Has anyone in the press been saying that this is his “Sista Soulja” moment?

They used the term for the last several election cycles. It would be interesting to see if they shun this word since Obama is black.

Saving my seat ...

My fellow Identity-Americans:
As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for their ... well, support.
Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor’s relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.

I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush’s youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.

I would also like to thank the Kennedy’s for coming out in support of me. There’s a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a female employee he was having an extra marital affair with who was pregnant with his child. And I’m not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.

And I’d like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.
Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.

I say things that sound meaningful, but don’t really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.

Americans are tired of thinking. It’s time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart. So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don’t think, just do.

And do it for me.
Thank You.

I look forward to reading his speech along side the speech Mitt Romney gave about his faith. I wasn't the biggest Romney fan but I found his speech to be forthright. I suspect that Obama’s speech will be vague and calculating.

Have him explain this:

How is it he took his children to hear such hate - all of their young lives - if he himselve didn’t share the same views? That had to be the message he wanted them to hear because that was his choice.

Oh here we go again... more of “the dog ate my homework” and “I didn’t inhale”. The difference is that today (as opposed to months ago), people will actually analyse and think about what The Empty Suit is saying and not just fawn over the presentation.

Hope he didn’t let Jeremiah Wright compose the speech for him.

George Bush, it's all his fault.

(cheers, applause, amens)

This administration would not have these issues if we did not bomb Japan.

(cheers, applause, amens)

We are spending too much money on his war for oil because his chicken came home to roost.

(cheers, applause, amens)

And this city, (uh, where am I) Philthadelphia, Ohio, will be chocolate in November.

(cheers, applause, amens)

Is he going to have an audience?
Are the Republicans asking for equal time?

I think conservatives have missed the butt kicking that the Clintons gave them for eight years. Now get ready for the Clintons butt kicking again, enjoy.

Look for the media to give him a pass after this speech, saying it has “been addressed by Obama”. Out of fear, the Drive Bys will no longer speak about Obama’s racist America-blasting church.

None of this matters. Obama is finished in this Presidential cycle.

The UnRev. Wright Affair, with his 9/11 is our fault, white people are bad and G-D America attacks do two ireperable things.

1: They scare the Soccer Mons and the other 20% ANY candidate needs to win the General/

2: After watching Wright, Obama’s speech making seems very ho-hum by comparison.

Like many candidates in the Dem primaries over the years, what propels them in the primary fatally gores them in the General.

Maybe he’ll say he wants his 20K back from the church, he’s divorcing Mrs. Bitterness and has decided to embrace the “white” side of his heritage, in honor of his mother and his grandparents.
Doubtful.

We’ll probably get a concentrated dose of the platitudes complete with a large side of super-swooning Obamabots in the periphery.

I’m not sure this speech is even worth popcorn.

This didn’t work so well for Mitt.
