Original article: Obama's speech on race

Obama the Hypocrite (Imus)

White man makes racially divisive comment, Obama self righteously declares he would fire him. Obama's preacher makes worse comments (White America infected black America with AIDS) Obama self righteously declares he won't abandon him:

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

Obama said he appeared once on Imus' show two years ago, and "I have no intention of returning."

"He didn't just cross the line," Obama said. "He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.

"White America infected black America with AIDS" is OK though. Obama = Racism for me but not for thee.

Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

Well, it WAS hypocritical enough

She won't apologize and shouldn't.

Hillary, Kerry, and Edwards voted to put pressure on Iraq at a time everyone thought Iraq had WMD because Bush was lying to them.

She has no reason to apologize. The most you're going to get is that she regrets trusting liar Bush. Kerry is a panderer so of course he "apologized."

Thank you for reporting this

The sad thing is that in the current media climate nobody really notices how disgusting mainstream journalists have become.

I hope her campaign is approaching superdelegates

Wright is a legitimate electability issue. Obama made it even worse yet again today. Said his Granny is a "typical white person."

This guy is toast. Superdelegates were invented to prevent us from nominating just this type of political loser.

Obama lied about hearing Wright's racist sermons

We don't know how many sermons Obama heard but we know he's lying about never hearing Wright spew his vile, racist, anti-semitic hate speech.

Obama lied about opposing disenfranchisement

Barry Obama doesn't want Florida and Michigan voters to have a voice in the Democratic primary process because he knows he will lose in both states.

BO's lawyers threw up roadblocks to the re-vote process because BO doesn't want voters to vote. He wants to win as the affirmative action candidate who "got the most votes" minus TWO STATES.

Everyone knows combat zones are dangerous

Except perhaps Barry Obama, who never met a terrorist sponsor he didn't want to negotiate with without preconcessions.

Monday, March 24, 2008 01:14 PM

No one seems to want to explain why

B.O.'s lawyers put up roadblocks to re-votes in Michigan and Florida.

I can explain it for them: BO and his supporters do not want Michigan and Florida voters' votes to count because they know BO will lose in both states.

Everyone here knows that.

Stop pretending you care about DNC rules.

Monday, March 24, 2008 01:59 PM

Admit it, Obama supporters

Just like your candidate, you hoped/are hoping there will be no primary in Michigan and Florida that would enable the voters to have their votes counted.

You hope those two states are not counted representatively because you believe your affirmative action candidate is entitled to win the Democratic nomination without voters in Michigan and Florida.

You are no different than the supporters of the Supreme Court decision to hand the presidency to Bush.

Admit it because everyone already knows it's true.

Monday, March 24, 2008 03:45 PM

If you win make sure you ask BO

Ask BO why he and his supporters are hoping that Florida and Michigan voters will not be able to vote in this election.

Barry Obama and his supporters are no different than the Bush fans who supported the Supreme Court theft of the 2000 election.

They're disgusting.

Win a Date with Obama

Wasn't there an episode of the Brady Bunch where Marsha takes Obama to the Senior Prom?

SQUEALLLL!

Monday, March 24, 2008 07:14 PM

Sorry, Obama can't win

and Wright is going to be a big reason why if Obama makes it past the primaries.

Obama can't win PA, MI, FL, OH because of Wright and other issues that make large numbers of Americans nervous.

Write articles about how open-minded you are all you like. It won't matter in the 2008 election. Barack Obama will never be president because he is viewed as weak and unpatriotic. Democrats have learned this lesson time and again but they keep making the same mistake.

I would only vote for Clinton or McCain because BO is weak and unpatriotic.

This is the reality TODAY. Just wait until the 527's get to work.

Barry Obama's Greatest Hits

Terrorist America's chickens came home to roost on 9/11

God Damn America

I was never proud of my country until my husband ran for president

I did coke (and then joked about it in a speech later, which will be featured in future 527 ads)

Anyone who thinks the above alone won't sink a Democratic candidate is off his rocker.

Some people love to lose. It's a sickness.

Obama can't and won't win a general election

Read it and weep. If the superdelegates do their jobs, Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee:

Obama can't win

"God Damn America"

"I was never proud of this country until Obama ran for president"

Obama gave $27,000 to Wright in 2006

64% of Clinton supporters, including this one, won't vote for Obama if he is the nominee. We don't trust him.

Obama's defectors can be brought back into the fold on a Clinton-Obama ticket. Not so the other way around. We will defect to McCain because it's not about sour grapes, it's about the belief that Obama would be a worse president than Bush.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 05:23 PM

Obama is a liar

Obama lied to voters about his position on Iraq withdrawal and had to fire his foreign policy adviser for telling the truth.

Obama lied to voters about his position on NAFTA and had to fire his economic adviser for telling the Canadians the truth.

Obama is a liar.
