I bet the media is going to ride these three words into the ground like an abused rodeo pony. Poor Obama cannot seem to get the right combination of words together without bashing granny and the typical white person. The hole he dug himself into with the help of Reverend Wright, Barrack may be better off quitting while he is ahead on this subject.
His statement in reference to the typical white person did not offend me. I understood he was trying to explain the stereotypical stigmatisms people have with one another as far as race is concerned.
Now the cat is out of the bag screaming like a ban chi, how do you duct tape the little monster to put it back in the bag?
What do you think the onslaught would have been if Bush or Cheney had referred to somebody as a typical black person?
This is and has been a serious problem; racism is on both sides of the arena, black or white.
I know if I was running for public office, or planning my life to be a politician. I would do the best I could not to be associated with individuals like Rev. Wright that could cause damage to my political career.
I am also seeing a pattern with Obama that he has the ability to hold himself above the racist he attended church with, and apparently was ok with this for 20 years or the way he has used his grandmother. He does not blatantly say this, but he has pointed fingers and passed the blame onto everything but himself. In the same breath turn around and states he is the one that can be the great uniter, cross racial divides, and heal the nation. I do not buy this either.
Why hasn't Barrack apologized or humbled himself and admit he is wrong, and made some poor choices by following a man like Rev. Wright? I have yet to hear anything coming from Obama that relates to his accountability and responsibility. He shifts the blame to Reverend Wright, shifts the responsibility to granny, and shifts the responsibility to the nature of racism. Why doesn't he acknowledge himself in this situation? It just looks like me his is in some sort of celestial euphoria or something, claiming to have the judgment to lead America through and heal the racial problems.
I might have been born at night, but it wasn't lastnight.
All I am surer of is that Barrack Obama has aligned himself with the radical black liberation movement that pretty much supports socialism, hatred, and racism.
I am not buying into the pretty picture Obama is trying to paint.
One big important thing I have learned is that Barrack Obama is not ready to become the President of the United States. He has displayed poor judgment, has not had the ability to discredit the opposition he is confronted with. He has also demonstrated that because of his judgment and decisions which aligned himself with individuals like Rev. Wright. I do not think he is the one to tackle racial disparities either. The issues Barrack has said he opposes are not just little disagreements. I do not see how he can condone attending a church for 20 years, which preached racism, hatred for America, absurd suggestions that the government injected HIV into the people of color, and comparing it to genocide.
I do not think there is anything Barrack Obama can say or do at this point where I would even consider changing my mind about his judgment, or his ability to lead this country anywhere. He is too far left for me to consider to begin with. Just like Hillary. All I hear out the the Democratic Party is socialism. If you want socialism go to Canada, or some other country. Another thing I continually hear out of the left is hatred and discontent for America.
The champions of democracy, civil rights, and unity. Yea, right, go tell it to somebody that doesn't know any better.
