very little instant polling on the speech that Ive seen. They dont want to know. I am sure they did polling and do know. It just wasn't news worthy.

Yet you notice the absence of polling data has not stopped the MSM from fawning all over this speech as if were comparable to the Gettysburg Address or the "I have a dream" speech? According to all those "unbiased" reporters this is "the most important speech of our time".
My ass.

If he did write it himself (Which I doubt he did without review and tuning) he sure didn't do it ‘After the wife and kids went to bed’ late one evening. I'm sure he had been working on this for months, knowing his hate filled Pastor's words and his apparent acceptance of them would eventually bubble to the surface.

I noticed that too. Typically, after any major speech one can't miss the polls, especially online. However, after Obama’s speech I looked but couldn't find anything other than a Rasmussen poll that had been done before the speech. I am sure that it is much easier for the MSM to do their spinning when there is little confirmed evidence to contradict their propaganda.

Well hell, nobody thought he was looking at the flag of his hateful country of the United States of White America.
Not surprising now why he doesn’t put his hand over his heart during the pledge. Just sits there like a little kid with hands folded in front of his zipper.

Listen for a few minutes to Joey Vento, owner of a south Philadelphia institution that serves gut-busting sandwiches through a takeaway hatch, and the scale of Barack Obama's problems become apparent. Obama is having the worst week of his campaign. It is, some believe, a week that threatens his chances of becoming president. "That minister, that was terrible, all his sayings. He's preaching hatred," Vento said. "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?" I> Poor Joey Vento didn't get the MSM memo. St. Obama gave a speech greater than the Gettysburg Address and has now been recognized as the Messiah, his administration will be the Second Coming, and the lion will lay down with the lamb . . . .
BTW, I've had his sandwiches. They aren't "gut busting," if you don't put on them what Lurch put on his, they're a little bit of heaven.

I still have a few questions about Jeremiah Wright. Let’s start with what kind of discharge he had from the Marines, then, where was he stationed and what was his rank?

Let's recap Obama's involvement with the racist black-supremacist church and "rev" Wright:
- spent almost 20 years as part of the congregation
- tens of thousands of dollars donated
- was married in the church, by rev Wright
- had his children baptized in the church
- named a book after one of rev Wright's sermons
- made rev Wright a member of his campaign team
- Obama credits his conversion to Christianity to Wright
- considers Wright to be a close personal friend, his foremost spiritual adviser, and his life mentor
Please inform of additions. Some folks still cling to the belief that there exists only a casual connection between Wright and Obama.

It's apparent he's looking at a Blackberry, but the MSM is so determined to fly cover for him they won't say it, because they know blue collar Democrats don't use them, the people who use them are the chardonnay and brie set, Obama’s actual base.

...I think it’s a huge joke to blame Hillary. Those ‘sermons’ were available on the Trinity website for how long? We were watching them and commenting on the content MONTHS ago! So, someone from Fox decided to buy them from the website and make it plain what that fraud Wright was ‘preaching’ - I’m just surprised it took so long!
What puzzles me is the AUDICITY! Obviously Wright was so comfortable in his hate he never considered what effect those tapes may have on obama’s career...and it’s plain to see obama himself felt justified in his racism. So now obama is running on a hate-whitey platform, is he? He should have told us that from the beginning, LOL!

True. Think of all the great takeaway lines from truly great speeches in the past...

The Obama speech??? I can't think of a single sentence that soared.

And the press has hardly started on his other adviser, Rev Meek, who freely uses the N word in his sermons and thinks homosexuals are a “sick breed”, even holding a “Homosexuals go to Hell” day at his chirch - Obama may be able to ignore the loss of whites, but just wait until the gays find out what he may or may not believe and turn against him.......
