Obama to deliver “major speech” on race tomorrow

Think it’ll have anything to do with the forces of division starting to raise their ugly heads?

Barack Obama will give a major speech on “the larger issue of race in this campaign,” he told reporters in Monaca, PA just now.

He was pressed there, as he has been at recent appearances, on statements by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

“I am going to be talking about not just Reverend Wright, but the larger issue of race in this campaign,” he said.

He added that he would “talk about how some of these issues are perceived from within the black church issue for example,” he said.

Maybe “the government lied about Pearl Harbor” is all a big cultural misunderstanding? Expect lots of redemption rhetoric about the Messiah rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the black nationalist movement he patronized for 20 years and how it’s objectively anti-progress to hold that inconvenient fact against him. Exit question: It’s good news, at least, that the congregation apparently no longer regards “Middleclassness” as some sort of vestige of slavery, isn’t it?

My fellow Americans,

DAMN YOU!

Thank very much. Good night. Hope for change.

which race?

Yeah...well if everyone agreed with my personal opinions, the world wouldn’t be in the state it’s in right now. But hey, to each his own. If you want to spend 4 hours watching “stock” cars drive around in a circle, by all means. I’ve got better things to do.

The Rat establishment is quickly turning out the lights of Obama’s campaign.

I say to hell with free passage. Let’s seize their assets, sell them off and use that money to send the separatists all away.

And yes I mean all of them, white, black, yellow, blue, green and purple.

I don't think anything he says matters at this point. The dems are going to the convention without a candidate decided upon, there is no getting around that now. None. And it is going to be one ugly violent convention.

Popcorn popper at the ready.

I'm not looking forward to violence, mind you. I am looking forward to the spotlight shining on the TRULY divisive party, and we all know it ain't the GOP.

it’s getting hard to find popcorn and the demand is great!!

I'm telling you, hoard it until the convention, or you'll be sorry!
