TV's Favorite Black Small Business Owners

Barack Obama goofed in a speech today when he made a Sanford and Son joke saying "I'm coming to join you Weezie!" Of course, "Weezie" was the wife of George Jefferson whereas Fred Sanfords dead wife was named Elizabeth. But a reader of Instapundit raised the better point:

"Didn't Obama realize Fred Sanford & George Jefferson are both Small Business Owners?"

An excellent point! The Sanfords were living hand to mouth. A tax hike would have really been reason to clutch your chest in that household. Meanwhile, George Jefferson ran a small chain of dry cleaners. Under an Obama presidency one shouldn't expect a George to be opening up a new store anytime soon. In fact, a few stores may have to close and some employees sent packing.
