    Nahh, the ultimate street would be a pit bull/rottweiler mix. Having worked 13 years in a neighborhood where “street cred” mattered, I think Foxx is out of the loop.

    Actually, pit bulls are really good dogs, if they are brought up correctly. However, I don’t think Jamie Foxx is thinking about a sweetheart dog, but an attack dog.

    Just goes to show that Jamie Foxx doesn’t understand that the presidency is not “street.”

    Jamie Foxx no doubt has all kinds of good advise for BO.

    The New York Daily News wrote:

    Jamie Foxx is breaking down racial barriers – starting at his front door.

    The actor, who has been campaigning tirelessly to get reformed gang leader Stan (Tookie) Williams off Death Row, admits he once refused to let more than one white man into his house.

    “When I was 15, I went to play the piano for this white guy’s Christmas party” in Texas, Foxx says. But when he and a friend showed up at the client’s mansion, the host stopped them, saying, “I can’t have two n- in my house at one time.”

    Foxx says he was forced to send his friend home, even though his pal had given him a lift to the party.

    The “Ray” star was so rankled by the experience that, once he hit it big in Hollywood, he instituted a similar quota system.

    Whenever two white guys came to party at his pad, Foxx tells Oprah Winfrey in December’s O, he’d tell them, “You all will have to make a decision between you two.”

    Foxx adds that his friends “had to counsel me and say, ‘Don’t fall into that same trap.’ ”

    The Oscar winner later changed his entrance policy – though, he points out, he never set a limit on white women.

    For the Obama’s to have an obedient little lap dog would simply be redundant – since they already have enough of those type of companions in the press…

    I like where Jamie Foxx is going with this. Pitbull chained to the North Portico columns, maybe even a busted couch under the overhang the dog can sleep on and a rusty old barbeque grill for good measure.

    Michelle could fix something on the grill for the Bill and Hillary on Saturday nights. Good times…

    Ha-ha-ha…You should see where he grew up. Down the elevator in the nice condo. Across the street and then past a huge green lawn with big beautiful trees belonging to the historical church, on down the tree-lined street past the hospital, then two short (tree-lined) blocks to the most expensive private school in Hawaii. I think a French Poodle might be street there.

    Erich Fromm had it right: fascism has its roots in psychological weakness. You can’t punch the one who just punched you because he’s more powerful, so you turn around and punch someone else less powerful than you.

    The healthy thing for J. Foxx to do? Go back to the ORIGINAL GUY and PUNCH HIM. Don’t go running around attacking everyone who’s white, it makes you a jack-booted thug and a jack*ss.

    Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. Do you think a conservative would get a pass with that comment? That is where I have a problem.

    I don’t know what Obama did during his campaign that makes anyone think hes going to keep anything street. That is one of he great myths of this campaign. Many of my friends thought that Obama grew up on the mean streets. It would cost me $16,000 a year to send my son to the same high school he attended. Thats a hard life!

    He’s not a “black thug.” He’s an award winning actor/comedian (by trade, and through recognition. I don’t happen to find him funny, but that doesn’t lessen the mind blowing ignorance displayed your comment). BTW, I think what he said was supposed to be funny, instead of deconstructed. (Yeah, I know it didn’t succeed. But Derrida, you guys certainly are not.)

    Somehow, I don’t think Mr. Arugula and Mrs. Princeton are going to let their Sidwell Friends schoolgirls

    Sigh. Every single person I know who grew up in D.C. went to Sidwell. BFD. It happens. And it’s really not that big of a deal.

    And for the googol time — ARUGULA IS A COMMON VEGETABLE YOU CAN BUY IN THE GROCERY STORE. I guarantee you that MM and Bush have eaten — and enjoyed — plenty of it.

    Also, Jamie Foxx (I’m guessing we all know this) is an idiot. I’m not sure why Ray was hailed as such an amazing movie, because I thought it was so formulaic that it verged on tragedy. My point is: Focus your energies on something more productive. No WONDER you guys keep lose power. You’re focused on b.s.

    Oh, so we’re never supposed to deconstruct anyone’s attempts at humor? Remember that next time a conservative is getting flack for making an innocent remark that he had no intention of submitting to critical analysis.

    No matter what Jamie Foxx meant to say, there are layers of meaning present in his statement that run counter to what the meaning he intended to convey (No one is in complete control of the language they use… right, nyk?), so there is nothing wrong with deconstructing his latest offering. Doing so is, according to Critchley, inherently ethical.

    So stop telling people to be unethical.

    Maybe Foxx thinks they should also change the dress code at the White House so that staff can wear pants that have that hand-me-down look that are 9 sizes too big and hang down below their underwear?

    If they’re gonna go “Street”… might as well bring it all the way into the gutter.
