All Obama is going to do is give another flowery speech to the masses, in which he is going to indicate that he knew nothing about his pastor's remarks during his 22 years of attending his church, and that he denounces those comments. If your going to fall for that line, then I have some property to sell you on the moon. I wouldn't waste the time of day listening to him.
Excellent! I'll assume you're a myDD regular
You Assume Correctly!
When will the repugs on the diary go home?
Didn't you mean to post that after his speech? I know that's what you'll think no matter what he says, but aren't you at least supposed to pretend to listen with an open mind?
These folks probably have their diaries pre-written, along with references to Michelle the welfare queen, the mugging done to Bill Clinton in SC, and the praise for Fox News.
After, all this is the bastion of civility and thoughtful blogging, the site that decries race-baiting.
Oh, yes, why bother actually listening to what Obama says...you don't want to take the risk that you might change your mind in some way...
It will be streamed live on cnn.com
Yes - I can see that the Mcain and Bush enablers are not even prepared to listen to Candidate who will be running against Mcain. What a classy bunch of would be neocons.
This is your moment. This is the chance you've been working for for the past decade. Everything you claim to stand for - being a unifying force, trying to heal divisions of race, bringing a strong Democratic majority in November - all of that can hinge on the next hour.
I think some people are so caught up in the spin for their candidate that they forget how big this can be. If there's one thing that this race has brought home, it's that there still are racial tensions in this country. African Americans feel like they're not given due credit. Caucasians feel like they have to be extremely careful about what they say at all times. What does that come out of? A horrible history and a lack of hope that the future can be better.
An Obama presidency isn't just a finger in the eye of the few outright racists who are left, it's an attack on those in the AA community who tell people that there is no way out, that they're doomed because of their race. Obama winning have the ironic effect of causing the Wrights of the world to have less power when they try to make divisive speeches. Losing because of a preacher would only make the frustration stronger.
So here's your chance Obama. You've shown that you have the ability to do this. Today's your chance.
LMMFAO
Obama should say the following.
"I dont hate whitey."
Over and over and over...
rather than just pre-polarize according to b.s. "sides."
i am hearing his speech right now. So far he is defending the pastor in a convoluted way. MSM Press coverage will not be good for this speech.It should be like that. Middle America will not like it. His argument is Take me or leave it...
