Guess it's time to disown Granny, if Obama's famous Philadelphia "race" speech is to be believed. Of course, the speech was not just believed. It was hailed, celebrated, canonized as the greatest pronouncement on race in America since Lincoln at Cooper Union. A New York Times columnist said it "should be required reading in classrooms across the country." College seniors and first-graders, suggested the excitable Chris Matthews.
Apparently there's been a curriculum change. On Tuesday, the good senator begged to extend and revise his previous remarks on race. Moral equivalence between Grandma and Wright is now, as the Nixon administration used to say, inoperative. Poor Geraldine Ferraro, thrice lashed by Obama in Philadelphia as the white equivalent of Wright's raving racism, is now off the hook.
These equivalences having been revealed as the cheap rhetorical tricks they always were, Obama has now decided that the man he simply could not banish because he had become part of Obama himself is, mirabile dictu, surgically excised.

I guess if Obama is true to his words (remember, according to Obama "WORDS DO MATTER"),
he will now have to disown not only his grandmother,
but also his BLACK RACE!!!
He threw his grandmother under under the bus,but sent his crazy uncle to sit in the back!
If I had a choice of speeches that first graders and college students would be made to read, I’d pick Krauthammer over Obama, however many tingles Chrissy feels in his leg.
Senator B. (whose middle name must NEVER be spoken) is SECOND TO NONE!
P.S. He also scores incredibly high on the elitist, arrogant, cocky, and condescending scales too!
That was a serious bitch-slap by Krauthammer
Nice one by Krauthammer!
Thank you for posting it, knighthawk!
Did you read the comments?
It’s amazing how some people seem to think he’s the second coming!
Well he is a great writer. He adds humor to clear facts, very nice to read.
