I heard about half of the speech, were we listening to two different speeches? It was one of the least effectual speeches he has made, at least, to those outside his base.
A perfect example of calling the court case before the jury deliberates.
If libs didn’t have wishful thinking they would have nothing.
It will be funny. Obama will have the votes but he’ll be limping to the convention losing many of the remaining states. Obama is a lying sack of $&** and won’t disown his so-called anti-American, Jew hating pastor. He has sown the seeds for his defeat.
Once the glow/fog lifted I only saw a politician throw raw meat to his flock. The stage is now set for a national RACE revolt if Barack Hussein Obama is not elected by his party and his country – the Revs Jackson and Sharpton are openly threatening the nation with a true uprising led by all the malcontents, anti-American, whiners of the world will take over. Obama is just one more politician who is one of "the most leftwing Senate candidates Illinois has ever seen, a me-too vote for Kennedy and Clinton to raise taxes and toady to the teachers unions. Obama supports abortion rights, socialized medicine, and affirmative action, and he opposes private gun ownership, against the "live-birth abortion" bill which was designed to protect live babies born of botched abortions. Obama voted "present" on an Illinois bill to ban partial-birth abortion, and "present" on a bill to notify parents when their minor children seek an abortion. He said, "I opposed DOMA [the Defense of Marriage Act] in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying."
Obama is a Socialist who is all in favor of giving welfare to anyone along with unconstitutional Universal Health Care…..this election is more about “do you want a Socialist country or a Democratic country”.
If this is correct,(smiling), pull out the champagne glassed and I’ll see you guys at the inaugural ball.
What a hump.
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.
What’s this moron smoking?
What tripe-—this guy is just a blogger on an obscure blog whose rhetoric and turn of phrase shows he’s
learned a little something from other high-minded types (like Obama) and seem to want to attract “The Master’s” attention and maybe earn them a minor post in an BHO Administration. Obama is as big a race hustler as Sharpton or Jackson, which is why they’re on his side now-—his 20 plus year relationship with Reverend Wright tells you who he is, but it’s still NOT all you need to know about him.
We need to know how these things work, and we should know
by now, because
we’ve seen enough of them/ It’s no accident that it’s Wright is being focused on right now;(it takes the focus
off Michele Obama, which just a few weeks ago seemed to be
“all we had”.
(it is equally
no accident that people are coming up with tripe like what was just posted here. WRIGHT IS SERVING A USEFUL PURPOSE FOR HIS BOY BARACK, AND THEY BOTH KNOW IT——
HE’S ALLOWING OBAMA TO SANITIZE HIMSELF AT WRIGHT’S OWN EXPENSE. OBAMA, WHO’S PRESENTED HIMSELF AS BEING “ABOVE RACE’ JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE A MENTOR WHO WALLOWS EXCLUSIVELY IN RACE AS A WEAPON. SO OBAMA , IN THIS RITUAL OF EXPIATION IN FRONT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
comes out smelling like a rose, like the bold and fearless “healer” he’s always presented himself as. Of course, it’s the tag-team of Obama and Wright who have CREATED this whole current episode of “racial strife”.
But no one will pick up on that. Boy, are we being played for fools once again.
Now they will rally behind the dynamic duo of "OM" with supporters that believe America can do no "right". They believe that America is the cause of all that is wrong with the world. Michelle can be proud again and not be ashamed of her rotten country.
They believe if America was more "left" immediate nirvana will spread through out the world and we will all get along MARVELOUSLY.
Where the words freedom and liberty are no longer spoken. They've been traded for words like security, safety nets and entitlements.
Whaaaat? That speech sucked!
“Any Christian recognizes that a man who is filled with as much anger as Rev Wright has is entertaining a few demons of his own.
The members of his congregation were inspired to adapt Wright’s anger. That’s not Christian.
Obama’s “weird uncle” defense doesn’t bode well when common sense is applied.
Obama has said Wright is his spiritual adviser.
When you chose a weird uncle as your adviser, you get weird advice.
Obama’s supporters seem more interested in seeing him win than his past accomplishments or his foundation.
A man who claims to embrace Christianity as well as partial birth abortion demonstrates that he serves two masters.”
Donks are measuring the curtains in the Oval Office.
Morons!
It’s not even slightly over. Mr. Obama probably wowed the true believers, who are already hypnotized to respond to “hope” “change” and “ordinary people can do extraordinary things.” Motivational speakers have been making millions on that pap for decades. Look for a smarmy Chicken Soup for the Black Soul in a bookstore near you within months.
This is an election for the leader of the United States. Pretty speeches won’t get the job done and the majority of Americans are smart enough to understand that.
Let Mr. Obama go on making nice racial speeches (with a decidedly black slant) somewhere else. He may do some good.

I couldn’t have written a better response to Reed at the SD Trib. In fact, I DID write it. LOL.
I understand he made a comparison of Wright’s hate-talk to the conservative talk show hosts. That’s just trading on the fact that too many people never listen to Rush or Shawn (sp) or Michael - they just take the drive-by media’s word for it.
Obama is turning out to be just like Hitlery: he will do or say anything for power.
There was never any question that liberals and elitists were going to swoon over whatever tripe Obama emitted.
But I don't think he helped himself at all with middle America today. The Jesse-Jackson-izing of Obama proceeds apace.
I don’t get it.
Last week, Obama said he was never in Church while the vile stuff was being said.
Today he says he might have been there, but also gives a great speech, and this somehow obviates the fact that he lied????
From a friend in Long Island: "Hillary is dying, literally dying, with the way this is turning out."
It was exactly the time of lofty meaningless rhetoric that appeals to "political media" types, but falls completely flat on the average American who works for a living. They are not as enamored of intellectual navel gazing fluff.
He did well enough to cut off Hillary's hope of a revival, but he did not bury the issue with the general electorate, or evil talk radio.
