Obama says US cannot ignore race

I'll tell you what. Challenge an Obama supporter, particularly a black one, and see how long it takes for that supporter to spout the same rhetoric that Wright has. I've seen it happen already.

The Obama camp should be VERY worried.

Let's try this:

I'm very impressed that Obama is able and willing and effectively delivered the speech that needed speaking. It's about time the issue of race is laid bare.

Obama tried to run for the office of the president as a man first, liberal democrat second. However, the media and the Clintons postured, "is he black enough", "is he too white?", LA Times called him the "Magic Negro".

The notorious smash-mouth politicians, the Clintons and their campaign staff expressed innuendos such as "he is a Muslim", "affirmative action candidate" "well, he won South Carolina just the same as Jesse Jackson".

Hillary Clinton said Martin Luther King, Jr's contribution was minimal because he needed a president, Lyndon B. Johnson, to sign civil rights legislation. Or, when she blithely said that "obama has not done the spade work".

Constantly during this campaign for the presidency Obama's race has been swatted around in the most despicable of manner particularly by the Clintons. Today, Obama smacked them all back to reality, race is real, the problems are real, and cannot be dismissed or used as a tool for class warfare.

I admit Pastor Jeremiah Wright's sermons are offensive and appalling but maybe, just maybe because of the vileness the door is opened for the light of truth to shine in and heal the race divisions in this country.

6 FLAGS OVER PHILLY

(but no American Flag lapel pin!)

vidcaps from FNC today:

Check the arrogance in his facial expressions that so well betray his weasel words about ex(he alleges)-Muslim Jerimiah Wright

[cmotormac44]

“——America does not need a racist Negro lecturing us on —race relations—”

he is not a full Negro but a mulatto-—look at it another way, he is one-half Causasian-—that is why he needed Wright and the power of the black church in Chicago to get and keep him going up in political power circles and why he will not repudiate Wright now—he would surely lose his seat in the Senate next time around if he lost the backing of the blacks in Chicago and Illinois (if he does not become the President)-—he is no dummy and ‘planned his work and is working his plan’-—I believe Wright was a calculated risk he took to get a handup in political circles in the Chicago area-—(hope if backfires big time)-—he is a dangerous person to have in ‘high places’, just look at his entire political record and US Senate votes

Got up this morning as usual, at 0430, and all that was on the news was the speech by Obamalamadingdong discussing race relations in America and his association with Rev. Wrong. Skipped some of the usual morning chores and sat down to view the news cast, listened to his denials of Wright's preachings (and Grandma's too) and to his gratitude to Wright for leading him to Jesus and Christian teachings. B.O. said hard feelings and racial slights, animosity and distrust, unfairness and preferences have marred American history since its inception to this day! We have to change! Wright was wrong but he was right, Grandma was wrong but she was white! Hillary's surrogate, Geraldine Ferraro was wrong but she was right in exposing the 'glass ceiling' and the misogynistic society that exists in Amerika! If we don't put all this behind us and vote for change, we'll fall in line and vote for McCain no matter his politics! We have to put racism, misogyny and preferences for white leadership behind us so that we can move forward to a more perfect union. We need Change!


So.....I'm voting for Condi.

I invite corrections on this; I am not and will not start a huge researched archive on this - others are mucho better at that stuff than I am

From my information and understanding Barak Hussein Obama Junior’s father is a member of a paricular tribe in Kenya for the last 300 years that is of Arab Muslim blood.

One of his Kenyan family is of African blood and is also a Muslim.

Obama’s Kansas white atheist mommy met Barak Hussein Obama Senior (already married to a Kenyan I believe) - a Muslim - “on or about age 18”

Within 2 years after they “met” Obama Junior alleges they divorced and then his mommy married an Indonesian Muslim and Barack Hussein Obama Junior (in Indonesia) was enrolled in an Islamic Madrassa school as a Muslim by his Muslim Indonesian stepfather (Irving Julio Soweto)

So: (be my guest and provide better info - Hillarylanders may submit info too)

50% White American Atheist
42.5% Muslim Arab Kenyan
6.5% Muslim Kenyan African

Barry Soweto was the name in those days - I do not know how long he used that name or “Barry”

At age 10 Obama-Soweto-Obama was sent by mommy to live with his white American grandparents in Hawaii - where he wanted to attend a private school (I believe)

Today the theme appeared to be “No American flag lapel pin for me you idiots! Go get me six American flags on stands and place three on each side behind me on the stage so I’ll look Presidential!”

At 6% I’m not sure someone of American Indian bloodlines could qualify to be a member of an authentic American Indian tribe, get Afirmitive Action Bennies, Firewater, sue to grab white interloppers land or be granted a Casino license like Foxwoods and sub out the management to the mob and have Injun chicks serve booze in deerskin minis with a feather in their hair

My great grandmother was a full-blooded Injun but I cannot speak any Injun lingo and I cannot get my share of Foxwoods Casino profits - Oh well

So actually Obama is about as tan as I am - Jerimiah Wright is mucho whiter than I am

But neither of them has sparkling ice-blue Viking eyes

Latest FNC poll after Øbama’s free political TV coverage today:

87% - no Øbama
12% - Øbama
1% - who cares

66% of blacks believe Øbama

But blacks usually vote 92%-108% for democrats in November

Hmmmmmm!

PA poll on FNC:

53% - Hillary!
41% - Øbama
70% - Ron Paul (text messaged poll votes)

I’m calling Florida for John McCain

Did Obama run TV ads in Florida against DNC rules just before the Florida primaries?

I dunno -

Porky will not answer my phone calls or faxes to him in Fort Lauderdale

I re-deployed from Broward County some time ago

Maybe Murph the Surf would know.....

This racism crap just pisses me off.

The blacks that I know that succeeded worked their butts off LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. They went to their full time college classes, worked to support themselves, and now they're a success.

Sorry, Jesse and Al, but most Americans are more than happy to give a black guy who's busting his ass a break. They WANT HIM TO SUCCEED because they themselves value hard work. They also want to prove to themselves, whether they want to admit it or not, that they are not a racist.

I cannot stand blacks who bitch and moan that blacks cannot succeed. Screw them. I have seen too many examples that proved them wrong.

The “big” picture!! Overall.

[Wright was wrong but he was right, Grandma was wrong but she was white!]

Great ‘tagline’ that would make BIGLOOK!!

Michael Graham at the Boston Herald referred to Obama's rambling talk as his "I have an excuse" speech.

LOL! Thanks potlatch!

Good Morning!

[mad_as_he$$]

BHO I could ignore race if you quit rubbing my face in it.

[potlatch]

Morning to you!
Think I’ll spend some time trying to get the javascript for a little dragon cursor today.

Early posting on FR!

Good luck with the dragon!

Good Point, but he is playing the role and trying to get his street creds.

Obama is dangerous in that he is covert in his real change for America. I visualize a South Africa occurring in America with (Obama Mugabe) as the POTUS.

It is a shame that men such as J.C. Watts, Lynn Swann, Michael Steele, Rev Peterson are despised by the majority of the Black community. Those men are leaders, who represent America in a postive light. They are viewed in the majority of Black communities as sell-outs to the Man, due tho their noble patriotic/positive views of America.

Obama will not recover from his POS pastor’s remarks and or his silent condoning of the same. One might ask, how could any sane person trust & vote for someone who belongs to a radical anti-American, anti-White, terrorists empathizing, and hate filled church as Obuma????

I laughed yesterday as they had the various Black commentators on national tv were trying to give Obuma a pass/make excuses for actions/inactions. It is called the HABOP, “help a brother out program” which entails to lie, intimidate, and do by any means necessary to protect a worthless POS.

In conclusion, it is apparent Rev Half-White Wright belongs in a mental insitution and Obuma needs to withdraw from the Presidential race/resign as a US Senator for the “Good” of all Americans.

Your comments are right on the money concerning Obuma and his liabilites to America.

My friend, no matter what you or I do they will not be healed because(some) need a job like Jesse, Al, Wright, Obuam and others.

One can never fill a bottomless pit in this life or the next.
