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

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.

“we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.”
oh yeah? That’s like saying that all black voters will flock to you in the general election regardless of your policies. Fat chance!........hey, wait a minute.........

Nitpicking, but David and Goliath, Moses and Pharaoh, the Christians in the lions den, Ezekiels field of dry bones, is he talking about Daniel? If so, they need to work on Bible Study more and politics less. At the core of Liberation Theology is the notion that Africans are the true chosen people. By saying that these stories are the stories he was taught to identify with at Trinity is not as warm and fuzzy as it would appear at first glance. Because they are taught to identify with these stories as the one chosen people, and that everybody else has oppressed them and kept them from achieving their rightful place as masters.

If you are white and Obama gets elected you better give up your house, school, job and freedom voluntarily to a black family or he will take it from you. Don't look back, just head for the hills.

Not only did he play the race card, he played the trump card. He just told the DNC they’d better not dump him or he’ll take the support of black folks with him.

Its always been equal opportunity in Chicago.
@@@@
One of our local talk show hosts states that Michelle Obama’s father, who she says had a blue collar job, was earning $40.000 in the 1960s as an operative for Chicago politicians.
No wonder Obama decided on a career as a “community activist” after his extremely elite education. It was pure nepotism - father-in-law helping son=in-law.
