but how DARE anyone bash their grandmother for the whole world to hear???
All for political gain.

Yes. He essentially called his grandmother a racist just to make a point that excuses Wright. Disgusting doesn't begin to describe what Obama did in that speech. A speech some are calling the greatest since King's "I have a dream" speech. All I can do is shake my head in wonder at how low some people are willing to go to push this empty suit to the White House.

That was the most sickening of a speech so barf-able, we were posting dry-heave alerts after 15 minutes.

Exploiting your grandmother as moral equivalence to your racist pastor.

And the MSM is calling him the next MLK. WTF?

BWT, while we're on the subject of speeches, why is it that the lib media only think Dims are capable of giving great speeches?

While it might not have been filled with Leftist platitudes, President Reagan's speech in which he said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," only did a little thing -- like changed the world and brought freedom to about 100,000,000 people.

And President Bush 43 has given several extremely important speeches. His first inaugural is the only speech I've heard in my lifetime that contained a passage I instantly memorized. It was a beautiful, uplifting speech that ended with the following passage I never tire of:

After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?"

Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.

We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.

Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.

This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.

Compare the beauty, dignity and uplifting message from President Bush to the crap the likes of Wright and Obama feed us. Obama. Greatest speech in 40 years. Yeah, right. Only in Leftist wet dreams, that is.

The more Obama tries to untangle this knot the tighter it seems to get.

Next there will be a photo op with the white grandmother (is she still alive?) or some other white relative of his. Again just for political gain.
