LIVE THREAD - Under Pressure, Obama Prepares for Race and Unity Speech
Fox News ^ | 18 March 2008

Posted on 03/18/2008 6:12:13 AM PDT by SE Mom

Barack Obama is preparing to deliver a major address Tuesday on race, politics and unifying the country after being hounded by questions about his relationship to a pastor whose sermons have been laced with anti-American invective.

In a speech whose religious significance could compare to one given in December by former GOP presidential hopeful and Mormon Mitt Romney, Obama may be forced to explain the philosophy of the 8,000-strong Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where the Democratic presidential candidate has been a congregant for 20 years.

In announcing the morning address, to be delivered in Philadelphia, Obama would not say specifically what he will discuss, but suggested he wants to cool down the atmosphere after incendiary remarks by his pastor, retired Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., blanketed the airwaves over the past week.

Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition.

There are so many BARF ALERT moments, we need to change them to DRY HEAVE alerts.

Sickening. He is saying Reagan got elected because whites are racist. Actually, we were sick of Carter being a pansy-ass to the world.

Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, .....

(My white grandmother).. on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

So his adopted black uncle never uttered racial stereotypes but his white granny did?

You NOT CREDIBLE Hussein.

His mother cringed at passing Black men on the street?

If I'm not mistaken, Jesse Jackson once said that he felt relieved when a group of guys he encountered at night turned out to be white and not black. I'll try to find a link to that story.

Excusing Wright’s speech - Wright is a victim.

Black politicians have been running the South Side of Chicago since before Prohibition and they drive the finest cars, play with the finest black and white women and amass a fortune, and still, their neighborhoods go to the dogs.

I am tired of hearing about whites screwing over blacks. It’s always been equal opportunity in Chicago.

I think he’s about to justify white churches condemning Islam.

Oh, and I guess now Rabbis can preach vile hatred of Germans.

Surely I’ve forgotten some. Where does it stop?

The fact that 90% of blacks are voting for him demonstrates how polarized the Dem electorate is. He is the beneficiary of that polarization despite denouncing it.

“Have the fathers stay home and there will be no problems in the schools.’

Bingo. There appears to be a bit of their culture that is not based on a monogamous two parent family. It seems perfectly acceptable and expected that grandparents raise kids.

I bet there are stats that show that show no matter the race, two parent households are successful and those that aren’t are typically less successful.

When will he explain his support for the corrupt, gun-waving, reparations seeking former Chicago alderman, Dorothy Tillman?

This is the sort of thing I think of when I listen to Obama - or ANY other ‘RAT - give a speech from their “hearts”:

“...a prince should always seem to be religious.” ~ Machiavelli

“Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes, not divine, but demonic.” —Pope Benedict XVI

“What we hear from Obama is the eternal mantra of the socialists; America is broken, millions have no health care, families cannot afford necessities, the rich are evil, we are selfish, we are unhappy, unfulfilled, without hope, desperate, poverty stricken, morally desolate, corrupt and racist. This nihilism is the lifeblood of all the democrat candidates, even ‘hope you can believe in’ performers like Obama. When Michelle Obama claims she is only newly proud of her country, she does not exaggerate. In her world as in Obama’s, they believe we are a mess, a land filled with the ignorant and unenlightened, filled with despair” (Fairchok).
