Perhaps trying to capitalize on President
Barack Obama's popularity, a German frozen food company has come out with a product called 'Obama Fingers.'
The package describes the
fried chicken fingers as "tender, juicy pieces of chicken breast, coated and fried." A company sales manager says "American products and the American way of eating are trendy at the moment."
Needless to say, the chicken now in German freezers, is causing quite a
bit of furor. NY Councilman
Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn) says "it's racist and inappropriate."
So, how long before see the President as a person rather than a race?
