The 1991 video shows a younger Obama, then president of the Harvard Law Review, speaking at a peaceful, racial equality rally led by professor Derrick Bell.
The event was in support of Bell, who was angry over Harvard's failure to offer tenure to black professors.
Obama is seen embracing Bell, described by Pollak as the "Jeremiah Wright of academia."

The radical left is beyond the reach of reason. They turn logic completely on it’s head. They believe policies based on race are not inherently racist. They believe that when the government forcibly takes $1 from someone, and gives $.50 to another entity to spend it’s more stimulative. They believe allowing people to keep their own money is a subsidy. Try having a rational discussion with an occupier or rabid Omamaist. It’s impossible. I would like to take this opportunity to make my standard pitch. While there are a myriad of problems confronting us no meaningful or lasting change will ever be made as long as there is public schooling. Some people are so far beyond stupid today because of public schools.
I agree with others here - perhaps there is more, and it is being timed for release. its all very good. I am just worried that one more leftist connection won't matter to those who have already dismissed the scores out there already.
The only ones calling it a ‘bombshell’ are the elite media...who hid from the public for years and years but most importantly the last4 years.
Oh and the video of Michelle Obama in an illegal ‘occupy’ at the Harvard law office....
the mainstream press covers-up five things more damaging to Obama than this every day—
Well that was the whole point Breitbart was making.
The mainstream media were the ‘gatekeepers’ to keep this info and lots more from being reported about the Obama’s. Both of em. Doing the exact opposite of what their job is supposed to be.
Corrupt media.
I don't think that there is any way he can avoid the subject of Dr. Bell, who is now deceased and won't be able to discuss his relationship with Obama.
Will President Obama throw the deceased Dr. Bell under the bus like he threw Rev. Wright under the bus during the 2008 presidential campaign?
I don't know, but it will be interesting to watch and find out how President Obama handles this very sensitive subject of Dr. Bell.

Hate to say, but I ‘d have go with “I don’t know.”
I knew Obama was a racist, Communist tool in 2008; it was pretty obvious to the most casual observer.
I don’t think this will make it any clearer to the sheeple now, than it was then.
Ok never mind then.
We've seen it before. It was made clear how inept and clownish Al Franken is, but liberals didn't care. They thought it was "cute". Sarah Palin has her e-mail stolen, is called every dirty name in the book, the "c" word, the "t" word, but the libs shrug it off. She either "deserves it", or they say those words are no big deal because they are "true". You simply can't make any headway with people whose minds are warped by liberalism.

The average American has no clue who this guy is. I didn’t either until all this came out. While I (and most other political junkies) realize he’s still the same radical today as he was then, I’m not the same person today as I was in college. I don’t think many people are so I bet most people will give him the benefit of the doubt. Hugging some guy before he gives a speech was no big deal. He would’ve had to hug someone like Charles Manson. And then he (and the press) would have just chalked it off as some youthful indiscretion.

I distinguish between the followers and leaders.
The followers are dumb. They can’t follow logic or reason, and have no critical thinking skills. They go with whatever sounds good or looks good.
The leaders on the other hand are pure evil. Not misguided. Not mistaken. For example take the minimum wage. Pick a random leader of the left....Obama is visible. Obama sells the followers the baloney that the minimum wage is about a living wage yada yada yada, and that he cares about them. Obama knows very well the minimum wage kills jobs for low income people. These people end up on welfare, and the government grows. That is his goal. To make people dependent on the government.
Yep. Shapiro said a lot more will be coming out next week.
One more excessively hyped gotcha against the polished turd in the WH that disappoints on so many levels. This seemed like a redux of Judicial Watch and Bill Clinton with every week “we have the smoking gun” only to find out it was a model of a pee shooter.
Ok, we were shown the messiah supporting a radical. So what? To make an impact we had to know exactly what makes his association as dangerous as his associations with the vile rev Wright, Dorn, Bill Ayers, Van Jones, etc. But unless I fell asleep last night watching Hannity I sure did not hear anything.
I admit I know nothing about this person so Breitbart/Hannity include the details of why we should add this to the list of reasons to be disgusted with this president.

I've owned my copy since 1995. Obama's mentioned in it.
But I'm certain the author knew in 1995 that he was going to be President and it was all a conservative slur put in print eighteen years ago.
Wouldn’t matter one iota even if the video showed Obama embracing the devil himself.
