Well I read it fairly closely.
And I suppose it’s about as good as he could do but I’m not convinced it’s going to fly.
Couple of points....
...he makes a big deal about himself being half white. He throws his own grandmother under the bus for her alleged remark that black men scared her.
....he remarks on “conservative” talk show hosts who expose “bogus” racial divides but who don’t further address REAL racial issues.
...The Ashley story makes no sense.
“Will he wear a flag pin?”
I guess they couldn’t find one;
‘cause he STILL doesn’t have one on his lapel!
They’ll have to use subtitles.
No channeling MLK today?
We’re going with the “white guy” serious voice today.
Hey, a Lincoln phrase. This guy must have had Biden write this for him.
If you read Obama's supposed speech at Drudge it would appear that Obama is going to "pull the race card" when in fact the real issue is about the possible lack of judgement of a Presidential candidate. Maybe he can camoflage his lack of judgement by painting it with racism. But then, what does one expect from one who would remain for twenty years in a hate-filled church.
“BO gets standing O.”
They’ve decided to go with his core supporters and do a hail mary pass.
We the people....mention of Independence Hall. Declaration of Independence was stained by this nation’s original sin of slavery.
OMFG! He’s Channeling LINCOLN!!!!
Nope he’s got his Harvard voice all on
Why is Obama talking about the racists founders for? Doesn’t he know they were all slave-owners?
This is the OSama PICTURE that will bury him like the bunny NASA pic that undid sKerry!
Has it started yet, sheesh!
That’s exactly what he’s reading...wonder how it leaked.
Why didn’t they start the proceeding with The Pledge of Allegience?
Good morning TN:)
Not that I know of- I highly doubt it!
Is he trying to say words don’t matter?
Four minutes in and he still hasn’t said jack.
” this nations original sin of slavery”
How many times does the word “slavery/slaves” appear in his speech? I’m losing count.
