Business and Media Institute: "If Sen. McCain is elected, we'll have another president who wants to privatize part of your Social Security. That ain't right. Can you imagine if you had your Social Security invested in the stock market these last two weeks? These last two months? You wouldn't need Social Security. You'd be having a – you know like, what was it. 'Sanford and Son,' 'I'm coming Weezie.' It ain't right." But, Obama blew it in his attempt to be '70s hip. "Weezie" or Louise Jefferson, was a character on "The Jeffersons," a show about a middle-class black family. Actress Isabel Sanford portrayed her.
Obama mangled the line that Fred used when he was faking a heart attack, supposedly addressing his dead wife, Elizabeth.
Fred Sanford: Ow my heart. I think I'm having a heart attack. You hear that Elizabeth I'm coming to join you honey. Your dummy son has made me a wooden overcoat. Oh, Elizabeth.
But let's remember, Fred was a lovable rascal, and a bit of a con man. He was faking it to get what he wanted. Not an unreasonable hero for most Democrats.
Weezie (Louise) was the voice of reason in the "Jeffersons". Always telling George to the right thing and to avoid cutting corners. She was skeptical of George's scheming plans. I'm not sure she would fit in among the Obama campaign staff.
