FlyingJ 0 #1 February 21, 2010 I have numerous Facebook friends all up in arms about the report that President Obama called the African American speed skater Shani Davis following his win but hasn't called anyone else. Anyone know if he's made a practice of calling all of the medal winners as I believe some other presidents have? I really don't care one way or another, but it made me curious and I didn't see anything about it on the web.Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, look a little closer: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&newwindow=1&as_q=obama+olympic+shani+davis&as_epq=&as_oq=phone+telephone&as_eq=&num=100&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=off Apparently, Obama called him in 2006 - 2 years before he was elected president - to encourage him to stick with it in the face of some challenges. Not surprising, however, that this would get twisted in the blogosphere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a black thing, you wouldn't understand Yes, Obama is for the bruthas and da sistas Oh wait, one more idiotic assertion before I close: Obama was only elected because of the black turnout in Nov 08 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhaig 0 #6 February 21, 2010 Quote Oh wait, one more idiotic assertion before I close: Obama was only elected because of the black turnout in Nov 08 it would be foolish to think that it didn't play a part in his win. Impossible to really say how large, but I'm sure the next 14 pages of posts will try to prove that and argue about one way or another.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
