Same question can be asked of any candidate. Is this is burning issue? Are people discussing it every day? Has Obama said he would?
Haven’t heard about this non-sense in a long time untill today.
What would be the purpose of asking this of Obama? Only to put him in between rock and a hard place. If he says Yes, he becomes an unrealistic racial candidate. If says no, he loses some of his black support.
Ask Hillary then if she would support ERA. As McCain then if he would reverse Affirmative Action.
Were we inflicted with Obama, this would be among the least of our problems.
There won’t be anything left after Hussein Obama gives $845 billion to the UN to distrubute for his Global Poverty Act.
Obama has said before that he’s not for reparations in its present form. What’s its “present form?”
He doesn’t even have to be good at playing words because the media damn sure isn’t going to question him about it.
Would Mr. President Obama have to pay reparations to himself?
This issue falls into a gray area. Certainly not black and white.
You guys should really listen to the video more closely. Barack was dipping and dodging in the video.
He said “I think the reparations we need right here in South Carolina is investments in our schools.” He then went on to talk about some of the schools in South Carolina that are in terrible condition—some of which are largely white students.
He then ended by saying “if we make the investments and understand that those are our children those are the kinds of reparations that are going to make a difference.”
Pay attention to what he actually said. He said that the schools all around the nation are in bad condition, and he aims to fix those schools.
In fact it has nothing to do with reparations, it was a simple technique of dipping and dodging, and a really good response to such a loaded question for an African American candidate to answer.
