Did Obama address why he stopped a bill in Illinois that would have protected the life of born infants, instead of their being tortuously dehydrated to death, after botched abortions?

Did he address why his chief regret in Congress is that he did not try to kill their attempt to save Terri Schiavo from being killed by tortuous dehydration, at the desires of her husband?

Did Barack Obama say why he is in favor of torture-murder?

I thought it was a good speech...although I probably have a different perspective from many since I’m 1/2 Anglo and 1/2 Hispanic. I know what it’s like to straddle the racial divisions and try to come to terms with it. I find what Wright said to be awful but....ignoring that anger doesn’t make it go away...neither does throwing money at it nor pandering. Obama’s bi-racial background seems to put him in a unique position to do something positive about this.

I’m still not voting for Obama because of the issues - abortion being a biggie, etc etc. but I liked the speech.

I write this not just because I think this will dampen the Rev. Wright controversy. I write this because Obama did an extraordinary job of presenting himself as the candidate of "the better angels of our nature,"

What a hump.

Byrd, who was 28 when he wrote the letter, told Bilbo he would never fight in an integrated armed forces. "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds," he wrote. This man Sen. Byrd is 3rd in line for the Presidency. as I type...and was a proud member of the KKK.

The DBM is delusional if they associate nominee with general election winner.

Obama speech was racist. he pulled FAR to the left and has solidified the marxist core of the Democrat Party.

Chaos theory will be fun if the superdelegates “get” the liability of Obama.

Obama destroyed any chance he had to win today. His defense of the bigot and America hater Rev. Wright was pathetic.

Wake up folks, Obama is a big joke.

His defense of Wright by blaming slavery was weak and pathetic.

Obama is a racist liar.

These crap stories were written before he ever gave the speech. They’d be saying this no matter what he said. It’s evident because his speech sucked. It was hardly a great speech.

His supporters (including MSM) heard someone they like and so it’s a great speech. Had these puff pieces ready before the speech was made. Those that opposed him still oppose him. He’s trying to get Wright’s sermons off the air. This stuff will damage him because it brings up questions he doesn’t want to answer.

- NEVER heard him say this stuff?
- Not there for the God **** AMerica sermon? Have eyewitnesses and secret service logs to show he was?
- Knew what he said because 1 year ago Wright and him talked about having to distance Wright from his campaign?
- Over 20 years with a black racist pastor? Never got up and left even though strongly disagree? Never privately or publicly challenged pastor’s wrong statements?
- Never left? Once at a church, you never leave? If you never leave, you don’t try to correct pastor errors?
- These hate sermons are online by the church for sale!

He’s going down. This black liberation theology is hateful and wicked and not from God. These people look at the world through a prism of racial hatred and divisiveness. Everything has race in it. It’s all about race. Just like with gays, it’s all about sexual perversion. It’s all about casting yourself as victims and from victim status they derive their legitimacy and ‘power’. If they aren’t victims, they have no legitimacy and no ‘power’.

....................Agreed, it remains relevant that a man who wants to be President donated $22,000 last year to a lunatic racist “pastor” he calls his spirtual adviser.

This should doom him.

I hadn’t heard this before!
Enough about Michelle Obama bitching about never having enough money to feed the kids!

Reminds me of 2004 when some blogger praised the performance of his Democrat candidate at a debate PRIOR to the debate taking place. Oops. Hit “post” too soon I guess.

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” Barack Hussein Obama

In his many months of stumping, Mr. Obama has rarely bid farewell to an audience the way he did at a morning event in Monaca, Pa. “God bless you and God bless America!” he proclaimed.

"We cannot let these idiots tell us that questions about Wright in the general election are off-limits, which you know they will try. "

Yeah, and the loudest voice among them will be McCain.
