LIVE THREAD - Under Pressure, Obama Prepares for Race and Unity Speech

Fox News ^ | 18 March 2008

[ari-freedom]

The profound mistake of Reverend Wright’s sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society. It’s that he spoke as if our society was static; as if no progress has been made

what the heck

[armymarinemom]

Good grief. If you don’t elect me your ignorant. Sad

[JFC]

My white man will vote for McCain come November. So will I.

Obama, your change motto is not enough to change us for the better.

[tobyhill]

This is just Obama the closet racist coming out.

[toddlintown]

Give me a good old Eldrige Cleaver speech any day of the week.

[struggle]

Hey, white men are going to flock to McCain regardless of his policies?!??!??!?!?!?!

FTW?

[Polynikes]

“Obama seems absolutely obsessed with race.”

And it makes him and his wife a perfect match. Blame everyone.
He is digging himself into a hole. Hillary and company must be passing the champagne around

[rolling_stone]

[Dinah Lord]

I don’t like this guy - and yes, he’s still babbling

[maggief]

This speech certainly divides us into two Americas.

[TomGuy]

Too bad CNN and FoxNews are not running the focus groups and their immediate responses.

I would bet a ‘general audience’ would be ranking many portions of this speech in the red/negatives.

[spectre]

Uh,..oh. He's challenging the White community now.

You're going deeper, deeper...right into quick sand..obama.

sw

[mewzilla]

The undercurrent in this speech supports what Wright has been preaching.

Liberation theology.

[null and void]

How did you know that he was going to say this exact word for word paragraph?

SJackson's smart?

[syriacus]

"We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter....."
Barack has already checked that off on his list of things to do.

[Vision]

I'm waiting for this to end so I can turn the radio back on.

This speech is so high and mighty it can only come from someone who is trying to hide his guiltiness.

[Always Right]

Yep, all white people who support McCain are racists.

[rock_lobsta]

Has he blamed Bush yet?Only indirectly - Bush is not mentioned, but Reagan, conservatives, Limbaugh, and Whitey have.

[wpa_mikeb]

this guy sounds like a black separarist.

Now it’s MY fault that inner city schools are failing. Yeah, right.

I live in Pennsylvania. This stuff is NOT playing well here.
