Video Surfaces of Obama In 2007 Suggesting Racism Slowed Aid To Post-Katrina New Orleans
October 02, 2012
It's the Obama speech on race you probably haven't heard. In June 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama told a mostly black audience of ministers that the country's leaders "don't care about" New Orleans residents, suggesting the city was neglected in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina because of institutional racism, according to a an unedited video uncovered by The Daily Caller.
In the address, delivered during the upswing of the Democratic presidential primary season, candidate Obama specifically criticizes in outspoken terms the decision not to waive a federal law known as the Stafford Act that requires communities hit by disasters to match 10 percent of federal aid.
When 9/11 happened in New York City, they waived the Stafford Act. And that was the right thing to do, he tells the crowd at Hampton University in Virginia. When Hurricane Andrew struck in Florida, people said, 'Look at this devastation. We don't expect you to come up with your own money. Here, here's the money to rebuild. We're not going wait for you to scratch it together, because you're part of the American family.' " Obama, echoing rapper Kanye West's infamous anti-Bush remarks a couple years earlier, then argues that New Orleans was treated differently, suggesting the reason was that the city is mostly black.

Because digital money transfer equipment always works slower for minorities.
Katrina as sad as it was is one of the biggest fraud ever known to man.
I know people that were still living on debit cards for at least 5 years
Whatever there is to say about this video, I’d just like to say that he looks high.
Yeah, that “institutional racism” can be blamed for keeping Oprah in a ghetto, Beyonce and Jay-Z in tenements, The Honorable Clarence Thomas on skid row, and Barry Soetoro in some seedy gay bath-house...oh, wait! He’s pResident of the greatest country on the face of the earth!!!
Shove it up your a**, Barry.
Yet it took Obama almost a week after Isaac to even visit New Orleans and that was only AFTER Romney announced he would go visit..Also I dont remember Obama giving a damn about the victims of the Colorado wildfires, guess they were just too darn white for his taste
I wonder if the ‘moderate” voters, including up to 15% of normally GOP voters in some places, think this is the “Great Uniter” “the post racial President” they voted for in 2008?
Great ad for some Super Pac
Run the juicy bits of this video
Run the “cling to their Gods and Guns” clip from 2008
Run the clip from 2008 showing him bragging about being the “Great Uniter”.
Then ask
So which Obama are you voting for?
Here’s my question.
If New Orleans is still suffering, which it is according to the liberals, then what does that say about Obama? If helping New Orleans after Katrina was truly a high priority which Bush neglected, then why didn’t one Barack Obama, President of the United States, make this a high priority as President? What exactly has Obama done for New Orleans????
LOL
It’s so funny how all these things are just now coming out and the people who had these pieces of evidence withheld them this long.
What will come out after he leaves office?
We had a family of four in our neighborhood from NOLA who lived in a rental house for 3 years. Government paid the $1700 a month rent, utilities, cost of mowing the lawn and private school for the two kids. They were really upset when they were told they had to begin picking up the costs themselves. So they thoroughly trashed the place and left in the middle of the night.
When Ike hit there was very little help and extremely difficult to get even low interest SBA loans.
I don’t think the video itself will harm Obama much. We on the right already know who he is, and the video reveals pretty much what the left wants from him.
The value to our cause lies in what this story says about the media. Independents who voted for Obama already feel duped by the media, and this should pour salt in the wound.
It should literally seal the case that the lib media cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
If Ubama wins in Nov, I expect he will:
- Load SCOTUS with a socialist majority to make Constitution meaningless
- Amnesty for 30-40 illegals and new DNC voters
- Create a permanent DNC/Socialist majority. Forever.
- And appoint himself Prez for life
- Amnesty for 30-40 MILLION illegals and new DNC voters
As I remember the Mayor of New Orleans was “GD”ing all over the media, about needing the Feds to save them (when 100’s of schools buses were behind the good “Black Mayor”
