NEW - Video from San Francisco - Obama jokes about small town hope
Politico ^ | April 12, 2008 | Ben Smith

Posted on 04/12/2008 5:01:49 PM PDT by renotse

Here's a clip taken by somebody at the San Francisco event; it's the passage just before the lines everyone is now focused on, in which he talks about the skepticism he encounters:

Here's how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it. And when it's delivered by -- it's true that when it's delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism.

Excellent post STARWISE.

The city I live in used to be called “The City of Millionares”, many cattlemen, ranchers, oilmen, etc. We have had President Bush, ex Bush, Governor Perry, etc come here in the same manner and we would read about it in the newspaper the next morning, lol.

Farrakhan and Obama’s pastor attend judge’s funeral

CHICAGO (AP) Prominent religious leaders including Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright have attended funeral services in Chicago for a former judge and longtime civil rights attorney.

Officials at Trinity United Church of Christ say R. Eugene Pincham was remembered as a devoted husband, dedicated father and advocate for the poor.

Wright, the minister of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, delivered the eulogy at the South Side church where he’s head pastor, but will retire June 1.

Wright and the church have faced scrutiny after short video clips of his more fiery remarks surfaced online.

The funeral services were closed to reporters.

Officials say the megachurch’s 2,500-seats were filled with mourners.

Pincham died earlier this month following a long illness. He was 82.

Wait...I thought his donations were so amazing because they were from a massive amount of people in small amounts!? It appears it’s more like small amount of people in massive amounts.

I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."

Nice grammar, Barack. And...so what? I knew what Sunni and Shi'a WERE before I graduated from high school. Does that make me qualified to run for POTUS??

Come on, he did it on purpose... he’s calling them dumb at the same time. Like mumsie said, if someone comes to you downing someone, they’ll down you somewhere else.

Coming soon, the speech... or overdue conversion:

In 1981 ... Obama visited his mother and sister Maya in Indonesia. After that visit, Obama traveled to Pakistan with a friend from college whose family was from there...

I wonder if he travelled on his US passport, or his Indonesian passport, or maybe he used his Kenyan passport...I believe he can lay claim to all three nationalities. (Handy for when he needs to leave the US and try his hand at politics somewhere more spiritually african-tribal and/or islamic.)

It's no wonder we are confused as to who and what he is. Imagine how conflicted he must be. Maternally white, a little black, paternally mostly arabic, claiming to belong to a christian church that is more Nation of Islam than Christian; running for the highest office in the land whilst hating the majority who live in it. He badly needs to consult a psychiatrist.

He told them flyovers will not vote for him because they’re racist, god-grabbing, gun-toting, bitter folks because they’ve been oppressed.

Sounds familiar. So is he also referencing black poor?
Their grandmas still go to church, the grandkids on the Southside carry guns and don’t want illegals taking their jobs, women or drug corners. PA would also be Philly correct? I guess we can strike out Christian for sure now.

I know who wrote that for him.

Not just a 46 year old black man, but a one with an Arab name.

Yes, leftists as BHO does indeed believe deep down they are dumb racist hicks; that's why they get all bent out of shape for using his given middle name.
