Slip-Of-The-Lip!! CNN News Host Rick Sanchez Refers To President Obama As ''The Cotton Picking President'' Live On Air



VIDEO INSIDE


Oops! During a discussion with CNN cohort Jessica Yellin regarding recent controversies surrounding President Obama and his religious faith, Rick Sanchez used an old fashioned (and some might add racist) phrase that he immediately regretted, exasperating “he’s the cotton picking President!”

Shortly after he made that comment CNN went to commercial, and immediately upon coming back from the break Sanchez offered a thoughtful apology and clarification regarding his very poor choice of words.

According to Phrase Finder, “the term ‘cotton-picking’ originated in the southern states of the USA, where it is usually pronounced cotton-pickin’” Newsweek Senior Editor Julia Reed came under criticism for making a similar comment while guesting on CNN’s AC 360 when she said that President Obama was “out of his cotton picking mind.” mediaite.com

That was just a Old Term he said..... What's the big deal????? oooooooh because the president is black right????
People should stop with the color issue, would some black people get offended if another black person said obama is a n****? I mean come on!!! Racism is still alive because you keep it in existance. If you really think about it. Like the word " N**** or N***** " White people called other white people n*****, mexicans call other mexicans n*****, black people call black people n*****. Stop living in the past and look toward the future.That's like walking forward and looking backwards, what's going to happen????? You gonna run into something because you're not looking where you're going.
