Someone Tell Geoff Davis That You Don’t Refer To A Black Man As “Boy.”

Republican Congressman Geoff Davis stepped in it Saturday night when he said the following in reference to Barack Obama,

“He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a “highly classified, national security simulation” with Obama.

“I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” Davis said. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

Of course, since Obama isn’t even qualified to be President, I’m not surprised that BO bombed in a national security simulation. Moreover, Obama certainly isn’t competent enough to have his finger on the button.

However, the moment David used the word “boy,” everything else he said became secondary to the Left’s complaining and kvetching that he offended them.

Happily, Davis at least offered an almost immediate and sincere sounding apology for any offense he may have caused.

Still, anyone savvy enough to get elected to Congress should know that you don’t call a black man “boy.” That’s why it was very foolish for Davis to give the Left a club like that to beat him with in the first place.
