Rev. Wright taught him that for 20 years.

“I’m always worried about using the word ‘victory,’ because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur,” Obama told ABC News.

Student of history, huh? If one of my students tried to place HIrohito at the surrender, I would flunk him or her.

Or refer them to the East Asia vs. Eurasia wars in Nineteen Eight-Four. History belongs to those in power and the majority-rarely is it an accurate portrayal of reality.

Obama knows everything about being a cop, a doctor and a banker. He knows how to run a car company. Brilliant!

Unfortunately, he has no idea how to be president.

He did EXACTLY what someone does who believes they are smarter than everybody else.

No offense to those on this blog who are attorneys, but isn’t it general knowledge that lawyers are smarter then everyone else? Come on guys, get with the program!

Obama can’t help himself, he has a law degree!

The racist community organizer cannot stay silent. That persona is too dominant and must push through to the surface.

In that instant, Sweet gave Obama enough room to implode, and Obama naively obliged. –Hot Air

BHO is a racist. To have sit in that church for twenty years……well eough said. He has set back race relations in America forty years.

I watch the FoodTV channel a lot, and I refused to watch two shows, specifically because they were black…tired of the race baiting of Obama: Cooking for Real and Down Home with the Neely’s.

I finally gave in and watched them, desperate for something that wasn’t political to get me angry all over again…I came to really like both shows only recently…Sunny and the Neely’s are really nice people and NOT angry like Michelle and Obama! Their recipes are pretty good too.

Before Obama came a

The President is everything he campaigned against.
Suprise! Suprise!

And everything one would surmise about someone who chose to attend a “church” headed by the likes of Jeremiah Wright.

I think this was about class, not race and Obama came across as another IVY league elitist defending his buddy.

rob verdi on July 24, 2009 at 8:08 AM

It was most definitely primarily about race. Class, perhaps, but a distant secondary matter in Obama’s warped and hate-filled mind.

He was just going by what his buddy Rahm says, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste.” This attitude plays well in Chicago, but not the rest of the country.

Keep it up Barry, you’ve got quite a list growing of who you’re against:

Middle America
Small Town America
Main Street America
Corporate America
Small Business America
Gun Owners America
Religious America
Doctors in America
Police in America

The misleading campaign theme was that Barack Obama was the “post-racial” and “post-partisan” candidate.

The left obsesses over the “racism” of conservatives, but they are the only ones who seem to be obsessed with talking about it.

Barbara Boxer is a prime illustration of the true, condescending racism of the left.

By the end of Obama’s term, racism will be a much bigger problem than it is today

Does he hate me too?

JiangxiDad on July 24, 2009 at 8:26 AM

Probably. Definitely, if you’re White, a Christian and a Conservative. Most definitely if you also own a gun. God forbid if you’ve attended a “Tea Party” in the last six months…that’ll make you right-wing extremist and a potential terrorist too.

I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it…I sure don’t.

I’ll raise you with a Barack Obama and Rahm Emmual

AxelrodGeorge Soros is Obama’s brain. He’s running the government right now.

The greatness of CrockObama is he believes he is an expert on every subject even though he knows nothing about said subject…. and he can’t throw a baseball…and he is a terrible “leader”.

Rightosphere

It’s “dextrosphere”. To truly appreciate why it’s such a good word for it, consider what the opposing half of the sphere must be called.

(For those of you who don’t know your Latin etymology, that would be “sinistrosphere”.

Gibbs says that whole Gate’s thing is a “distraction” and that people are “obsessed with it.”

LMAO!

markknoller Does Obama regret his Gates/police remarks? Gibbs: I think he wud if he “realized how much of an overall distraction & obsession it wud be.”

markknoller Gibbs tells reporters that Obama “would probably regret distracting you gusy with obsessions.” (about Gates/police incident)

Axelrod is Obama’s brain. He’s running the government right now.
