Addressing a packed congregation at one of the city's largest black churches, Senator Barack Obama invoked his own absentee father to deliver a sharp message to black men, saying "we need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception."

Would they have praised Bush for saying this?
Never mind, I know the answer.
Did you hear what he said toward the end of his rant on absentee black fathers? He used it to announce the need for new entitlement programs to help the "poor".....
Ok, enough with John McCain.... just kidding. McCain, as flawed as he is, is becoming by default and contrast with BHO, a better and better candidate.
I just wish he would strongly support a wall or fence across our southern border and agressive domestic oil exploration and development and building of refineries.
Ditch the corn. End Food to fuel requirements TODAY! <<< Another good campaign issue he could start pushing. Even the lefties might get onboard.
If passed, the legislation would increase enforcement of child support payments and strengthen domestic violence prevention services. - because that's been working so well already, so let's do more of it!
"We need fathers to realize that responsibility doesn't just end at conception." - Last time I checked, responsibility BEGINS at conception.
"I know the toll it took on me, not having a father in the house" - Your grandfather did a much better job than Hussein Sr. could ever do, but he's just some raving racist now...
...wishing that I could be home for my girls and my wife more than I am right now." - We'll make sure that happens come November.
Bill Cosby has been saying the same thing about black fathers for a couple years now....and for HIS pains he's been crucified on a cross of coal by liberals, both black and white.
Even that consumate ass, Bill O'Reilly, praised Obama and his speech yesterday on Laura Ingraham's new late afternoon show.
Rush dissected the speech yesterday. What the presstitutes don't mention is the REST of Obama's speech....the totally Marxist plans he has in store for us if he's elected. Too much to go into here.....but if you get hold of a text, read it and weep.
Irresponsible fathers of the world, unite. You have EVERYTHING to gain if Uncle Karl wins the November elction.

Put down that Colt 45, bro...
How many swing voters are stupid enough to be swayed by this stunt?
First off it a 40. Secondly nobody gun tell a man to put down nutin unless a man want to be putin it down. A man gun have a 40 or a 45 when a man want to have a 40 or a 45, ain’t nobody gun tell a man when to have a 45 or a 40 unless a man want not to be having one or be having one. Also nobody gun tell a man if he having a 40 or a 45. A man gun choose hes 40 or hes 45 if he be wanting one or the other, some times it be 40, next time be 45. Other times it be 45 and the next be 40. Ain’t no telling which be which some time one, some time other one. 45, 40 no one be telling as man which one it be, cuz a man gun choose which one when.
Those Colt 45’s come in quarts, man...
The problem with Obama, like most Dems, refuses to pinpoint the most important SINGLE cause of the cultural degradation in much of the black community. That cause is the destruction of the 2 parent black family. The precipitate cause of this tragedy was the welfare state created by LBJ and (mostly) the DemocRAT Party. But since Barack He who must not be middle named Obama wants to extend and expand the welfare state to all of America, he is careful to avoid drawing the correct conclusions. Oh he gives lip service to the notion of personal responsibility, but is extremely careful to avoid any implication of the DemocRAT Party.
When you point out that the Democratic Party’s entire history and policies have been antithetical to the best interests of the black community, and that to the extent that a major political party is responsible for any political and civil liberty that black people have, they owe it to the Republican Party, and even when you can prove that historically and factually the most amazing case of political cognitive dissonance then occurs.
The common response is, well that may be true but only the Democrats are “for us”. They usually go on to an entirely erroneous understanding of Nixon’s Southern strategy, a distortion of Berry Goldwater’s principled opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and completely ignore the fact that the Democratic Party was founded amongst other things, to extend slavery into the territory’s. The Democratic Party opposed 13, 14, and 15th amendment to the United States Constitution, reconstruction, every bit of foundational civil rights legislation from 1866 to 1968, instituted Jim Crow in the Southern states, refused to enact antilynching laws, and most importantly destroyed the two-parent black family with Lyndon Johnson’s welfare state. When you point out the fact that the modern-day Democratic Party is home to the pro-abortion forces that have enhanced the wildly disproportionate abortion rate in the black community, that doesn’t seem to register either.
The black community is in the throes of the worst political brainwashing outside of the Soviet Union and I just don’t know what can be done about it. I am constantly engaged in debates with people in my community and they are determined to vote for Democrats despite the clear and present evidence of their utterly destructive policies. The staggeringly high level of political cognitive dissonance amongst my people is frightening.
