Krauthammer made this effort on tonight’s Fox News program run by Brit Hume.

Charles didn’t say anything that FReepers haven’t been saying the past 32 hours or so.

I heard him , he also said something about Obama’s celestial, what was it he said, choirs? For Obama to use his grandmother in the same sentence as the Pastor and to compare this guy to Ferraro was a mistake, imo. It tells me that he does not quite get what the big deal about the pastor is.

As I posted previously, to the untrained or less discerning ear, Obama’s speech was eloquent and delivered very, very well. Those less involved, less willing to make the effort to really listen or predisposed to give Obama a pass on virtually everything will likely rate this speech highly.
Krauthammer identifies very well the fundamental inconsistencies and flaws of the speech. IMO It really was in a very complex way, as racist or biased as the sermons by Wright.

Actually, the best short description of Obama’s speech was:
“I have a Dream.” - Martin Luther King.
“I have an Excuse.” - Barack Hussein Obama.

It tells me that he does not quite get what the big deal about the pastor is.If that's so, he's too stupid to be president. And if he does know what the big deal is and is trying to convince us it doesn't matter, he's just another sleazy politician. But I repeat myself.

Did anyone hear Brit Hume’s comments about McCain going to Britain and #10? It was something like, John Mccain ventured into what many Americans think is “hostile territory.” I didn’t hear the whole thing, nor probably in the proper context, but it did surprise me.
To: shrinkermd
Charles Krauthammer just hammered Obama on Fox News. Saying essentially he (Obama) was sitting up in his celestial palace passing judgment on others in his speech and todays comments about his white Grandmother about race while he sat on his sanctimonious throne as if he was above it all!

True, it could be he knows why it matters, but is trying to convince us that it shouldn’t. I’m not buying it. I used to think Obama was not one to play the race card the way Jesse Jackson and Sharpton do, not anymore. I think he’s like them, except that in his case, he’s a lot more subtle about it.

Thats OK, today Obama said that his granny isn’t a racist she is just

Typical white person that still makes up 67% of the United States. And that does not equate to an election day win for Obama.

I think you can find the video
here and a transcript snippet
here. If not, you can probably google it up yourself by now.

I saw it as well. However, I found it interesting neither of the three would say the stereotyping done by Hussein earlier today did not offend them.
Brit somewhat stumbled when asked and at one point I thought he may have answered in the affirmative. I think Fred also hit hussein pretty hard and made the point that this is not really going anywhere any to soon for hussein....

Is it just me or is Krauthammer alway right all of the time.

Obama showed disrespect to his grandmother for political cover. He is Randall Flag.

The real question that begs to be asked is:
Will you, Barack Obama, publicly renounce Black Liberation Theology, as practiced by the church you have attended for 17 years?
A Church's theology is not defined by one minister, it is defined by the Elders, Deacons and members. Until such time that Obama renounces his Church and the theology it practices, this guy has zero chance of being President or VP.

Yeah, and any credit he does get on parts of this speech or his attempt to forthrightly address the issues (As inept as they are) are completely undermined by his wife's very evident racial fixations that bubble just beneath the surface. He's got real trouble as the bloom is definitely off the rose.
