I just read Obama's speech and have tears running down my face ...

Posted on 03/18/2008 10:53:47 AM PDT by HD1200

I have seen a like intro referencing crying at several left wing message boards a dozen times already.

OK, this is what we are up against people. Crybabies that start crying over political speeches! Unbeleivable! Just who ARE these people that would cry over a political speech given solely because the guy was backed into a corner over an issue? To CRY over it?

The only crying I was doing was in laughter hearing Hussein lecturing white people about how more apologies for slavery are due.

Leftist/liberals operate on EMOTION ONLY!

If they applied ANY logic, they’d be conservatives or libertarians.

We’re DOOMED!!!!

IMHO Obama has been plotting a presidential run for decades. He's a sly weasel who cannot be trusted!

This post on the Rush Limbaugh Thread proves my point.

I found this interesting, from the article: “When Mr. Obama arrived at Harvard Law School later that year, where he fortified himself with recordings of Mr. Wright's sermons, he was delivering stirring speeches as a student leader in the classic oratorical style of the black church.”

He “fortified” himself with recordings of Wright's sermons? he listened to these sermons over and over again, yet he was imbued with the style alone, and not the substance?

Obama is a lying hypocrite.

The most important aspect: Obama threw his white grandmother under the bus. Equating her with the hatemongerer Wright.

America was introduced to Obama’s grandmother as a white racist.

What an a**!!

No, he did not win the nomination. This will hang on him forever.

Obama said today;

“Like the anger within the black community, these resentments aren’t always expressed in polite company. But they have helped shape the political landscape for at least a generation. Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends. Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism.

Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze – a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many. And yet, to wish away the resentments of white Americans, to label them as misguided or even racist, without recognizing they are grounded in legitimate concerns – this too widens the racial divide, and blocks the path to understanding.”

In other words, if you don’t see things my way, you are a racist. If you don’t support my Marxist ideology, you are a racist.

If Obama truly wanted to improve racial relations he would have spoken about INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY and how the war on poverty and liberal agenda have destroyed black neighborhoods and families. He would have made the case for supporting school vouchers.

Not to mention, it takes a lot of nerve to attack talk radio and defend “Reverend” Wright.

It does not matter. Conservatives, Hispanics, Asians and some women (Hillary protest) and blue dog democrats will not vote for Obama. He may get the dem nomination but he will not carry one southern state / the heartland. Most people will not let one feel good speech prepared over several days with advisers erase 20 years of association and friendship with a white hating pastor that state God Da*n America, that Obama has called his mentor, had him as his spiritual adviser to his campaign, married him and his wife, baptized his kids, wrote a book about one of his sermons in which Obama refers to whites as CRACKERS. McCain will walk into the POTUS. Obama is finished. Take that to the bank.

They’re crying for all the wrong reasons. Worse than sheep; sheep have been known to come in out of the rain.

A more rational series of responses to his lies can be found here:

Obama lectures us on race, gender and equality. Obama's speech text

hahaha, I love that scene, the best part is, after the guy leaves his office, corleone shakes his head, seems to be saying “sheesh, what do I have to do get this day over with?

He said during an interview:

Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely -- just as I'm sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed."

He might be sure, but he is wrong. Dead wrong. If I ever attended a church where the priest or minister said that the government invented AIDs to harm blacks, was pushing crack on city streets to get blacks addicted, or some such other spewing hatred, I'd get up and leave. That stuff is as sick as some of bin Ladens rantings.

They’re probably crying because he just blew any chance they may have had to win the general election.

“And he wants race, or at least his alleged ability to reconcile the races, to be a major theme of his campaign.”

We must unite to defeat the capitalist pig. Socialism is the only way to unite blacks and whites.

I was crying tears of laughter when that scumbag Obama snuck those cheap shots against Hillary and McCain into his speech. Barack Hussein Obama is above it all, you see....

And blaming Reagan and Conservatives for racism.

Especially the part where he said anyone who voted for Reagan or listens to talk radio is a racist.

Par for the course. Standard leftwing "red-meat" for the DUmb mASSES..........

First he said he was unaware of Wright’s comments now he says he is.

I did start to read the transcript. It was much too wordy and rambling to finish. Obama can say nothing that will justify his attending for 20 years, the Church where Wright was "preaching" bigoted black racist rhetoric against all none blacks.

Obama and his wife and children had to have absorbed those rantings. His refusal to cover his heart, say the pledge, wear a flag pin, having a flag with a picture of Chi Guevara hanging in the office of his Houston campaign headquarters were all coded subtle messages that were being sent to those that think as Wright and he think. A 'vote for me and we will change things'.
