Question: Does it matter that Obama was talking about the fact that the Constitution permitted slavery and designated slaves as 3/5 of a person?

I’m NOT defending Obama. There are plenty of issues to attack him on that do not require us to support aspects of the Constitution that have since been amended. But this kind of stuff only feeds into the liberal’s characterization of us as racists.

Can we focus on Wright, Ayers, and Rezko, or maybe Obama’s pro-choice stance, or maybe other aspects of his platform that we find terrible?

Or - are we going to defend slavery and criticize Obama for criticizing the Constitution’s recognition of slavery???????

Obama - “The Constitution represents the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this very day.”

continues to this very day...you agree with that.
