritical politics from both sides. If you are a democrat, you should be appalled by these things. Yet, the dems are surprisingly quiet about this. The blind lead the blind.
It’s amazing how 1 person can be elevated as spokesperson for an entire race of people, indeed, an entire country.
Fascinating.

David, that’s right. Paulson is the other idiot Treasury Secretary from the Bush Administration. Another guy who did nothing for the country.
I voted for OBAMA and I have just been forwarding all my bills to the White house I thought that is what we were suppose to do.
Gee, how admirable. She waxes all dumb-ass about how Obama is going to save her bacon, and then (allegedly) threatens a lawsuit. In other words, she wants to get money for NOTHING!
Anyone can file suit over anything, but in order to win and collect money, you have to prove that you’ve been damaged.
If she’s not happy with what she herself said, she has no one but herself to blame. You can’t fix stupid

That’s exactly it. I simply can’t understand how people can give permission to be on camera, run their mouths like this and expect to somehow be shielded from the backlash. Same goes for Joe the plumber.
If there is anyone that has a suit on their hands it could be NBC if they indeed reprimanded Amara for airing this. Do they not have their own set of guys that give the thumbs up or down on stories they want to air?
Reading this crap tells me why Rush Limbaugh has an audience.
Obama is also secretly muslim it has been exposed!
Soon we’ll be One nation under Allah and he’ll take my foreskin and who knows what else…
Ya’ll better prepare accordingly WTVJ won’t save us they are the MSM after all
With all due respect. Anyone that thinks Obama or any other politician is Muslim or even religious for that matter is dumber than this lady in the video. Almost all of the politicians that go to any kind of Religious service do it just to sway voters of faith.
You’re on crack, right? You know he’s being sarcastic… Sheash.
yup, so are most of my comments. 🙂
None of them are really directed towards anyone here.
