LIVE THREAD - Under Pressure, Obama Prepares for Race and Unity Speech
Fox News ^ | 18 March 2008

Posted on 03/18/2008 6:12:13 AM PDT by SE Mom

Barack Obama is preparing to deliver a major address Tuesday on race, politics and unifying the country after being hounded by questions about his relationship to a pastor whose sermons have been laced with anti-American invective.

In a speech whose religious significance could compare to one given in December by former GOP presidential hopeful and Mormon Mitt Romney, Obama may be forced to explain the philosophy of the 8,000-strong Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where the Democratic presidential candidate has been a congregant for 20 years.

In announcing the morning address, to be delivered in Philadelphia, Obama would not say specifically what he will discuss, but suggested he wants to cool down the atmosphere after incendiary remarks by his pastor, retired Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., blanketed the airwaves over the past week.

From the speech: We can dismiss Reverend Wright as a crank or a demagogue

Or we can dismiss him as a crazy uncle

Let’s hope he doesn’t mention Hillary. She’s such a buzz-kill.

do these black people I see around me think of me the way Jeremiah Wright does?

Wow, this has been eyeopening to me as well. Is it any wonder why black people have heavy chips on their shoulders? This certainly explains to me Michele Obama's disdain for the white man.......I wondered why a woman with so much to be proud of, having gone so far with her brain, an educated, bright, wealthy woman STILL feels the way she does, it's no mystery that young, uneducated blacks jump right up onto the reverend's bandwagon, declaring themselves victims. I have been SO naive.....

Barack basically admits lying in his speech. He slyly puts in there how he had heard on occasion some controversial statements by the pastor. The other day he said he never heard such things, but the facts started coming out and now he has to try and spin it.

Bottom line is Obama is no agent for change - just another lying, spinning, flip-flopping phony politician

On CNN,

white America doesn't understand black ways of speaking.

We need to focus on building a vocabulary.

Katrina was an example of the racial gap.

Hussein ObamaSamma can put as much makeup and lipstick on his personal pig, Jeremiah Adolph Wright as he can get on the pig.

The pig will still be a racist POS, whose cult is Anti American and anti White.

Hey Hussein ObamaSamma, Wright is still an ugly and racist pig. You are a brain washed member of Wrights Hate America and Whites cult.

Since his speech was posted, maybe his team is reading reactions to it around the net, to get a feel for how it’s going to go over with the country.
