"The thing I didn't like about Obama; you're telling me for 20 years you been going to that church and you never heard that?"



What, me listen?

Senator Obama uses his wireless device to search his favourite blogs: "Damn Whitey" and "AmeriKKKa Sucks."

I can hear the vile screeds from “Pastor” Wright now if the DNC doesn’t pick B.H.O. in August or the Nation doesn’t pick B.H.O. in November.

“white voters slip away”

Blaming the voters never gets you elected.

We’d hear vile screed from Wright regardless. Even if Barry wins the nomination or the national election, Wright will spew some kind of rabid, racist, conspiratorial crap - he is off his nut.

Those typical white voters are just racists.

He wrote his own speech? I do not believe that. No politician on the campaign trail writes his own speeches.

One would hope there are more than white voters slipping away. I won't hold my breath.

Well, there is one problem with all of these campaigns. They have divvied and parceled up all the fragments of the American population except one which they have all neglected and taken for granted. The one that is most discriminated against. The one that is the most hated and reviled. The one to which they all owe their success. Which one? The White American Male.

What leadership or quality other than being 35 yrs old?????

So...

Are any Freepers screen printing ‘TYPICAL WHITE PERSON’ t-shirts yet?

It would be entertaining for a cast of thousands to show up at all Obama rallies wearing them. Think we’d make the evening news?

If this was the greatest speech of all time, why does he keep falling? Perhaps the media is out of touch, what inspires people.

very little instant polling on the speech that I’ve seen. They don’t want to know.

I think it’s time to change my tagline, for a while.

I’d get a t-shirt made up, if I had some good places to wear it.

Hey, check out my new tagline.
