Was President Obama Caught on Old Tape Demanding ‘Ribs and Pussy?’

by J.D. Durkin | 12:36 pm, October 9th, 2016

Amid the revelation that Republican party nominee Donald Trump was caught on leaked audio discussing grabbing packs of Tic Tacs and some other unmentionables that certainly don’t belong to him, many of his supporters in the Twitterverse and elsewhere have been quick to try to deflect attention elsewhere. But now, in response, a video has reemerged from 1995 of a then-young Barack Obama on tape saying the sentence, “Gotta have them ribs. And pussy too.”

-snip-

It is however, from a book that Obama is reading, and certainly not a wild claim by the man that he enjoys BBQ and felines in his spare time. The text he is reading is from his own popular Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, and the clip in question comes from a scene where he is discussing the belief structure of Malcolm X with someone.

One of the guys sitting nearby must have overheard us because he leaned over with a sagacious expression on his face.

“You guys talking about Malcolm? Malcolm tells it like it is. No doubt about it.”

“Yeah,” another guy said. “But I’ll tell you what. You won’t moving to no African jungle anytime soon. Or some goddamn desert somewhere sitting on a carpet. With a bunch of Arabs. No sir. You won’t stop me eating no ribs, either. Gotta have them ribs. And pussy too. Don’t Malcolm talk about no pussy. Now you know that ain’t gonna work.”
