He said: &#8220;Any discussion of Obama\u2019s &#8216;skinniness\u2019 and its impact on the typical American voter can\u2019t avoid being interpreted as a coded discussion of race.&#8221; It\u2019s a racial attack, my friends! Noah continued: &#8220;When white people are invited to think about Obama\u2019s physical appearance, the principal attribute they\u2019re likely to dwell on, is his dark skin. Consequently, any reference to Obama\u2019s other physical attributes can\u2019t help coming off as a coy walk around the barn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In his own coy walk around the barn, Timothy Noah must have found a jackassand traded brains with it. What is offensive is this liberal twit\u2019s assumption that all white people suffer the same racial paranoia that he\u2019s infected with! It\u2019s not offensive to simply notice that Lord Barack Obama is skinny&#8230;and, by the way, Noah, you forgothis big ears! <\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: The Skinny!
