    It would have worked only if I couldn't deal with it, but I did. Try to keep up. :D :D :D
    Obama is a politician and if this is his Waterloo, so be it.

    But I notice in that same speech that Wright said no Black could run for President, but obviously Obama didn't believe that. So according to your "omniscience", that's the only thing in Wright's speech he didn't accept. Must be nice to be God, or a deluded fool who thinks he's God. :D :D

    Yes you proved my point - thank you.
    So that's your justification for supporting a liar and father who deliberately exposes his children to hate speech and racism, and fellowships with a church full of racists and hate-America-bashers?!?

    I don't support anybody at this point, they're all flawed. If Obama is out, so be it. The guy I really wanted dropped out long ago, so it's just another four years of dreck as far as I'm concerned.

  4. Well, maybe history can provide us with some guidance here:

    When a guy gets elected to lead a nation because he made some great populist speeches... that usually works out splendidly for the country in question, right? :p

  5. Do you believe that black anger is unjustified?

  6. Wow. You guys are really special. Obama delivers what will likely be remembered as one of the greatest speeches in the history of this country, calling for unity ("a more perfect union") and speaking out against all forms of racism & divisiveness in America, and you share your brilliance by accusing him of racism?

  7. yes blacks are aggressive beings who are full of hate because they can't accomplish much in life, they dream of being a rapper or a basket ball player

    what percent of black people can comprehend mathematics, seriously?!

    as teenagres a great portion of their growth hormone is consumed building their bodies rather than their brain

    if you have any complaints take it to your fucking God, as God is the cause of all things

    just take a look at africa, their lives, if they had any mind of their own they would do something about it

    Race and Politics
    By Thomas Sowell
    Tuesday, March 18, 2008

    There is something both poignant and galling about the candidacy of Barack Obama.

    Any American, regardless of party or race, has to find it heartening that the country has reached the point where a black candidate for President of the United States sweeps so many primaries in states where the overwhelming majority of the population is white.

    We have all seen the crowds enthralled by Barack Obama's rhetoric and theatrical style.

    Many of his supporters put their money where their mouths were, so that this recently arrived Senator received more millions of dollars in donations than candidates who have been far more visible on the national stage for far more years.

    That's the good news. The bad news is that Barack Obama has been leading as much of a double life as Eliot Spitzer.

    While talking about bringing us together and deploring "divisive" actions, Senator Obama has for 20 years been a member of a church whose minister, Jeremiah Wright, has said that "God Bless America" should be replaced by "God damn America" -- among many other wild and even obscene denunciations of American society, including blanket racist attacks on whites.

    Nor was this an isolated example. Fox News Channel has played tapes of various sermons of Jeremiah Wright, and says that it has tapes with hours of more of the same.

    Wright's actions matched his words. He went with Louis Farrakhan to Libya and Farrakhan received an award from his church.

    Sean Hannity began reporting on Jeremiah Wright back in April of 2007. But the mainstream media saw no evil, heard no evil and spoke no evil.

    Now that the facts have come out in a number of places, and can no longer be suppressed, many in the media are trying to spin these facts out of existence.

    Spin number one is that Jeremiah Wright's words were "taken out of context." Like most people who use this escape hatch, those who say this do not explain what the words mean when taken in context.

    In just what context does "God damn America" mean something different?

    Spin number two is that Barack Obama says he didn't hear the particular things that Jeremiah Wright said that are now causing so much comment.

    It wasn't just an isolated remark. Nor were the enthusiastic responses of the churchgoers something which suggests that this anti-American attitude was news to them or something that they didn't agree with.

    If Barack Obama was not in church that particular day, he belonged to that church for 20 years. He made a donation of more than $20,000 to that church.

    In all that time, he never had a clue as to what kind of man Jeremiah Wright was? Give me a break!

    You can't be with someone for 20 years, call him your mentor, and not know about his racist and anti-American views.

    Neither Barack Obama nor his media spinmeisters can put this story behind him with some facile election year rhetoric. If Senator Obama wants to run with the rabbits and hunt with the hounds, then at least let the rabbits and the hounds know that.

    The fact that Obama talks differently than Jeremiah Wright does not mean that his track record is different. Barack Obama's voting record in the Senate is perfectly consistent with the far left ideology and the grievance culture, just as his wife's statement that she was never proud of her country before is consistent with that ideology.

    Senator Barack Obama's political success thus far has been a blow for equality. But equality has its down side.

    Equality means that a black demagogue who has been exposed as a phony deserves exactly the same treatment as a white demagogue who has been exposed as a phony.

    We don't need a President of the United States who got to the White House by talking one way, voting a very different way in the Senate, and who for 20 years followed a man whose words and deeds contradict Obama's carefully crafted election year image.

    What unity? Obama just used the Jesse Jackson template - talk like a victim and blame white conservatives for all ills. I.E. the Reagan coalition and talk radio. He just called over half of the country racists, including Reagan Democrats. Some more perfect union.
