Wait ... what? Obama was moved to tears by one of Wright’s sermons? But he told us that wasn’t the Reverend Wright he knew. I’m confused. /s

[Hunton Peck]

Among the things said in that sermon was that "white folks' greed runs a world in need." Obama was literally moved to tears by that sermon.

But 0bama must have been lying, because 0bama said 0bama wasn't there during Wright's racist speeches.

Despite a carefully choreographed image of affability and cool, Barack Obama's decisions and appointments as President betray an alienation from the values and the people of this country that are too disturbing to be answered by showing his birth certificate.

Money line.

"One of the painfully revealing episodes in Barack Obama's book "Dreams From My Father" describes his early experience listening to a sermon by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Among the things said in that sermon was that "white folks' greed runs a world in need." Obama was literally moved to tears by that sermon."

I checked that book out at the library and had to keep extending the date to check it back in. I just couldn't stick with it. I finally had to check it back in before I finished it.

This episode must have been towards the end of the book because I don't remember reading it.

Yep, Obama wasn’t there or he was dozing and forgot he was there. Or he was....oh never mind. :)

Dead on the mark!

Brilliance in teaching us all about what makes America work.

"God damn America ... for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”

“Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!"

“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people."

Obama moved to tears:

Well said. That's a good likeness for a T-Shirt.

Did the tears flow from his white eye or his black eye?

“I just couldn’t stick with it.”

I guess Bill Ayers just isn’t much of a writer.

Thanks for the ping. It would be fun to give this article to a liberal and ask him/her to guess the race of the author.

If I would have known, I would have invested heavily in BIC, since there will be a HUGE run on white-out (no pun intended) to mask that part of every book barry the zero had ghost written and published!!

One reason the U.S. has prospered is because when the colonists revolted against the ruling government, the people who came into power put into place a system which corrected the exploitations they felt they had experienced.

In most third world countries which have failed, when colonists revolted against colonial exploitation, the people who came into power simply changed the names on the office doors, and kept on exploiting.
