I apologize if this has been posted already -

As Obama reminisced about his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who died shortly before Obama was elected president in 2008, the tweet appeared on KitchenAid's official Twitter account, @KitchenAidUSA: "Obamas gma even knew it was going 2 b bad! 'She died 3 days b4 he became president!"

The outrage was almost immediate, with angry Twitter users threatening to boycott the Benton Harbor, Mich., company.

The appliance maker, which is owned by Whirlpool Corp., quickly deleted the tweet. Cynthia Soledad, a KitchenAid marketing executive, issued a series of apologies via Twitter and Facebook.

"I would like to personally apologize to President @BarackObama, his family and everyone on Twitter for the offensive tweet sent earlier," she wrote. "It was carelessly sent in error by a member of our Twitter team who, needless to say, won't be tweeting for us anymore."

Soledad said in a separate statement that the employee meant to post the tweet on a personal account but mistakenly sent it instead through the corporate account. She referred to the tweet as a "tasteless joke."

Tasteless joke? When did the death of a loved one become a joke, especially when it was about the woman who raised the President of the United States?

If anyone tweeted something like that in my name, they would be out the door.

Oh my.

When did the death of a loved one become a joke, especially when it was about the woman who raised the President of the United States?

The death--fortunately, thank you, God--hasn't occurred yet, but she was dangerously ill for a long time.

I'm referring of course to the wonderful Barbara Bush, and all the filth and Hate the primitives threw her direction.

Almost 4 years later and the DUmmie still has her panties in  a wad over this?  Give it a rest and wash those stanky , wadded up panties.  Apologies were made.

this coming from a site that championed the sickness of Laura Ingraham? And chastized Elizabeth Edwards when she defended her?

DUmmy, when Barbara Bush dies, I can guar-an-damn-tee your side will be dancing in the aisles.

Win or lose, same when Paul Ryan's mom dies.

For both dear ladies, like Frank, I hope it isn't for a VERY long time.

First, both 0bama's mother and grandmother got all the health care that was asked. Insurance held back nothing, NOTHING. So he lied about that.

Second, Obama could not be bothered to visit either his mother or grandmother before they died because he was too busy promoting a book and campaigning. So the man has next to zero loyalty or moral authority to bring them up.

Third, Kitchen Aide (Maytag) is an American company so you are supporting off-shoring jobs by not buying.

Fourth, YOU ARE DUche!

That's right. She raised a shameless skank, but we don't know whether she herself was a skank. Seems likely, but we don't really know.

And she did do a good turn by taking in her slutty daughter's mixed-race kid.

The other night, I heard one of those TV cooks say a good mixer is "a kitchen essential".

I have my own ideas about Kitchen Essentials...

[RobJohnson]

Almost every cooking thread the the DUmp brags about owning a KA mixer...buy American creed.
