This is so bad for Obama he may not even get to Pennsylvania before the party elders have a little talk with him to encourage him to accept the VP spot.
Dream on.
Yawn..it was already on TV..nothing is going to bring this guy down.
No way the MSM will let this out. They’ll cover. “It’s just a pastor, Obama has disavowed this”.
By the way, that pastor is horrible. When he was simulating sex at the podium, that’s atrocious. And Oprah goes there too. Explains a lot, why they really understand so little of God’s word.
On tv when? Before tonight? It hasn’t had time to explode yet.
Oprah goes there? That might be his saving grace if he can get her to spin it- people like Oprah.
BTTT...
Liberals and Dems have age old battle going on - whose pain was worse? Who was the bigger victim?
Gays, Women, and Blacks, they argue they all had equal suffering and then they fight each other saying their pain was worse.
They played it on FOX several times today....even put a warning on for the language.
This is Obama’s old pastor...
It sounds as if Politico wants Hillary.
The Democrats will of course say Obama can’t be guilty by association, say he denounced it, whatever.
But that is missing the point of the video, and why it has been put out there (by the Clintons.)
Allow me to break it down for you (excuse me if I sound like Geraldine Ferraro here).
Barack Obama is, as Joe Biden put it “articulate and bright and clean.”
White voters feel comfortable with him.
He gets out on the stump and he acts white, talks white, even sort of looks white.
White voters can vote for Obama and feel good about themselves for doing it while not feeling threatened by Obama’s “blackness.”
The purpose of the video getting out is quite simply to “blacken” Obama.
It is what the Clintons have done several times, and judging on the latest exit polls, they have been fairly successful.
By exposing just how black the world Obama comes from really is, it undermines his appeal to white voters.
It gives them pause. It disconnects them from him.
There is no “not guilty by association” defense that can be made for it.
Because it appeals to something much deeper than that.
This is why we are seeing this video now.
And that is why this and more stuff like it will bring Obama down.
The comments on the site are hilarious - they’re either deeply offended or trying to say this isn’t so bad. The dems are truly ripping themselves apart.
All of this bickering between the Blacks, Whites, Libs and Conservatives is “A tempest in a tea pot, full of sound and fury and signifyng nothing”.
A few years down the road, the Hispanics will dispose of the Blacks and then start the big job, working on the Whites.
Practically all the Hispanics I know are fine decent peiple but there is a new breed rising among them. Be very worried.
Saw this on FOX also.
The problem is, most people are not outraged.
Also would have no clue what he is talking about.
Just your basic voters.
If Obama gets in, we are kaput
bump for morning...
If any white or Hispanic person said anything close to this, the Rev$ Je$$e J@ck$on and Al $h@rpton would be calling them RACISTS.
Personally, I hope this sinks B HUSSEIN O into the gutter of the also rans.
Ping.
Too bad the GOP and the McInsane campaigns don’t have gonads even to protect this country from schmucks like this. Thank God we have soldiers with the guts to protect and defend this great nation and our freedom. DC and most of the state legislatures are full of gutless traitors, IMO.
