Don’t Mess With President Obama



0506A_A10SANFORD

I can’t believe these folks published this mess. First of all it is rude and your intent was filled with malice. Secondly, Esther and Fred were not a couple and they depicted arguments. What ya’ll think about this mess?

Phillip Sciarello, publisher and part owner of the Smithtown Messenger on Long Island, defended the decision to publish the photo, but added the newspaper would run a retraction in its next edition for anyone who might have been offended. There isn’t a need to retract it. You expressed your racism and disrespect.

The photo spread features “before and after” shots of the last six presidents and their wives, starting with Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter and ending with the Obamas. The “after” photo of the Obamas is a shot from the 1970s show, with Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford and LaWanda Page as Sanford’s sister-in-law, Aunt Esther. She is seen standing ready to box Sanford. The characters often verbally jousted as part of the show’s story line.

The “after” photos of the other presidents feature their images as slightly older than when they took office.  It is no way they could have made a mistake so there isn’t a need to say I’m sorry because you know what you were intentions were and it wasn’t poor satire. –Courtney L.

    a shame. when will it end? oh that’s right, never. people still cannot get over the fact that he is president. it is what it is, they need to let it go. obviously they have never watched sanford and son and took the only picture of a older black man and woman they could find.

    It is a shame that people can’t let it go. The sad part about it is that they call themselves a Christian….Sad……But guess what he is still our president……. He still sleeps without hate in his heart.- Courtney L.
