his answer would have been a lot smoother than what staggered out of his mouth there.

Yes, he stammered (big time) through that whole response.

Not once in his response did Obama point out the logical fallacies of the question, nor did he defend the American government against the charge of deliberately attacking African-Americans in the present tense, as the question was asked and intended.

He didn’t do any of this because he himself has bought into it. If elected we are all in for a long rough ride.

I do not believe they were plants, because had they been, they would have shut up to let Barry answer and his answer would have been a lot smoother than what staggered out of his mouth there.

Second, notice however that by the time he gets to his money line to close his response with his Kumbayah crap about all people – white, black, red, etc – coming together, he has completely turned his back on the young man and is only able to speak smoothly because he’s not being stared down anymore?

What a yutz.

[...] Captain Ed catches the nuance, but falls victim himself to the “bungled” Katrina response lie. I don’t know why [...]

Of course not, that way he could straddle both sides.

You think Ron Paul has a big wide open tent, nothing like CarBama does.

Every and I mean every off center, racist, multiple personality (vote early vote often) felon, migrant or carried in a wheelbarrow on their way to the grave is welcome in his big, BIG voting tent.

What about those numerous attacks made by black gang-members on black society?

Protestor: So my question is: In the face of the numerous attacks that are made against the African community …

The only attack against Africans I can think of is Obama promising aid to a small Kenyan school named in his honor and then not following through on said aid, so they still don’t even have running water and need to carry it from miles away.

Local media is reporting that the tickets distributed to the public were green in color. These protesters had yellow tickets which were distributed to VIP’S by the campaign. So yup they are plants.

I don’t think it’s stuttering. He’s waiting for the crowd to quite down before he continues. We only hear his microphone.

No, I’m quite sure it is stuttering. He does it a lot. Rush put together a clip on his show recently of Obama’s speech in Germany. The stuttering was amazing. I think he had about three minutes worth. Rush says it’s because Obama is not a thinker and if he has to actually speak to someone without the teleprompter, he just has to search for what to say. I think that may be true.

Notice the kid’s question kept refering to the “African Community”? There’s alot of bad juju going on in Africa apparently…maybe Barry is campaigning there too? Many minorities and liberals alike feel a disconnect and hatred against their country as this illustrated. Their government owes them everything but they don’t owe their country anything in return.

I love how Barry starts out kind of trying to talk “street” to the brotha… I’m sure he probably went in and out of homey-speak throughout the answer (as we’ve seen before) but I can’t stand listening to him, so I didn’t watch must of his reply.

Did anyone else happen to notice, buried in the middle of that mess, that Barry takes credit for the first sub-prime lending legislation in Illinois, as well as taking credit for reforming the Illinois Death Penalty mess?

So, did he “pass” those measures? Or did he pass on those measures?

Either way, sounds a lot like Johnny taking credit for the circus cause he made one of the shows with his parents.

There’s some great ad fodder here:

Protestor: So my question is: In the face of the numerous attacks that are made against the African community or the black community, by the same US government that you aspire to lead — and we are talking about attacks like . . . . Hurricane Katrina . . . .

Obama: Well, I, ah, I guess, I… Hold on a second, everybody. . . . [H]e asked a legitimate question, so I want to give him an answer.

Then pan in on the scene near the end when protester dude puts his banner up again and someone snaps it down and out of his hand.

Does Obama really think that the US government has made “numerous attacks” on the African community, or that this allegation has legitimacy?

I’m going to go with the answer which is fairly obviously correct: “No, he was just looking for words in an awkward moment.”

If we want to go over the top with moonbat-esque parsing of every word he says, we could just as easily conclude that the question was “legitimate” because the guy was handed the microphone with the promise that his question would be answered.

Come on people… focus on the myriad, real problems with this guy.
