Obama's speech on race

Heat? You call this heat? I call it a burr in my backside. The longer is stays there the more irritating and annoying it becomes. Keep it up and you will be on iggy.

FYI

I get paid EXTRA for being out on IGGY

So all you would do

and deprive you of entertainment:)
 
No you didn't. I was giving you my answer as to what I would be afraid of.

so in effect you then agree

if you were walking the street

and BLACK MEN were approaching, you would be scared

deny all you want, its The PC thing to do, it would also be a LIE!

Only if they had a look of intent. I wouldn't be afraid of just a group of black men or any other men for that matter unless they gave me cause. Now quit twisting what I say.

I really am so close to that iggy button.

Buried in Eloquence, Obama Contradictions About Pastor
In Speech, Obama Contradicted More Than a Year of Denials About His Knowledge of Rev. Wright's Sermons By BRIAN ROSS and AVNI PATEL

Buried in his eloquent, highly praised speech on America's racial divide, Sen. Barack Obama contradicted more than a year of denials and spin from him and his staff about his knowledge of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's controversial sermons.

Is Obama's Pastor a Liability?Similarly, Obama also has only recently given a much fuller accounting of his relationship with indicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a longtime friend, who his campaign once described as just one of "thousands of donors."

Until yesterday, Obama said the only thing controversial he knew about Rev. Wright was his stand on issues relating to Africa, abortion and gay marriage.

"I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial," Obama said at a community meeting in Nelsonville, Ohio, earlier this month.

"He has said some things that are considered controversial because he's considered that part of his social gospel; so he was one of the leaders in calling for divestment from South Africa and some other issues like that," Obama said on March 2.


His initial reaction to the initial ABC News broadcast of Rev. Wright's sermons denouncing the U.S. was that he had never heard his pastor of 20 years make any comments that were anti-U.S. until the tape was played on air.

But yesterday, he told a different story.

"Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes," he said in his speech yesterday in Philadelphia.

Obama did not say what he heard that he considered "controversial," and the campaign has yet to answer repeated requests for dates on which the senator attended Rev. Wright's sermons over the last 20 years.

Rezko Played Bigger Role, Obama SaysIn the case of his relationship with Rezko, Obama has also been slow to acknowledge the full extent of his relationship.

It was only last week that he revealed Rezko had raised some $250,000 in campaign contributions for him.

The campaign had initially claimed Rezko-connected contributions were no more than $60,000, an amount the campaign donated to charity. Then the figure grew to around $86,000, and there were additional revelations that put the amount at about $150,000. Obama's $250,000 accounting was a substantial jump and clearly contradicted earlier campaign statements that Rezko was just one of "thousands of donors."
 
Rezko is now on trial in federal court in Chicago, charged with a pattern of bribing state officials to obtain various Illinois state contracts. Rezko has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Obama was initially vague about Rezko's role in helping him buy a new home on Chicago's south side. Unable to afford an adjacent vacant lot the seller wanted to sell at the same time as the house, Obama approached Rezko. Rezko's wife bought the lot on the same day Obama bought the house, and then later, Mrs. Rezko sold the Obamas a strip of the lot which gave the Obamas a larger backyard.

Obama called it a "bone-headed" mistake but never revealed, until he met with Chicago reporters last week, that Rezko had actually toured the house with him and been deeply involved in the transaction.


In a statement, campaign press secretary Bill Burton said, "Last week, Sen. Obama spent almost three hours answering every single question about Tony Rezko posed by the local reporters who've covered the story closest for years. Those newspapers said they were more than satisfied with his open, honest answers. We've given all of the money contributed to Barack Obama's federal campaigns that could reasonably be credited to Mr. Rezko's political support to charity. Sen. Obama also provided an estimate of the most that could have possibly been raised as a result of Mr. Rezko's efforts, but that estimate is not a basis upon which any individual contributions can be donated to charity. "

As to Rev. Wright, Burton said, "While Sen. Obama was not in church for the incendiary and offensive statements of Rev. Wright that have been played on television over the last week, yesterday he delivered a deeply personal, honest speech on race in America in which he acknowledged that over the course of 20 years, of course he heard statements from Wright that could be considered controversial."

The beauty of Obama's speech is that he wants to end the racial divide with class warfare.

You're one it until November after the election


Have fun. :D
 
I think the point is moot now. BHO is pretty much out of the running. I don't think the DNC will let him run now.

Not that it makes much difference - there will still be a democrat in the election, and one who is almost a dangerous to the country as he is.

Like how MLK was shut down after "I have a dream"?
 
This part of Obama's speech hits home, right here in this thread. Over and over again.

I'm not going to live in a world of Ishs, Busybodys, Faneroses or Vettemans. It's an ugly world of fear, war, selfishness and privilege. No more, and, in this election, my decision is from the words of Obama, "Not this time". Not for me. I'm not going to argue about it.

The reality, is he's not talking to them. He's talking to me and he's talking to those people who haven't made a decision. He's talking to people who are out there trying to make a difference. He's talking to the people who are willing to try something different.

We can try to make a better country by being better ourselves and working with others to be better and have better opportunities. It doesn't have to be "against" as much as it can be "for."

For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism.

We can do that.

But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we’ll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change.

That is one option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, “Not this time.”

Why Faneros? What exactly have I said that isnt true with regards to O'bama? By the way, it would behoove him to recruit my vote because I’m a citizen of the US who votes, and who isn’t satisfied with the status quo and would certainly, if his message resonated with me, vote for him. To me, he is all sizzle and no steak, and I realized this after listening to hours of tape from his mentor and pastor who talks crap. If you think O'bama is isolated from Rev Wright somehow because he wasnt in the audience when those speeches were given, you're very naïve and yes, you are the person he should speak too!

Rev Wright is a racist, dont you see that?

I don' tthink they have any intention of stopping him.
 
Tell me that you don't have someone in your life that other people hate or dislike who means the world to you. All of us do. We have friends that no one understands why we are friends with. It's the same with him and Wright. You don't have to agree with everything the man says but you can still find something in him that is redeemable
