"ELOQUENT, BUT OUTRAGEOUS"!!!!
First, he proved himself to be a blatant liar! He had claimed prior to this speech that he had only heard one or two comments. Now he admits he DID attend some of those racists rants. HE IS BY HIS OWN WORDS--A LIAR.Second, he refused to disassociate himself from Wright. That in itself is outrageous.
Third, he attempted to defend Wright's comments by asking everyone to put Wright's comments in the "BLACK PERSPECTIVE"!!That is absolutely outrageous--and it is an indirect endorsement (back door) of the hate and venom that was spewed there and other black churches.
Fourth, he insulted everyone listening by saying that he could not disassociate himself from his GRANDMOTHER--therefore, he could not disassociate himself from his Pastor either. How outrageous can you possibly get?
I guess that Obama has never heard the phrase, "YOU CAN PICK YOUR FRIENDS--YOU CANNOT PICK YOUR FAMILY"!
The entire speech was "ELOQUENT, BUT OUTRAGOUS"!--basically telling the white community, "That's just the way black churches are--DEAL WITH IT"!
He blew a once in a lifetime opportunity to ask EVERYONE to stop spewing venomous, racial hatred (as he is uniquely qualified to do just that) by demanding the black churches and pastors take the lead in promising to STOP IT RIGHT NOW. However, he 'took the low road"--as decided not to. How sad.
I'll just tack on that he did "pick" his Grandma. He picked her up and tossed her under the bus by suggesting she was "racist" in his speech last night.
Thanks alot, "Grandson"...
