1995 Barack Obama: Mean, Cruel Times, Christian Right - Narrow Minded

Although this sort of talk is becoming a theme for Michelle-O she wasn?t the first Obama to call America mean. A similar sentiment was echoed by Barack Obama in 1995 as he tried to rally the African-American vote for his Senate run after the Million Man March.
