The presidential race exploded last night on Sean Hannity's television show.
The explosion came with the revelation by Tucker Carlson's The Daily Caller of a stunning 2007, exclusively obtained unedited video tape of then-Senator Barack Obama making blatantly racial appeals to an audience of black ministers. And doing it in a southern accent that by now all of America knows the man who was famously raised in Hawaii and Indonesia and migrated to California, Massachusetts, and Chicago -- simply doesn't have.
The audience at Virginia's historically black Hampton University included Obama's own pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Whom Obama glowingly praised during the talk -- and later famously disowned. In the recent bestseller The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House by former New York Times journalist Edward Klein, the Reverend Wright, in a lengthy taped interview, said Obama considered Wright's "problem" to be one of having "to tell the truth." Essentially accusing his famous ex-parishioner of being a habitual liar.
The difference between the Obama delivering this speech and the Obama of presidential teleprompter fame will do nothing to change that impression.
The speech was filled with racially incendiary language reminiscent of rapper Kanye West's infamous televised charge that when it came to helping the stricken New Orleans, "George Bush doesn't care about black people."

Yawn..... there is nothing new on that tape.
Secondly, who writes this dribble?
“Whom Obama glowingly praised during the talk — and later famously disowned.” That is not even a sentence.
Most non-partisan voters don't even start paying attention until about 2 weeks before an election.
Yes. Compare the media's treatment of this video with Romney's 47% video discussing campaign strategy. This is Obama's 47% video, and he doesn't come off as Mr. Nice Guy.
Thank you!!!
We are all on the same team.
I'm in Ohio doing what I can.
You're absolutely right. We (the nation as a whole) have become so inured to Obama excesses that nothing short of a video of the murder and dismemberment of a child (please excuse the image) would move a significant number of voters away from the Obamanation.
It's not their fault that the the public has become inured to Obama's excesses.
Of course, to that audience 9/11 simply meant "The chickens have come home to roost!"
Doesn't matter. If those are the only ones who vote for him, then he loses. The real target is the bunch of middle-class semi-libs who voted for him in 2008 out of idealism.
You almost sound as if you know something the rest of us don't?
I hope this is just the first of multiple tapes...since it wasn’t a tremendous bombshell.
BTW, I don’t have cable, so I get a good ‘read’ on what the networks put out. If not for the internet, I would not know about this tape yet. When the Romney tape came out, they ran it two nights in a row on nightline....you’d think the existence of an ‘Obama tape’ would get at least a short mention. Nothing so far.
WTH is the $400M in super-PAC money to blanket the airwaves with anti-Obama ads? I’ve seen one — one — so far. Do the Repubs want to lose?
Yeh, we know what Buckwheat is. Nonetheless, let’s run with it. Call Buckwheat a racist, a race hustler and con-man. When people want to know what you’re talking about, point them to the video.
If the rats can use the 47% Romney tape, we can use the racist obuma video.
People have been looking for a reason to hit Buckwheat hard. Here it is.
I agree with your take on the media and their pre-2008 template that Obama was a post-racial figure. They censored, edited, or totally ignored anything that ran contrary to that template.
The alternate media did what they could, but it was impossible to overcome the pro-Obama drumbeat of the MSM.
Now the question is: When confronted with overwhelming evidence that Obama has a race hustler side, will the MSM keep the blinders on or will they do the job they failed to do prior to 2008?
Contrary to what the nattering nabobs around here write, this was not knowledge commonly known to a majority of voters. It’s better late than never that it’s revealed to them now. Then if they choose to re-elect a two faced man intent on dividing the nation, they do so with full knowledge of what they are doing. I think this info will cause a lot of them to think twice and either not vote at all or vote Romney.
The tape is a damp firecracker. It’s certainly no bombshell. Net effect; zero.
Then there is Obama’s VP.
Joe Biden to a largely black audience: “They want to put y’all back in chains!!!”
Obama isn’t a latent homosexual by definition. He’s in the closet. He knows he’s a homosexual, but he doesn’t want anyone else in America to know that he is, particularly black Americans. Just ask Larry Sinclair or Donald Young’s family. Well, I guess the Young family is too scared to talk about it, and if I were in their shoes, I would be, too.
Only a because the networks will not show the Two Obamas, side by side, as did Hannity. The black-talkin’ brutha, praising Reverend Wright, and the white Senator Obama, scolding him. Very powerful, presented as a split screen.
And the crowd cheering 9/11 was disgraceful.
You are exactly right.>>
I wonder if Anderson Cooper will change his mind about voting for Obama again. That was a pretty sweet diss flung his way by the future President.
-- and nothin' really changes, except the news coverage quiets down and Anderson Cooper is on to something else."
The only things that jumped out at me after watching the short version was how poorly written the speech was with its insipid references to “taking the bullet out”; and the fact that O’s eyes scarcely left the printed page as he struggled to read it. I particularly liked the part where he said “twenty-seven...er....two hundred seventy-five million...”
