The German frozen food company Sprehe is offering a new product called "Obama Fingers," which the packaging describes as "tender, juicy pieces of chicken breast, coated and fried," the German news magazine Der Spiegel reports.

The magazine quotes Judith Witting, a sales manager for the company, as saying Sprehe decided to offer the product after noting that "American products and the American way of eating are trendy at the moment."

"Americans are more relaxed," Witting explained. "Not like us stiff Germans, like (Chancellor Angela) Merkel."

I’d like an order of Obama Fingers, with a side of Freedom Fries and a Diet Mr. Biden.

OMG-I was wondering when someone was going to yell racism over this, and lo and behold if I don’t go to AOL home page and there is a story about blackvoices.com tying THIS into racism. Gravy!

German people don’t even know what RACISM is, idiots. They have a much higher caliber of intelligence there. In fact, one black exchange student I know, wanted to know what an “Afro American” was, when they first came here. I corrected the pronunciation and tried to explain. It was lost on them though.

MAYBE….this is their way of giving him the finger. After all, didn’t they laugh at the stimulus plan and say we were a bunch of idiots for spending trillions to get out of debt? And try as he might,old Geithner couldn’t convince them.lmao

Why would they discriminate with white meat only? I would have thought it would be mixed.

I thought this was going to be like Foosackleys-when they offered Boeing the finger. We have enough toxic mess with this administration without subjecting ourselves to food poisoning too.
