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

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.

If this man becomes POTUS, this country is in real trouble.That thought truly frightened me the other night after I heard the taped speeches of Rev. Wright.

He made me wait over 30 minutes to hear this speech. I refuse to give him one more minute of my time listening to this.
To: Kozak
Except he wants to do his “investing” by holding a gun to my head and robbing me of my last dime in higher taxes.

Now he’s making the racial case for Marxism, and claiming religion advocates stealing from others to give to people you like.

summary of Obama speech: “Blame whitey”
I hear the gentle scraping of razors taking obama stickrs off of bumpers.
“former paster” is major horse hockey. The whole Obama speech is a racist as wright.

a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black; Latino and Asian, rich and poor, young and old
According to your church's 'Black Value System', all the other races are your useful idiots.
he needs to start his own church
or maybe just take over the one he attends
he lies with a straight face
but something in his eyes says he knows he’s been found out...

His idea of American Prosperity is to tax the rich out of existence.....

What about individual responsibility? What about out of wedlock births approaching 70%? What about school drop out rates? Enough of blacks as victims. That has been the problem.

He will get the Dem nomination. No he won't. He can never win the general election and the Dems know it.
