Obama’s Feeble Attempt to Distance Himself From His Pastor’s Anti-American Screeds

Mr. Clean, the self-appointed New Messiah of Unity and Harmony, has been badly sullied by the controversy surrounding his long association with the pastor of his church, who on numerous occasions, has said some very disparaging things about white people— those same folks, who to a large extent, are responsible for many of his primary victories.

Watching the videos of Obama's lunatic pastor stirring up his congregation with racist rhetoric and then seeing them nod their heads in agreement to his inflammatory charges was downright

Great rant!

“there is going to be a not insignificant number of Obama supporters who feel they have been sold a false bill of goods.
“
Just goes to show you the level of discernment on their part.

Obama is trying to make us believe that on the days he, himself went to church, Rev. Wright was just your basic Sunday preacher.

It is not just the preacher. That which is preached from the pulpit spills out from the pews. Someone tell me that BO did not meet with others in the "church" before and after services.

Obama was imported from another country.

Napoleon was Corsican, not French.
Stalin was Georgian, not Russian.
Hitler was Austrian, not German.

Yes, he is using subterfuge, like any good commie.

In The Weekly Standard, Andrew Ferguson writes on “The Wit And Wisdom Of Barack Obama”:

What is unmistakable is the creepy kind of solipsism and the air of self-congratulation that clings to his campaign. “There is something happening,” he says in stump speeches. And what's happening? “Change is happening.” How so? “The reason our campaign has been different is about what you, the people who love this country, can do to change it.” And the way to change it is to join the campaign, which, once you join it, will change America. Because this is our moment. The time is now. Now is the time. Yes, we can. We bring change to the campaign because the campaign is about change. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Obama and his followers are perfecting postmodern reflexivity. It's a campaign that's about itself. The point of the campaign is the campaign...

On his website the videos of his most acclaimed speeches have proved much more popular than the transcripts. As a candidate he fits a public that prefers the sensation of words to the words themselves. His speeches are meant to be succumbed to rather than thought about.

But what if you do think about them?

Among Ferguson's observations: Whereas every other shopworn cliche from Obama’s stump speech is standard-issue bipartisan boilerplate recycled from Clinton, Bush, Kerry, Dole, Bradley, Gingrich, Dean and Ford, “We are the change we've been waiting for” apparently originates with “the left-wing-radical-feminist-bisexual poet June Jordan”.
