Obama, You Blew IT!

Jeremiah Wright - Hillary Clinton ain't never been called...

Up to this time I have been in favor of Barack Obama. Up to this time then last night I saw the interview conducted by Anderson Cooper where Obama was trying to distance himself from the frenzy over the sermon of Jeremiah Wright. Everybody has seen the edited version of that video. I am certain that it has probably been viewed world wide.

Now, here is the thing. I saw that video, as have the majority of those living in the U.S. and I could not find it to be offensive or untruthful ( except for the 911 comment that does not appear in the video ). Any ethnic, especially blacks know that everything that Jeremiah Wright said about the black mans plight was true! Deep down inside Obama knows that this is true. But what does he do? He now tries to distance himself from all of it!
Well, when I saw that on Anderson Cooper last night my views on Obama changed. Jeremiah Wright spoke the truth of the black mans ( and other ethnics ) plight in the U.S. not the ideological rhetoric of a politician! He spoke the Reality of the ethnic experience in the U.S. not the ideological American Dream story!

The more I heard Obama speak the more I realized that this is a man I cannot back or trust. Up until last night he had my vote but now, that has changed. How can anyone trust an individual who tries to distance himself from something that every ethnic living in the U.S. knows is true! Political rhetoric to save his butt during a presidential campaign? Even less reason to be trusted.

Obama, if you ask me you blew it Kiddo! There are a lot of blacks and ethnics out there that are probably thinking the same thing I just expressed. I suspect that the Anderson Cooper interview ( aired March 14, 2008 ) is going to cost Obama dearly!

Note: I tried finding the video of that interview but was unable to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Barack Obama Speech on Race

About this video
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Barack Obama confronted the nation's racial divide head-on Tuesday, tackling both black grievance and white resentment in a bold effort to quiet a campaign uproar over race and his former pastor's incendiary statements.

Now lets listen to the Obama speech on Race. It is a 4 part video.

Barack Obama Speech on Race - Part 1 of 4

Barack Obama Speech on Race - Part 4 of 4

I listened to the speech and all of the eloquent words and the little story and I come away asking this," Is he talking truth and reality or is this more Political, patriotic idealism, that has been spewed out for the past 300 years at election time? "

Don't get me wrong, I am not an advocate of hate but neither am I some naive idiot as to what we must confront on a regular basis in the" Mean " streets of our cities.
Jeremiah Wright spoke truthfully of the black mans plight, which in essence is the reality of all ethnics in the U.S.

My wife told me that Obama has to say these things in order to continue his race for the presidency. Well, if that is the case then it's politics not truth and reality. I would rather deal with a man who will call me Spik to my face than one with eloquent speech's and pat's on the back. At least I know where the first one is coming from, I would not be able to trust the second!

But who am I except a lowly man on the streets in a pre-depression era!
