Obama's Audio Book May Hurt Him
News Max ^ | 7/8/2008 | Jim Meyers

Posted on 07/08/2008 12:40:43 PM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

Barack Obama's personal recording of the audio version of his memoir could target the Democratic presidential candidate.

... In a passage [Hugh] Hewitt has played on his radio show, Obama mimics Wright's voice and repeats a sermon attacking a society "where white folks' greed runs a world in need."

Obama is also heard swearing and quoting others using racial slurs...

Obama, in his first service at Trinity United and during the first sermon that Obama heard from the man he would later choose to be his mentor and spiritual adviser, Obama heard Rev. Wright say "white folks' greed runs a world in need." He admits this in his book "Dreams From My Father," on page 293 (paperback version). Obama quotes it.

It is also in the hardback version, too.

And Wright had a history after that of saying things like "white America, U.S. of KKKA" We can see and hear this on You Tube.

Obama should have run away from that church (and Wright) - but he didn't. He joined this church after hearing that first sermon from Rev. Wright!

A link to more info (and more of the sermon) on this below.

Ahhh, he should have run but, I think it was his wife that chose the church.

No proof of that. No excuses from Obama needed, either.

Obama knew what Wright was all about from that very first service.

Obama may try to spin this onto his wife, but he would be throwing her under the bus in the process.

There’s no way anybody but Fox will cover this.

“but he would be throwing her under the bus in the process.”

Which is why he will say nothing about it.

Most of Talk Radio will cover this extensively - as will the internet.

Fox News will cover this, too, and the MSM will have to deal with it.

It will be Obama/Wright Gate II

Talk Radio, the internet & Fox News will not let this go, which will force Obama to have to deal with it.

If he doesn’t, it will eat away at his poll numbers and that should get his attention. Why?

Dems live on polls.

Here is a really good video at YouTube.com that contains a LOT of the more troublesome quotes in his audio book - including showing the text of the portions that were conveniently omitted in the audio version... There are also small portions of clips with Barack, Michelle, and others from his campaign juxtaposed with these portions... Also included is the portion in the book about the 'Bus Stop' story - you really should hear the mocking tone... Unbelievable...

If you haven't heard these things before you will be astounded...

“Talk Radio, the internet & Fox News will not let this go, which will force Obama to have to deal with it.”

The most effective way to get this stuff out to a wide audience is TV ads put out by the 527’s. This will likely start in earnest after Labor Day.

It will be very interesting to see if some of the left leaning TV stations who are in the tank for Obama, such as NBC, decline to take the ad.

McCain will probably chastice the 527 and seek to distance himself from those messages.

I don’t like it. It degrades the flag.

Thanks, I've been looking for a video like that. I remembered seeing a YouTube video a while back with audio from his book but couldn't find the link and wondered if the video had been removed. I'm glad somebody still has it.

Did he read from the original 1995-6 version, or the reworked 2004 version?

“McCain will probably chastice the 527 and seek to distance himself from those messages.”

As long as the truth gets out to the voters, that’s ok by me...and likely prudent politically.

Agreed. Extremely inappropriate.
