... The Illinois senator's comments came a day after he denounced statements appearing on television and on the internet by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, pastor of the Chicago church Obama joined nearly 20 years ago.

I doubt if the "reverend" checks the house and gives a normal Sunday School sermon when Barack is there, and saves the anti-Whitey, anti-Jew, anti-America crap for when Barack is absent.

Absolutely, not hardly possible.

This "I went but I never heard anti-Whitey" is a variation of Clinton's famous "I smoked but I didn't inhale" alibi.

The fact that even the drive-bys are having to cover this now says a lot---that it DOES have great resonance. As a poster above noted, Obama's "street cred" with white people was that he was, as the LA Times called him, the "magic Negro," someone who wasn't threatening to whites as a radical white-hater. He was the non-Jesse Jackson.

Or so it appeared. Now this makes him look like just another slick Al Sharpton. It won't sit well in white America.

The veil was lifted a long time ago, but America was too dumb to see it:

From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASISVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” Barack Hussein Obama

From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams Of My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama

This has profound impact on the country I love and on the world, so your mouth to God’s ears.

Anecdote about PT Barnum that illustrates my concern. He exhibited “500,000 natural and artificial curiosities from every corner of the globe,” and kept traffic moving through the museum with a sign that read, “This way to the egress” — “egress” was another word for exit, and Barnum’s patrons would keep following the signs until they were out of the museum.

If the drive-bys effectively turn on Obama and consistently report this for a long period of time, it may have some traction.

Otherwise, the sheeple will just go keep blindly following in their stupor - Iraq war bad, Republicans racist - made this up to discredit our hero, Bush lied and people died, . . . and considering his admitted charisma, liberal guilt, desire for change - regardless of where it leads, and dislike of Hillary will vote for him anyway.

That only took - what? - two days? Obama isn’t merely a liar; he’s a stupid liar.

Obama decries 'forces of division'

RIGHT, like the black racist, anti-Semitic, anti American "spiritual guide and mentor" he has had guiding, leading and advising him for the last 22 years. Obamalama is a FRAUD, who's actions speak louder than his pious platitudes. If he was really concerned about forces of division he would have forsaken Wright and his so called "church".

Well, I prefer a different maxim, about Russia but we can apply this to the Dems at any particular time: "they are never as strong as they look, and they are never as weak as they look."

Both Obama and Hillary will alienate HUGE numbers of moderate Dems/independents, but for totally different reasons. Hillary brings up all those (bad) memories of Bill and power-lust, plus she's just a (rhymes with itch). Obama terrifies people who are afraid they would be electing a black version of the KKK.

I don’t think they’re terrified enough, frankly. He’s just such a nice guy, and he’s going to bring us all together as one big, happy family.

But, I hope you’re right. And you’re very right about Hillary - not a nice lady, to say the least, and her husband is a piece of work . . .

Blessings,
