Death to the rich! Power to the people!

Barack Obama is preparing to deliver a major address Tuesday on race, politics and unifying the country after being hounded by questions about his relationship to a pastor whose sermons have been laced with anti-American invective.
In a speech whose religious significance could compare to one given in December by former GOP presidential hopeful and Mormon Mitt Romney, Obama may be forced to explain the philosophy of the 8,000-strong Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where the Democratic presidential candidate has been a congregant for 20 years.
In announcing the morning address, to be delivered in Philadelphia, Obama would not say specifically what he will discuss, but suggested he wants to cool down the atmosphere after incendiary remarks by his pastor, retired Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., blanketed the airwaves over the past week.

I did hear that,,a call for black and white to unite, acknowledge each other’s anger and distrust, and move right on into fighting the “man”,,the capitalist.
He is a Marxist, no doubt about it. But he is not a racist and I don’t think he is divisive racially. Blacks won’t like that. Whites distrust him.
Meanwhile the capitalists have the most to fear.
I think you’re right on one point. He will go into a steady decline because Rev. Wright’s not going away.
He’s totally unelectable in the general election. While his ridiculous anecdote about his white grandmother casting aspersions on black men in the surround and making him cringe might be something we’d understand for a more ordinary fellow, we expect a guy who wants to be America’s president to be bright enough to get over it. Not that it’s likely true or anything.
I think he’ll go into a decline and the Dems will find a way to get him outta there BEFORE the election.
I tried to listen several times. I could never understand what he was saying. He certainly did not repudiate Jerimiah.
If you can't dazzle them with billience, baffle them with b.s.
Death to the rich! Power to the people!
I don't think that's sad. I think it's brilliant.
I can’t listen to the talking heads..
going to walk my WHITE dogs.
Okay, this woman compared the speech to a MLK speech.
sick
I think Barry may end up in the Looney Bin before this is all over.
The hazard for McCain is that Obama equated socialism with racism. If you are not a socialist you are a racist.
Has Reverend Wright’s Tax return been released?
Just happened on Fox....
Dull as dishwater and tone deaf. This might be the first case of a politician putting the knife in his own back.
What? It was the speech of a Charlatan. He condemed and justified Wright's hatespeech at the same time! There was nothing brilliant about it! Infact I have many more questions now about his relationship with Wright, and what he really believes.
lol... that made me laugh OUT loud.
Ok that April Ryan chick on Fox compares B Hussein’s speech to MLK’S “I have a dream “speech.
“Whites, it’s your fault my pastor is an anti-American racist!”
I believe Rush will have his show on the site today for free....all day.
Falsus in uno: Untrue in one thing, untrue in everything.
“Barack Obama has set back race relations 30 years”
There will never again be a viable black Presidential candidate, IN OUR LIFETIMES because of this.
Now he says he heard Wright talking wrong while at his church. Yesterday, and for the last week, he said he never heard any of this.
He said Rezko only gave him a little cash. After 3 more times, it’s now up to $225,000.
How many times can you change a story and not be questioned?
