He made a clear statement that the people looking at each other fearing they will take each other's jobs is what big business wants. It keeps all people of all colors occupied distrusting each other and blaming each other while the officers of the companies plot to move those jobs offshore. Because our government makes it more profitable for them to do so.
I think that makes it pretty clear what kind of change he is advocating. You can only claim to be confused if you didn't listen. |
You're absolutely right Jim, but hasn't every politician that has ever been said the same thing? I'll bet I can even find some quotes like that from Stalin, Hitler, and your favorite politician, George W. Bush. Like I said before, talk is cheap, what has he done in Illinois for example to foster those statements?

Would you find him a better candidate if he divorced her or denounced her for speaking out about her pride in America becoming most apparent to her of late?
Pouncing on her words is childish. It is an excuse to find something to get riled up about. So she is proud of the way the American people have accepted a man of color as their potential leader for the first time in her adult life and didn't parse the words as precisely as you might have liked. |
So with these comments you're telling me that you never listen to what your wife has said, that she has never pushed you into a direction that you may not have wanted to go? Please, that’s what wives do, they consul and “help” their husbands make decisions.
Point of fact is, that if she can say those things, can it be assumed that Barack is not inclined to think the same general direction?
Whether or not I am a Christian has little to do with what is clearly pointed out by the actions of others. I may be Christian enough to forgive, but are they Christian enough to NOT do something they need to be forgiven for?

Would you expect that his speech would be a direct quote from the Rev. Wright's notebook? Would you expect him to come out with hate speech BEFORE he is elected to office?
Did Bush 41 say no new taxes?
Did Clinton say "I did not have sex with that woman."?
What has he done in Illinois that makes him such a great candidate for POTUS?
