Obama's Other Race Speech
2012-10-03
In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.

"The people down in New Orleans they don't care about as much!" Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims "part of the American family."

The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama's carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.
Video at link. But this is the real issue:
Obama gave the speech in the middle of a hotly-contested presidential primary season, but his remarks escaped scrutiny. Reporters in the room seem to have missed or ignored his most controversial statements. The liberal blogger Andrew Sullivan linked to what he described as a "transcript" of the speech, which turned out not to be a transcript at all, but instead the prepared remarks provided by the campaign. In fact, Obama, who was not using a teleprompter, deviated from his script repeatedly and at length, ad libbing lines that he does not appear to have used before any other audience during his presidential run. A local newspaper posted a series of video clips of the speech, but left out key portions. No complete video of the Hampton speech was widely released.

#8   I have no idea how many of you people were around for Carter and the start of the fake war with finger dude from Afghanistan and the group that has been destroying our country from within for better part of 50 years give or take but my hats off to all of you! What better than to USE a black man in the White House to get the blacks all stirred up and minority against majority through using class warfare and race, itÂ’s been done everywhere BUTT nobody has ever used a black man and so many stupid ass white people before in all of history! The United States has no borders at all and who is killing agents minorities and illegals! These people donÂ’t care about money they donÂ’t even know how to make it, it is about control and power! All those stupid ass artists and the like only a matter of time, gays only a matter of time disabled only a matter of time! Food supply has been turned into a bio weapon why else do all of the countries troops need POWER drinks they never did before! It is the protein that is being compromised from plant to animal to human in the food chain taste difference was noticeable over 10 years ago in beef and meats rotting in less than a week in some cases!
What better than to groom a black man who is half white country club black man to undo the country and turn it upside down for a group of inbred white crackers with no souls and believe they have no souls watch them move and talk they canÂ’t even respond correctly in conversation in any job title! They always try to project and talk down and dissuade from the truth and obfuscate all facts and bend it to their sick end! The fact that so many people can be fooled by so few is pathetic at best remember give the people what they DESIRE and leading them all around by the nose takes no effort at all! The kindness and political correctness is nothing more than an artificial mask they create to meet their goals and end game they have no souls what so ever!
Serbia the only currency was quote HARD CURRENCY and they all demanded German currency for pay offs and trade from the beginning the bank money was not from guns and oil what country in Europe now has all the money? Some of the very people who fought in World War 2 back up the theory of what these people really are and how they have all been duped and fooled like birth defected children born 3 cans short of a six pack! Anyways kids remember MONEY TALKS AND TALK IS CHEAP take it for what it is but remember life is priceless you have ALL BEEN FUCKED FUCKED FUCKED AND RE-FUCKED LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS! May you all find what it is you seek in your Alice In Wonder Land Fucked Up World and remember when it does hit the fan remember what you are fighting for the real War is In Country that would be The United States of America! DonÂ’t believe the LIE! PEACE!

#6  He didn't get that accent growing up in Indonesia and Hawaii. He learned that accent at the feet of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Sounds to me that he is on some "substance" or is he an truely a undiagnosed "schizophrenic" with "megalomaniac" tendancies?
