In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.
“The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”
The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.

Obama gave the speech in the middle of a hotly-contested presidential primary season, but his remarks escaped scrutiny. Reporters in the room seem to have missed or ignored his most controversial statements. The liberal blogger Andrew Sullivan linked to what he described as a “transcript” of the speech, which turned out not to be a transcript at all, but instead the prepared remarks provided by the campaign. In fact, Obama, who was not using a teleprompter, deviated from his script repeatedly and at length, ad libbing lines that he does not appear to have used before any other audience during his presidential run. A local newspaper posted a series of video clips of the speech, but left out key portions. No complete video of the Hampton speech was widely released.
Obama begins his address with “a special shout out” to Jeremiah Wright, the Chicago pastor who nearly derailed Obama’s campaign months later when his sermons attacking Israel and America and accusing the U.S. government of “inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color” became public. To the audience at Hampton, Obama describes Wright as, “my pastor, the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me. He’s a friend and a great leader. Not just in Chicago, but all across the country.”
By the time Obama appeared at Hampton, Jeremiah Wright had become a political problem. Wright told The New York Times earlier that year that he would no longer be speaking on the campaign’s behalf because his rhetoric was considered too militant. And yet later in the Hampton speech Obama explicitly defends Wright from unnamed critics, a group he describes as “they”: “They had stories about Trinity United Church of Christ, because we talked about black people in church: ‘Oh, that might be a separatist church,’” Obama said mockingly.

I expect a total media blackout
Not a chance. They will claim it was a doctored tape or some such drivel.
Zer0 could murder an infant on TV and they would still vote for the son-of-a-bitch.
This just might, just might lit a torch in the apathy black voters butt...Hannity and Carlson in my opinion were duped!! Just came from reading some liberal posts and they are thrilled at the tape. They think it will energize their side even farther!
I guess $127 billion spent rebuilding a city of 300,000 isn’t considered “caring”?
Didn't Joe Biden tell us that he didn't speak the black dialect unless he wanted to? Joe was right about this.......
Perhaps during the debates, Mr. Romney will have an opportunity to ask Mr. Obama what happened 300 years ago that he won't forget.
“Where’s yo Stafford money!! (along with an Obama I Phone).”
Actually I think it was more like “Where’s yo Stafford mun-eh.”
I don’t understand the buzz about this video. I didn’t see anything we haven’t already seen or heard-the praise of Wright, the far leftist ideology. Granted he talks with a little more Afro-American twang than usual, but so did Algore and Hillary when they spoke to black audiences.
This is a guy that spoke in favor of INFANTICIDE, and there’s a written record of it. and our culture ignored it. There’s nothing else he could say that would shock me.
And this will not change the mind of anyone inclined to vote for this guy.
Yep, if I was Harry Reid I’d call that a definite attempt to put on a negro dialect.
Could only stand to listen for a few seconds of Obamao’s “street “nig***” accent. Can’t stand his voice even when to is “clean and articulate”. What a f’n phony. No one really knows this bum, or where he came from. His self constructed bio is like the assassin in “The Jackal”,no one really knows his identity, because he changed it so many times. Obama probably can’t keep his many deceiving personalities straight.
Time to Fire this poser. FUBO
I hope this is a set-up for the debate-
that would make my heart smile.

Yes to Both questions!
Is Hannity going to show the part where Obama basically calls poor people idiots who can’t take care of themselves
Oh and Obama’s fake black accent is really really horrendous..I think Hillary Clinton’s fake black accent was better than Obama’s lol
what a waste.
Surprised he didn’t break into, “Ah doan feel no ways tarred!”
