Double Life of Barack Obama

[Bann (Premo)]

Since Obama-rama is in full swing & he will be giving (what is being touted as) a major speech today regarding all this brouhahah with his pastor - I offer the following article by Thomas Sowell:

Thomas Sowell on Race & Politics on National Review Online=

A very good read, and I agree 100% with Dr. Sowell - especially this part:


"...The fact that Obama talks differently than Jeremiah Wright does not mean that his track record is different. Barack Obama’s voting record in the Senate is perfectly consistent with the far-left ideology and the grievance culture, just as his wife’s statement that she was never proud of her country before is consistent with that ideology.

Senator Barack Obama’s political success thus far has been a blow for equality. But equality has its down side.

Equality means that a black demagogue who has been exposed as a phony deserves exactly the same treatment as a white demagogue who has been exposed as a phony.

We don’t need a president of the United States who got to the White House by talking one way, voting a very different way in the Senate, and who for 20 years followed a man whose words and deeds contradict Obama’s carefully crafted election-year image.

Can we call a racist, a racist, without being called racist?

I doubt it, but Obama is a racist. Call me what you like.

Once again... it pains me to see folks who have decried the Democrat's tactics for years, stooping to their tactics. This will be the first time since the Nixon-McGovern race that two diametrically opposed sides, who openly profess their leanings, will be going at it in an election. There isn't going to be a lot of running to the middle in this election, and the issues will be the prime driver. And what do conservatives and Republicans want to do? They want to take the Democrat low road and attack a guy based on what his preacher said, the old Guilt By Religious Affiliation road that we just said was closed after Romney was attacked for being a Morman.

I wonder how much more pathetic we can get.

Are we just supposed to ignore it and pretend that Barack Obama hasn't been going to an anti-white hate America church for 20 years?

See, Larry - I TOLD you. THIS is the spin and what it will boil down to - all the Republicans' fault.

...50% white (both his mothers parents were white) and he is something like 40% black and 10% Arab due to the background of his dad.

So, racist against who? Against himself?

If I were him, that would be central to my speech today, that I am mixed race and, thus, can NOT be racist.

You can't be serious.

Well, I have my issues with Mormonism, but I'm fairly certain that if you go to a Mormon Church you won't walk out covered by the preacher's venomous mouth-froth after an anti-American and blatantly racist screed.

And if I had heard soundbytes of the person who Romney pointed out as his spiritual mentor and member of his family go off on a foam-flecked, racist and anti-American diatribe such as the ones (plural) I heard this morning, I promise you that I would, personally, be at the front of the torch-wielding mob.

I agree - but, apparently, for different reasons than you.

just making a joke right? Right???

I say this because no one in their sane mind would believe that a man follows his spirtual leader for 20 years without picking up on and agreeing with his message.

That's a pretty lame joke there Bruz....
