Barrack Obama's Biggest Problem? Michelle Obama
Townhall ^ | June 3, 2008 | Katy Grimes

Posted on 06/03/2008 5:12:08 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The buzz about a tape surfacing of Michelle Obama ranting about "Whitey" together with Louis Farrakhan and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is interesting, if not a deal breaker. When it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam - not a good tag when running for President of the United States.

There is no coincidence that Barrack Obama "quit" his controversial church yesterday, just as news of this tape hit.

But his ties with the Nation of Islam do not get cut just because he "quits" the church. "Barack hired two members of the Nation of Islam to work on his staff—Jennifer Mason and Cynthia K. Miller. If Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger (now placed on leave by the Cardinal of New York for his recent rant) had kept their yaps buttoned none of this would mean much. But the fact that both men have been—until scrubbed from the website in recent weeks—listed as spiritual advisors to Barack Obama and also are very close to Louis Farrakhan, forces the question about Barack’s faith and beliefs." (hat tip NoQuarter)

The word is that one of the Republican candidates no longer in the race (Rudy) acquired the tape. Republicans will most likely hold the tape until the fall. Because if Hillary had it, she'd let it out now to get rid of Obama.

Things will only get more interesting. Either way, Michelle Obama has using her own mouth, put her husband's foot in it.

I’m not ‘jacking your thread. Just thought I’d stick this in here instead of starting a new thread.....

I sense a bit of similarity here to the infamous 'FBI Files' which Hillary has had for years, the ones that have been the source of much conjecture as to what and how they would or could be used.

My bet: we will never see 'the tape'.

The MSM will do absolutely everything to spin this away from Obama. You can bet your last Ruble on it.

Really?

She’s Barrack’s ‘Bubba,’ LOL! Let’s start calling her “Bubba!”

She is a whack-job. I’ll bet the Secret Service is already fielding code-names for her just in case...and I’ll bet a donut that they’re not flattering. ;)

Plenty? Must be you can provide plenty of evidence to support your claim.

Because what you're implying is that Freerepublic has plenty of racists.

For example?

Compile a list of complaints we have about Barack Obama, and I guarantee you won’t find the word “black” on any of them. Obama enjoyed much success using this “racist” tactic against Hillary Clinton. We Republicans won’t tolerate it - and won’t worry about harming Obama’s electoral prospects in retaliating. She might have sat on her hands and taken it, but we won’t.

Michelle Obama seems to be similar to Hillary, in that, she’s outspoken and prone to say outrageous things. Hillary was quite a lightning rod for attention and criticism when Bill first ran for pres. in ‘92. I wonder if Michelle will be that type of first lady.

Maybe she won’t get the chance to be first lady, then we won’t have to worry.

Is Michelle black? Barrack isn’t. He’s a White Denier. He’s half Kansan, fer Pete’s Sake!

Why embrace one HALF of your heritage over the other? Oh, that’s right. It’ll GET you places to be considered ‘black’ versus being a boring ‘Kansan.’ *Rolleyes*

I’m e-mailing Ann Coulter. She’ll set the record straight. :)

I'm with you. If there is one copy of a "tape" there are multiple copies, and if there are multiple copies, one of them would have made it public by now.

I am afraid that it is just wishful thinking.

If he gets elected, Mike Rowe should expect a recruitment call from the Secret Service. He’s probably the only person in the country qualified to be assigned to her.

The author got a few facts wrong. Pfleger is from Chicago and it was Chicago’s Cardinal George who told him to cool it. It was also George who made him quit his post with Obama’s campaign a few weeks ago.

it’s only meaningful to people that don’t like blacks. others who are around blacks are used to the rants against whitey.

You're wrong on this one,

No American is used to hearing the potential First Lady going on racist rants.

I haven’t decided when to release the tape. Of course, what you all don’t know is that she uses the word “Tighty” right before the word “Whitey”.

Context is everything.

(now placed on leave by the Cardinal of New York for his recent rant)

uhh, that'd be Chicago.

Cardinal Francis George, leader of the archdiocese of Chicago, announced this afternoon that Father Michael Pfleger, the priest who mocked Hillary Clinton last weekend, has been put on leave from his parish.

It’s not the church that is the problem, but it’s the ungodly people who are in the church- in this case Rev. Wright, Father Phlegm, Louis Farakhan, and Barack and Michelle Obama themselves, who are the prime examples of what’s wrong with that church. In their hearts it seems that the seeds of jealousy, hate, deceit and betrayal have found fertile ground. Take people like this out of our churches and let our churches be inhabited with only the righteous, and the churches will be shining lights in our country. Some churches are that way already. They focus on the Word of God in the Holy Bible and the truth is spoken in these holy places. But in those churches where selfish ambition and ungodly political agendas have a home, there is little room for the love of God.

Perhaps the Trinity United Church of Christ can someday become a TRUE Church of Christ, espousing the love and truth that Jesus Christ taught us to live by.

Bob Livingston quit right out of the blue that faithful impeach Billy day, remember?

Still haven't seen a factual satisfactory answer to why he did so.

I have a problem with racist blacks. Therefore I have a problem with Obama, Wright, Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, Rangel etc. If that makes me a racist, so be it.

Everytime I see Obama speak, it reminds me of Malik Shabazz. Malik is the leader of the New Black Panthers, and is one angry dude. He and Obama speak with the same speech cadence, diction, and expressions. Malik is very close to Farrakhan and the NOI. Too much of a coincidence? Just thinking out loud.

This has been known for a long time. Why has no one used it against Obama? He and his rotten racist wife have been hooked up with Farrakhan for years.

If Jule Annie has the tape, he can hand it over to either Hillary or the RINO relic in exchange for the vice-presidential nomination. Both are hungry and will work with Julie Annie to get the Smoking Gun.
