You know "batboy returns to bite mother..."( that "National Enquirer")
I find this incredibly hard to believe; because: If you buy something "in good faith" you are not liable for the manufacturers misdeeds...
I mean if you go looking for an ivory tusk that logic doesn't wash; but (?) She bought an off the shelf item; not a custom.edit on 16-9-2011 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)edit on 16-9-2011 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)
Can we get this straight once and for all? Batboy is NOT a creation of the National Enquirer. He is the creation Weekly World News (weeklyworldnews.com...). They are the ones that print outlandish stories and kick-ass pictures.
But seriously, please stop blaming the NE for Batboy. The NE has actually broken a lot of stories that turned out to be true. Yes, most is rubbish and lies, but not all. And they have never done a story on Batboy

But there's no racism in America

Whoa there buddy! The piece you quoted says that the person who is critical of the president or first lady is accused of racism...they are ones who run not the other way around.
And by run he means they back off their critical statements, this was not an attack on African Americans at all.
While you are right racism is still alive and well, I think he was addressing the fact that politicians all to often use that charge to silence opposing views, this is commonly referred to as the "pulling race card".

Likely. And likely you'll see that charge made here first.
Plus, there's the true stories of how obama's aunt and uncle - both illegal aliens - have escaped deportation.

Yeah! They sure were wrong on the John Edwards affair!
A Gibson Original, From the Hands of Legends, to Your Hands
It all starts with the wood, and the Hummingbird’s marriage of classic tonewoods sets it in line as a world-class flat-top right from the word go. A select solid AAA-grade Sitka spruce top contributes all the tonal sweetness and splendor for which that legendary timber is famous, while solid mahogany back and sides enhance the guitar’s overall depth and richness, contributing big, bold lows in the process. A belly-up rosewood bridge with Tusq saddle at one end and a bone nut at the other provide the optimum vibrational coupling between strings and tonewood; while a set of nickel Grover Rotomatic tuners help to ensure tuning efficiency and accuracy. And when you want to take it all to the stage, you can access this Hummingbird’s secret weapon – an onboard L.R. Baggs Element Active acoustic pickup system – simply by plugging into the endpin jack.
The Hummingbird’s playability is outstanding, thanks to a rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges for an extremely comfortable in-the-hand feel. Naturally, it all looks just as sweet as it sounds and plays. Hand-sprayed in a nitrocellulose Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, the Hummingbird sports a double-ring, multi-ply soundhole rosette; distinctive mother-of-pearl split-parallelogram fingerboard inlays; multi-ply body top and back binding; and the iconic engraved, multi-point Hummingbird pickguard. Couched in a plush blue-lined Gibson hardshell case, accompanied by full Owners Manual and adjustment literature, and backed by Gibson’s Gold Warranty, your Hummingbird is covered for all the road’s eventualities and ready to help make you a legend.

Your source the (National Enquirer) is not known for telling the truth.....but they are well known for many falsehoods... with just a small bit of truth mixed in....then they make up their fiction.
So....let's say this story may be true....why would Mrs. Obama get in trouble.....when she legally bought the guitar in good faith...she did not know the materials the guitar is made out of...are suspect.
To me...this hole story is ridiculous and I don't think the way this story is being told ...is the truth.
I know the Obama's have many people against them....and anything they can do to discredit them....they will surely do.
