Obama PR Disaster: "Hillary Ain't Never Been Called A Nigger"

This is precisely what Barack Obama didn't need right now. It may very well tank his numbers in Pennsylvania and leave him looking unelectable, depending on how he meets the significant challenges to his non-race-based campaign theme this presents. Video available via The Politico.

The title of Obama’s second book, “The Audacity of Hope,” was taken from a sermon by Barack Obama’s controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright. In recorded sermons that may run afoul of IRS guidelines, sure to give the story legs - Wright compares Obama to Jesus, declares America a country controlled by "rich white people," and claims Jesus was "a poor black man who lived in a country and who lived in a culture controlled by rich white people." He goes on to claim that people are "hating" on Obama as he isn't "white, privileged and rich," as is Hillary Clinton. He closes by stating that, "Hillary ain't never been called a nigger!"

Given Obama's close ties to both the pastor and the church and his attempt to run a post-racial campaign, it's fair to say he has some formidable PR challenges ahead.

Barack Obama’s controversial pastor and the church he’s served for 36 years may be in hot water over statements he has made from the pulpit in support of the Illinois senator’s run for the White House.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. preaches that he follows the righteous path, but when it comes to the federal tax law, his Trinity United Church of Christ may have crossed the line.

Although Wright delivered what was billed as his final sermon last month on his path to retirement, prior to his departure he delivered commentary from the pulpit now being scrutinized in which he praised Obama.

"Hillary ain't never been called a nigger," he says at the climax.

This will get zero traction. It won't turn off any fence-sitting libs and it may well encourage stronger support from blacks. And Hillary is not going to touch it. And if IRS goes after Jeremiah he will certainly be able to claim selective enforcement, (promoting politicians from the pulpit is a time-honored tradition in many communities) and that will work to his favor. I mean, look at Al Sharpton. Do you really think that any serious consequences for Jeremiah or BO will come of this?

[Dan Riehl]

"or BO will come of this?"

For Obama - yep. Don't confuse formal consequences, with informal ones. The media will try to soft pedal it, no one will be prosecuted, but the story will be there influencing white, mostly blue collar voters. It derails any attempts by Obama to make inroads with Reagan Dems in PA and elsewhere and gives Super Delegates another reason to think twice of what a general election might look like. He wrote a book based upon this guy's preaching, this is a fair line of inquiry, attack. Look at McCain's recently in the news Catholic issue due to Hagee's support. Same difference in the end.

[SteveIL]

I agree that this probably won't affect Obama until the general election campaign. So what we have though is two preachers, Wright and Farrakhan (with Farrakhan being a known racist, and Wright either equal or not too far off), supporting Obama. The media has been trying paint a couple of preachers supporting McCain as being extremist hate-mongers, except those guys are railing against other religions, not any race of people; Catholics and Muslims are not considered by any stretch of the imagination as being separate races.

What's interesting in Wright's diatribe about "rich, white, people" is he tries to imply Obama was raised in a single-parent household because of the control of the country (the U.S.) by "rich, white, people" (at 1:42 of the video). Yeah, well, that isn't exactly true, is it? Barack's father left his family in Hawaii to go to...Harvard, and his parents then divorced. It doesn't seem to me that this was caused by the control of "rich, white, people". Then his mother marries an Indonesian, following her husband to Indonesia and taking her son, and lives there for several years. Then his mother sent little Barack back to Hawaii to live with her parents, his white grandparents. Again, I don't see a connection to control of the country by "rich, white, people".

The IRS does need to look at Wright, and this church. They are simply awful.

Sen. Obama might be called our Sisyphus candidate. Sisyphus had to roll one large boulder up a hill, it then rolled back down, and he had to roll it up again. Obama has two large boulders to roll uphill, Rezko and Wright.

True, but Bill has (he being the first black president;) she can claim racial discrimination by association.....just as she claims experience by association.

I wonder if Rev Jeremiah Wirght believes sucking out an African-American baby's brain is the work of the righteous. I know Obama does since he voted to continue Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's 'Negro Project' however I wonder if the preacher man believe in the "Klan in The Hood'.

[seekeronos]

"--- Is Mr. Religious Racist Preacher man implying that Sen. Obama is a 'Nigger'? ---"

Absolutely not. Because so long as the man using the racist epithet "n*gger" has African ancestry, and especially a line of descent from enslaved Negro field hands... he is perfectly entitled to use said epithet against other persons of African ancestry.

Of course, the NAACP would have us believe that they buried the "N" word with a lavish funeral... but that doesn't stop black supremacist preachers like Farrakhan or Wright or lascivious child rapists like Akon or some of these other rap/hip-hop "artists" from liberally using the word, as well as other nice words like "white imperialist pig", "white devil", "Zionist swine", and etc.

Because you see, Racism is A-OK when a black person does it... they still have over 400 years of unresolved animus of their black sub-Saharan tribesman deporting them from Africa for a few dinars of Arabian gold exchanged with British pounds and Netherlands ducats.

They want the sons of Scots-Irish and Germans and Swedes and other folks who had nothing at all - even by ancestry - to do with slavery to "pay through the nose" reparations for the centuries of abuse and lost opportunities, when in fact, those men in particular are living in luxury at the expense of their beguiled congregations.

An IRS Audit should clean up that mess and quiet down the Rev's toxic rhetoric.

B.O. would be wise to distance himself & campaign from this Bigot.
The Dems have kept blacks on the plantation too long.
Bill Clinton was a black president like I am the Pope.

Pastor? I thought you guys said that B. HUSSEIN Obama was an A-rab or something??

[IslamoLlama]

*Raises Hand*

Does this mean that Obama should release Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. from his campaign staff? Wait... wait... wait... does Rev. Wright HAVE a position on Obama's staff? If not, does this mean that Rev. Wright can't be fired?

Omg! Talk about your albatross! An Obama supporter who said un-nice things into a microphone. And he's a Reverend! Omg! Omg! Failure! Disaster! Dooooooom!

I think if McCain can survive the Hagee endorsement (and corresponding giant bucket of jew-hating campaign donations), Barack will find a way through this.

[IslamoLlama]

"--An IRS Audit should clean up that mess and quiet down the Rev's toxic rhetoric.--"

That's right! Fuck freedom of speech? What country do you think we live in? Now, off to Bob Jones U. with your old, white, ignorant ass. I'm sure you're late for the "Why Segregation Is God's 11th Commandment" class.

[seekeronos]

Also, Jesus was a JEW of the first century AD... from the western line Peleg, son of Eber (from whom is derived the word "Hebrew"), a great-grandson of Shem. This great family of Shemites include all Arabs, Persians, non-Dravidian Hindu Indians, Pakistanis, some Azerbaijanis, Kazhaks to name but a few.

(The eastern Shemites, primarily descended through Peleg's Joktan, are believed to have been the ancestral stock for the Sino-Pacific Islander cultures, and much more remotely, Native Americans/First Nations peoples).

Jesus was not a white guy (European whites being mostly Japethic with limited Shemite admixture) nor a black (mostly Hamitic with various amounts of either Japethic or western Shemitic admixture) guy.

Jews of Jesus's time were excessively fussy about keeping their _tribal_ bloodlines pure (in anticipation of the arrival of Messiah, who according to prophecy was to arise from the Judean line of the house of King David).

The "whitening of Jewry" that accompanied the Diaspora ultimately resulted in the fulfillment of Noah's prophecy of enlarging the "tents of Japeth in Shem" [* Genesis 9:26-27... see note] would not occur for a few more centuries; therefore, the Jews of Jesus's time could not have widely intermarried into the mostly Teutonic-Fraconic and Slavic stocks of people who later become the Yiddish/Ashkenazi Jews with whiter skins and redder hair.

The Jews remaining in the Mediterranean nations and particularly in Araby became the Sephardi Jews, typically with black hair and very tan skins - otherwise indistinguishable from today's modern Persians or Arabs. Or as BoobInStamford might try to crudely put it... "the brown people".

Therefore, Jesus was a "brown person", not black African like the Farrakhanites or the loser at the First Church of Obama might have us believe.

FWIW, if Obama is the Antichrist, he sure picked a lousy guy to play his False prophet.

[*] Note: Gen. 9:26-27 was incorrectly used to assert Biblical support of institutional slavery; the fallacy lies in that the particulars of this curse were fulfilled when the Israelite nation conquered and subdued the Canaanites (most of the Book of Joshua) in approx. 1450-1480 BC. The Jewish Law of Conquest permitted two options for many Canaanite cities - either surrender and become slaves to the Israelites, or be put completely and utterly to the sword. (If you thought modern Israel plays for keeps, they weren't a patch on their distant ancestors under Joshua and Caleb).

This curse has NOTHING to do with the slavery of black people some thirty centuries later. It had to deal with God using them to permanently settle the hash of the deeply idolatrous and sexually perverted baby-killing cultists of Canaan.

Most churches are organized as 501(3)(c) or similar organiztions. This puts a very short leash on a lot of political speech that pastors, priests, and priests can use.

It's part and parcel with that pesky Jeffersonian doctrine of separating Church and State.

Funny how you libs get all bunched up when it applies to you... because the Dems were trying their hardest to pass through that Hate Speech bill which would penalize pastors from preaching against sexual immorality (such as saying from the pulpit that homosexuality or adultery is sin, and that people need to repent of that wicked sin and turn to Christ for forgiveness). Or even banning the Bible as a "hate speech publication" because it describes in graphic detail God's wrath against the wicked, including but not limited to the gays.

But when it has to do with putting the brakes on a renegade minister who is preaching a message that could easily be construed as black "racial hate speech", then you guys flip-flop and start railing about First amendment abuse.

C'mon, Is-Lame-O.

You can't have it both ways.

[WAHOO WILLIE]

Well folks, I've got to side with my snookums LameLLama on this one. Never in total agreement, not being nearly as judgmental and all, but still. I have to wonder if some people even know any black folk or ever visited a *black* church. I dont mean the guy who mows the lawn or in Hannity's case someone who's just as rich. I mean REAL black folk. All of this is nothing new, this "black values system" or acknowledging that America is run by "rich, white people" and I asure you that Hilda has never been called a nigger and if she had it would not have had the same impact. Friends this is EXACTLY how they percieve the world and they aren't all that far off the mark. They've been given a pass to discuss politics from their pulpits because historically that's where they are able to 'safely' do so. When anyone makes statements about IRS investigations and silencing ANYONE it makes me want to fix bayonets and man the ramparts. The parable applies: First they came for the Jew and I did nothing. Then they came for the Protestant...and I did nothing. Finally, they came for me and there was no one to help me.

[seekeronos]

I don't disagree with ye, Willie... nor necessarily so with IsLame-O.

I'm just saying that a double standard definitely exists with regard toward using the IRS and tax codes to shut down free speech from the pulpit. If anything, politics *should* be discussed in churches and synagogues, as the churches should be able to counsel amongst their members as to how to apprehend policy under the scrutiny of God's word.

In fact, I don't think that the ministers (to include both Wright in Obama's case, and Hagee in McCain's) should be restricted from making fools of themselves by their stupid words, much less subject themselves to getting punched in the nose should they say the wrong thing to the wrong person.

What I am getting at is that tax-exempt status and the IRS should not be used as a bludgeon to limit speech. A more suitable (in my opinion) solution would be to keep churchs from acting as PACs and paying contributions to other PACs or SIGs or candidates as 501(c)(3) organizations.

"Speak for and endorse candidates" all you want, but don't dare make a donation as a church entity.

[templar knight]

"You can't have it both ways."

Sure they can, seek, and that's what they've had for years. Democrats routinely campaign in black churches, and have for some time. Black "ministers" are paid big bucks in walking around money to get out the vote, drive certain people to the polls, and even "help" people with their ballots, etc. I'll just bet these preachers are very helpful with instuctions on how and who to vote for.

"Funny how you liberals get all bunched up when it applies to you."

Bingo, seek. Liberals are very tolerant of their freedom of speech, however, when they don't agree with it, then it is wrong, is hateful, or the 1st Amendment doesn't apply.

[WAHOO WILLIE]

"Bingo, seek. Liberals are very tolerant of their freedom of speech, however, when they don't agree with it, then it is wrong, is hateful, or the 1st Amendment doesn't apply."

Absolutely correct Temp and exactly why those of us who truly believe in the Constitution should be willing to fight to the death to defend EVERYONE'S right to free speech. How can we suggest a preacher be harrassed into silence and then fight the "fairness Doctrine". Hypocritical, no?

[templar knight]

"Friends, this is EXACTLY how they perceive the world."

Yes, you're right, Willie, and this perception is what causes black thugs, and that is what they are, to prey on innocent white people just like the young woman murdered at UNC-CH. It's taught in the schools, it's taught in the pulpit, and it's taught in the culture. Even by black people who should know better. And it's why I will not vote for any black person to be President of the United States. Until this changes. And you do so at your own risk, if you're white. Sorry to be so blunt, but the truth is the truth.

I find the term "nigger" extremely offensive. Each time the term "nigger" is used it lowers the bar of societal discourse and dialogue. Why how can we as a society passivley sit by while terms such as lazy "nigger", stupid "nigger", dumb "nigger" are used in everything from pro sports to music? Its very disturbing!

It's amazing you can say that with a straight face. Bush, McCain, and Huckabee have been using the extreme right wing evangelical movement as a giant money pit for over a decade. Bush's "Faith Based Initiatives" scheme has been a federal level wingnut welfare funnel for years. When Rick Perry and Judge Roy Moore were throwing up giant Ten Commandments statues on government property and zealots in various state legislatures were trying to mandate school prayer, this vaunted "separation of church and state" argument never got played. Falwell / Robertson / Perkins / Dobson run massive GOTV efforts for Republican candidates - Dobson even openly chastised McCain, threatening to NOT support him for President (like he would have done for any number of other conservatives) - and I didn't see anybody threatening to revoke his tax-exempt status.

My god, the corruption is so thick you can practically taste it. This is why your gumbas are getting carted out of office en mass. People are sick of the hypocrisy. Turning the nation's majority faith into a wing of a political institution and trying to intimidate opposition churches at wallet-point is going destroy both your faith and your party. But you boys just keep on trucking down the road to self-destruction.

So please, launch an IRS investigation against Barack Obama's church. Nothing says "We're friendly to people of faith" like a multi-million dollar case no Illinois federal judge will ever uphold against a purely Christian ministry. Seriously, you've already got the gun pointed at your foot. I invite you to pull the trigger.

Since Hussein Obama is more white and Arab than black why doesn't he use that? Simple, It wouldn't get him 94% of the racist black vote.

I belong to a tax free organization and if we did anything close to what the racist preacher whom Hussein Obama worships does, we would not be tax exempt tomorrow and folks this is a volunteer fire department. No involvement in politics as an organization is the rule, but evidently the rules of the IRS don't apply if you're a black radical Islamis racist running for president. Why, white people in the IRS are 'scared' they'll be called racist. Bad news folks, I don't care how much racist black a$$ you kiss they'll still call you a racist, democrat or republican.

[syn]

"they'll still call you a racist, democrat or republican."

Bush, perhaps. I really don't see it in McCain; aside from that Hagee item, I'd say McCain is going out of his way to pander to the centrists and the independent lefties who might be - *just* might be able to think apart from the DLC party line. He really doesn't strike me as caring a whit about social conservatives.

Huckabee on the other hand, he has tried to parlay the evangelical vote as an identity politics item, but you see, it doesn't wash well with the majority of (R)'s as you've seen. Even staunch, socially conservative Christian voters like me could not find much room to support him for all his populism. Nor does ID politics generally sit well with the average righty.

As for shutting down 501(3)(c) organizations, you have completely missed my point. Frankly, I am not surprised; you have shown a well-marked pattern not unlike that of a pit-bull who, once firmly latched onto its target: it has a death-grip of such intensity that only the sweet embrace of an entrenching tool deployed to the base of its neck will result in said dog releasing its prey.

Any threat to shut down an NPO, or a church, or other 501(3) organization for speaking out against the government or even against a particular person or institution, or even just generally being disagreeable, violates the first amendment. That includes everyone from the Wright's church on down to the Aryan Nations.

Now if they actually start doing anything illegal, like passing a collection plate and bundling off the collection as a donation to Obama, or taking out paid advertisements for a candidate, or burning crosses on people's lawns, it is then that the subpoenas should go out, and every effort taken to seek the remedy of justice against the guilty.

Until then, let them so speak and so beclown themselves in the eyes of all and many.

For Wahoo Willie:

"--- "It's part and parcel with that pesky Jeffersonian doctrine of separating Church and State."

Boy has that one been misused and abused until it's become totally unrecognizable from original intent. ---"

So very true. I bet some folks would flip if they learned that that statement (written by Jefferson to a small Anabaptist church in Danbury, CT) little to do with the explicit divorcement of spiritual considerations from secular government (indeed, a form of religious tyranny in its own way) but much rather, religious *liberty*.

I give you the full context of the Danbury Baptist's inquiry, and then Mr. Jefferson's statement:

"Our Sentiments are uniformly on the side of Religious Liberty — That Religion is at all times and places a matter between God and individuals — That no man ought to suffer in name, person, or effects on account of his religious Opinions - That the legitimate Power of civil government extends no further than to punish the man who works ill to his neighbor..."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(to which then President Jefferson replied)

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

Is not the lesson here to be gleaned the counsel of not setting up a national church (like the Church of England, or the German Evangelische Freikirche) --- and with that establishment coming so many of the oppressions against the liberties of men who sought a different doctrine that killed the Faith once contended for in Europe?

Rather, it guarantees freedom OF religion. Not "freedom" from religion.

Indeed, as I see it, whether or not Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore decided to put a hunk of granite with the 10 Commandments on it is non-denominational, and does little to set up any prelates, popes, pontiffs, bishoprics, councils, synods, synagogues or mosques; it is what it is - a big hunk of rock with some words from the Bible on it.

That we have something as innocuous as "In God we Trust" etched on every coin from the humble penny to the majestic Double Eagle $20 gold coin is another test of this: the coinage does little to inspire much less coerce people to worship the Creator.

Atheists get bunched up because they take offense at the very Creator Who loved them and died for them, and rose again to give them eternal life.

Nor does having a moment of silent prayer (actually this is more Biblically sound than a loud public prayer) before opening up the day at school, business or a session of Congress.

And seek, you are absolutely delusional.

Freedom from religious tyranny was always a cornerstone of US Domestic doctrine, and that freedom - inevitably - extended to how tax dollars were spent and laws were upheld. Playing the "Jesus Loves you so do what I say" card won't get you anywhere in US Court. And, after 7 years of war, torture, and death, you sound like either the most naive sob who's ever lived or the most cynically evil. "The Boss Loves You" line gets pitched regularly by every Totalitarian thug. But the GOP "freedom" of religion was never about religion and certainly never about freedom.

I think this does have traction because, for God's sake, do the Obamas take their children to this church to hear this hatred? If so, they haven't the judgment necessary to be parents, let alone the president and first lady of this country. That Obama has not only NOT been offended by this despicable racist pastor, but rather embraces him, will be eye-opening for many, many American voters. "Change" and "Hope" my ass. This is the same old crap the Black Panthers were selling back in the 60s and 70s. We didn't buy it then and I hope to God we don't buy it now. As an aside, Obama's pastor makes Ward Churchill look like a reasonable orator.

It'll be a hoot as Hills gets the Supers to sign on if after that fat disgusting heap of hog jowls of a "pastor" , Obama is sent to pasture.

"...and filthy hippies swatting each other with flying errant Birkenstock sandals and campaign sign head concussions."

You're referring to chris/Boob again, eh seek? Yes, I will also enjoy the hippies sniping at each other. It'll be better than a dwarf toss, although not as cerebral, as I would never insult the intelligence of a dwarf by comparing him to a dirty Leftist.

[Dandy Don]

It's over, done, finished, kaput. The minimal impact of BO's hateful past in the Democratic primaries won't lose him the nomination, but it has made him unelectable in the general. Spin it any way you want, make all the comparisons you feel necessary, but this situation is unique and damming (pun intended) for the Illinois Senator. He has run his entire campaign on erasing boundaries, unifying people and propping up his own judgment. The same judgment that lead him to join and remain active in an assemble of people led by the most divisive and most hateful 'man of God' I have seen in quite some time, with the possible exception of his good friend Louis 'Eugene' Farrakhan.

The good news for Wright is that he has a very lucrative career ahead of him as a Democratic spokesman in the mold of Jessee Jackson and Al Sharpton. Birds of a feather..........

[Bob Thatcher]

Well Said Don. I personally like Obama, but after all the Wright dust up forget it. My white ass isn't going to vote for someone who's pastor (of all people) was a bigot. Imagine what the backlash would have been if comments like this had come from Hilary's pastor the Rev. David Duke. If it doesn't bother people, it should.

[Janet Reno]

Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.

The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.

Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.

Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.

Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.

Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON --
Recently, Obama's campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming tax fraud charges — Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and disclose Obama's MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke "GLORK" Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! --

OBAM YOU'RE NO JFK --

"GLORK" Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: "Tales Calculated To Drive You." He is a MUSLIM "Glork" He's MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek.

Michelle Obama should be ashamed.

"GLORK" Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. If Michelle Obama new what her husband -- the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. He is a MUSLIM "Glork" It’s time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He's MAD!!!

THE SPEECH --

The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama's speech takes credit for Ashley's dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic "I Have A Dream" speech. In Obama's speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama's grandmother share; represents Obama's self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama's Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn -- a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama's speech is a brilliant failure.

MUSLIM LIES --

The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign. The danger involved with this self-aggrandizing, -a-hoop, Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama is that -- "Like Father Like Son" Obama is constantly wanting to impress America with "...his incapacity for sound judgment." On top of the horrible crime Obama committed in Harlem, the fact is, we have to hear it from Karl Rove about Obama's latest campaign crisis: "GLORK" Top Ten Obama Lies:

1. Obam said his parents met at the Selma march -- Reality: He was born 4 years before that.

2. Obam said he was a constitutional law professor -- Reality: . . . Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama's primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school..

3. Obam said he spoke fluent Indonesian as a child -- Reality: . . . Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet another Phi Beta Krakatau lie from Obama. Those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israel la Pareira Darmawan, Obama's 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. Truth-be-told: Obama's Indonesian teachers say Kaku-Pooh.

4. Obam said he was involved in community asbestos and housing project for the poor -- Reality: Didn't happen. This was the basis for Barrack and Misshell's claim, that he was a community activist on the South and East Side of Chicago. Usher A+ lie both he and his twenty-four (24) mule-team, Hus-suey loving wife Misshell Obama have been claiming in the campaign -- Reality: The Chicago Newspapers say NO WAY

5. Obam said in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white -- Reality: Didn't happen. Both Magazines (Life and Ebony), and the Rev. Wright and Farrakhan MUSLIM Trumpet Newsmagazine say, just didn't happen.

6. Obam’s Campaign Didn’t Have The “Technical Capacity” To Produce The “1984” Ad:

Obama: “But it's not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don't have the technical capacity to create something like that.” (CNN’s “Larry King Live,” 3/24/07) -- Reality:...The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A “Sunday Afternoon” On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: “I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs.”

7. Obam’s Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them:

“According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama’s Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money.” (Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson, -- Reality: “...An Old Friend's Troublesome Return,” Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07).

8. Obam voted to bring low-cost foreign labor into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina -- Reality:...This was a slap in the face against the African-Americans who were displaced in that city. Obama also voted to place Michael Chertoff, the man responsible for the Katrina catastrophe, in charge of Homeland Security. Obama voted for Senate-Bills that gave Blackwater the funding they needed to shoot the folks of New Orleans who were only trying to save their own lives. The towel head voted to allow Michael Chertoff to waive all applicable laws, including murder, torture, kidnaping, and he suppoted water-boarding.

9. Obam voted more than five times for USA-PATRIOT ACT renewal -- Reality:...This is a Senate-Bill patently offensive to most Americans. City after city has passed resolutions condemning USA-PATRIOT ACT. Obama chose to side with tyranny over freedom and Bush over the folks on this issue. The Real ID Act, which would allow Michael Chertoff to declare martial law and imprison Americans, was supported by Obama, as noted above.

10. Obam is not a MAD MAN. Senator Obama Is not involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor, now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO), or Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley. Senator Obama is not involved in any nuclear security, bribery, money payoffs, or cronyism in the state of Illinois; or criminal activities related to the BIG HALIBURTAN and V.P. Cheney's Halliburton bribery case; or any political misjudgment in his escalating campaign crisis. "GLORK" Senator Obama is not a self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box. Obama executed no crime in Harlem. Obama is Not America's Poison -- Reality:...He's Radio-Active.
