Barack Obama Take Note — If I Am A Typical White Person – Then You Are A Typical Politician
Well it looks like “the chickens have come home to roost” for Barack Obama. Mr. Change, Mr. Hope and Mr. Yes We Can — has finally pulled back the curtain to reveal that he is a typical politician who will do and say anything to get elected.
On Tuesday standing in front of eight U.S. flags, Obama lectured us on the Constitution, slavery and race relations. While defending his race-baiting, hate-mongering pastor, Jeremiah Wright Jr., Obama threw his grandmother down the stairs.
“I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother — a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.”
Obama tells a different story on the incident on pgs. 88-91 in “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.” Here is how Steve Sailor explained the difference:
“According to Obama’s 1995 book, it is not at all true that she “once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street.” Instead, she once confessed her fear of one aggressive black beggar who didn’t pass by her but instead confronted her, demanded money, and then harassed her — an intelligent, level-headed woman who had worked her way up to a mid-level corporate management position — good reason to believe he would have violently mugged her if her bus hadn’t pulled up.”
Obama gave a third version of his grandmother story on Thursday during a radio interview on WIP AM 610 Sports Radio in Philadelphia, to host Angelo Cataldi.
“The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is the typical White person, who uh, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know. You know, There’s a reaction that it’s been bread into our experiences that don’t go away and sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that’s just the nature of race in our society we have to break through it. And what makes me optimistic is you see each generation being a little less like that, and that’s powerful stuff”
Barack Obama who was the post-racial candidate has now become the candidate of race. His father, a black man from Kenya and his mother a white woman from Kansas, gives him no claim or ancestry to slavery.
I have more creds on slavery then Obama; after all my forefathers thousands of years ago were slaves in Egypt under cruel Pharaoh’s. — Get the point.
Barack Obama is slipping in the polls because he has no credibility and lacks sound judgement. He’s spinning and talking and parsing just like every politician. He’s been unmasked as an empty suit to go along with his empty words.
Gateway Pundit has this take here.

An Angeleno's View of the World 
When you call his pastor, race baiting and hate mongering, to which comments do you refer? I could definitely see his comments as anti-American, but not racist. With the exception of the Aid’s comment I think they were all pretty much true, as well. I would like to know which of the comments with which you take issue?
Geber22,
So does that mean you believe what Rev. Wright says? You believe that the US government was responsible for 9/11, the government developed the AIDS virus to kill blacks, the government pushed drugs to kill blacks?
All of that is hate-mongering and yes very anti-American. Do you approve and believe this?
Racism? Well anytime you preach hate about whites that’s as racist as preaching hate against blacks.
But this is ALL about why Barack Obama would attend this Church for 20 years and then defend his pastor and change the subject to blame us about Race relations.
I and a large number of Americans of all races take offense to ALL of Rev. Wright’s comments.
Obama’s arguments and Rev. Wright are the same that I heard for myself from Malcolm X over 30 years ago.
This country has moved way beyond those stereotypes today. I rest my case.
Well the 9/11 report, as stated by Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul, states that 9/11 was indeed partly a response to some of our actions.

Further if you listen to the whole sermon, Pastor Wright was quoting somebody else when he said the chickens came home to roost. So is this Anti-American, some would say so, I say it’s Anti the American govt for sure.
Released on April 13, 1989, the Kerry Committee report concluded that members of the U.S. State Department “who provided support for the Contras were involved in drug trafficking…and elements of the Contras themselves knowingly received financial and material assistance from drug traffickers.”

With regards to the Aids virus, there is absolutely no proof to substantiate that claim, but there is the Tuskegee experiment. Which was an awful breach of trust, when the U.S. govt
I don’t recall Rev Wright preaching hate about whites at all, can you cite a specific quote? Or are you saying that by attacking America he is attacking whites? That sounds like some real racism to me.
A couple of points. When you say this country has moved beyond something you are speaking for yourself. African Americans as a community and individually don’t have to forgive America for anything, just like America doesn’t have to forgive Bin Laden for 9/11. Sorry, if America didn’t want to be linked to Racism it shouldn’t have been so deeply rooted in it. This is the equivalent of Charles Manson saying his murders are a thing of the past.
Second when has America ever denounced it’s bigotry, is the father of this country still not George Washington a slave owner. Is that moving forward? How many slave owners do we still honor with statues and holidays.
Finally I find it hysterical that the right is so concerned about matters of race, after W, visited Bob Jones University in 2000 in spite of the fact that it did not allow interracial dating.
Just remember I get to decide when I forgive somebody for something not you!
A RON PAUL TRUTHER!!!! Is your rant over?
You attempt to do the Left’s usual dance of Moral Equivalency, weakening your very angry comment and never answering the questions about Barack Obama’s character and judgement.
You changed the subject, just like Barack did on Tuesday, March 18th 2008.
Yes Barack is now the Race candidate. What happened to his vision of hope and change?
He’s got you railing on about how awful America is — just like Barack’s wife Michelle Obama.
Maybe you are really Cindy Sheehan?
Ha! Yes no comment. Let me let you in on a little secret, something you might not be privy to, which is America does indeed have an ugly history. Not a little ugly, very very very very ugly. As ugly as they come.
Now with that said how am I changing the topic. I addressed everything that Reverend Wright discussed. I believe it was Obama’s critics that tried to change the subject by picking a 30 second sound bite from a preacher, a mis-characterization of a man, and making it the focus of a great man’s candidacy for the white house. Reverend Wright has done more good for America and Americans than his critics.
Of course there will always be critics, but there are others, such as myself who realize that no matter how ugly a past we have, we can have a bright future! That’s why we stand behind Obama. Barack’s vision of hope and change is not just his, but all of America’s. We will defeat the usual suspects, and bring about real change, you are welcome to come along for the ride.
You seem to be a very angry American and you put a lot of trust in Obama to change all that you believe is wrong with this country
Good luck in the quest for Obama’s “change”, “hope” and “yes we can” mantra in the upcoming Democratic Convention.
Even if Obama gets elected to President, I think you will see that what he purports to promise now, will never get accomplished. What he will do, however, is emulate the “feats” of Jimmy Carter.
God help America!
But at least we can agree that we can disagree.
And this is what the Dipsticks offer us as their candidate. WAKE UP AMERICA!
And geber22, how many people died to free the slaves in the 19th Century? How many? What color were they primarily? THAT WAS 140 YEARS AGO! It’s done.
The “Obamania” phenomenon resembles “The King’s New Clothes.”
Obama constantly plays the race card. But, after all, I am “a typical white person.” so why does it matter what I think and feel?
Liberals who support him only want to feel good about themselves because he is black. Although he sounds lofty, it is all a bunch of hot air…His rhetoric is not substantial. A mother can make her hobo son sound like a corporate CEO, but once we get to the bottom of Obama’s words, they only are platitudes that lead to dead ends with no productive changes.
But if one judges a person not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character, John McCain is far above Barack Obama.
Obama is not good at estimating other peoples’ characters: Jeremiah Wright, and the terrorist who blew up a government building, and that Chicago thief. If Obama thinks that he will be able to find the “good” in the leader of Iran, and so on, God help America.
