LIVE THREAD - Under Pressure, Obama Prepares for Race and Unity Speech
Fox News ^ | 18 March 2008

Posted on 03/18/2008 6:12:13 AM PDT by SE Mom

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.

Obama is a phony. Simple as that.

%%%%

He has always been an empty suit who has a special talent for speechifying. He came to MD to campaign for the white Democrat running for senator against the black Republican. He went to the largley black communities around DC and made it sound so logical why the black R candidate was unacceptable, and the white Jewish career pol was the correct choice.

All of us who said we'd never vote for McCain, best take a look at the alternative, and deal with McCain once he is elected.

We can't have a Racist in the White House..

notice how cool the applause is.

It is not enthusiastic it is barely scripted politeness.

The more he talks the deeper he digs his hole.

Black politicians have been running the South Side of Chicago

Yes like Dorothy Tillman, whom Obama supported.

The Alderman and the Senator, April 16, 2007

I was surprised, and horrified, to learn that Barack Obama endorsed Alderman Dorothy Tillman for re-election in Tuesday's runoff. For those of you who aren't local or who wisely avoid the open sewer of Chicago politics, Dorothy Tillman is the disastrously corrupt, incompetent, and even demented alderman of the south side's long-decrepit 3rd Ward.

She's a lock for the city council's worst member (in an exceedingly crowded field of worthless time-servers), a politician whose sole purpose is to employ her children, stoke demagoguery (her signature issue is a quixotic effort for slavery reparations), and maintain her own North Korea-like cult of personality

Re: "yes obama has jumped the shark..."

No, CNN and the MSM will call it the "Speech of the Century!"
