The Obama tape
A timely reminder that we still don’t really know Obama
The Daily Caller has posted this video, from a speech given by Obama. Parts of the speech have been seen before. (Full speech video here.)
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.
So what do you think?
The Daily Caller then compares Obama’s praise for Wright with other public statements distancing himself:

I still don’t get what some people are NOT getting, this video will do a LOT OF DAMAGE to Obama among wait for it. the white working class, in OH, PA, MI, WI.
Political junkies like us already know most of this stuff, but a lot of non-political junkies just tuning in have no clue about this stuff.
If this video swings 2-3% in OH that may be the difference between an Obama 2nd term and Romney being elected.
Obama is getting 46% of the White vote in OH. With this new race baiting, hate whitey video that could very well drop to 35%, and it may be enough to swing OH. And possibly even WI.
Another thing from the video that just jumped out at me:
Hurricane Andrew wiped out much of Homestead, FL. A predominantly Mexican farm workers area.
Let’s put it this way, the people in FL who hear this tape, will have a fairly strong reaction to it.
With this and the Univision video Obama will lose about 10%-15% more of the Hispanic vote.
And if this video swings a few more working class whites in places like OH, PA, WI, MI, it may be enough to swing the election.
Let me get this straight – we’re calling out Sean Hannity, Drudge & Tucker Carlson, all 3 whom have done, what I’d guess most of the posters here haven’t had the balls to do, which is once again call out this charlatan in the WH, in public.
The FAKE black “southern” accent, the incessant race baiting, fear mongering.
Yeah, they deserve our derision.
Go back to your Mom’s basement, eat your Cheetos, and watch Moaning Joe.
Final comment because my blood is boiling. The race is TIED…all you have do is peel off a percent or two. You think working class whites, hispanics devastated in FL by Hurricane Abdrew etc like to hear a guy pandering with a fake accent telling people the Gov needs to ONLY help black people? This takes heat off Romney’s 47% comments that are already now priced in and if a superpac uses clips of this video in ads in battlegrounds it’ll drive down O’s #s.
I don’t think GAME CHANGER means what some of you think it means…
Obama grew up on the mean streets of Oahu, partying on the beach and smoking choom in BANK executive grandma’s house, i.e. he I can totally see where his accent is coming from.
I predict that Ezra Klein and Journolist will deflect/ignore this video. The more important video is “Innocence of Muslims” – the cause of all the mideast violence. The MSM still controls the narrative.
Barry is just channeling his inner Barbara Bilingsley: “I speak jive.”
I fully expect Obama to implode tonight, and I think his handlers know it as well. That is why they had that hastily planned Hoover Dam visit, so they can blame his performance on his handlers “not making the best use of the time availabe from a busy president”.
This time before the debate should be more of a strategy session on what points to make and what facts to have at the tip of your tongue, but this president needs to cram away 4 years of blatent neglect at understanding the basics of his decision. His handlers know that he is unsure, unstable, and very likely to lash out during the debate.
Bring the popcorn. This is going to be good.
Dear Mr. Obama:
Who is this “Geezez Krise” of whom you speak?
creeper
Oh, we know exactly who and what he is.
This tape just makes it clearer for those who have been generous in their reluctance to doubt what the man’s intentions are.
Of course if they’re watching what he does with any sense and logic, they’ve realized that what he says is not what he does and what he does seems to be consistently less than optimum for the country.
This tape shows the attitude and the reason for that disparity.
Those that wish evil upon our country have always known they must hide their true intent.
And Mr. Obama has paid large sums of money to hide his true intent and those who have invested in his success.
Strange how all those seem to cluster in certain KNOWN REGIONS OF INIMICAL OPINIONS, CAUSES, RELIGIONS AND MILITARY ACTIONS.
He has even been so blatant to place known citizens of these areas in critical positions within his administration.
Almost like he’s being GUIDED (or controlled).
That the Media could put all this together but doesn’t is an indication that they are also controlled by these selfsame regions and opinions or are in accord with them.
Since they are U.S. Citizens (for the most part) that makes their actions TREASON.
Why does anyone think this matters? The left will not budge. Obama could do or say anything and the polls will not reflect any change. The left will simply not allow the military to vote, cheat wherever and whenever they can (knowing they will not be prosecuted) and if that’s not enough the Soros strategy of Democrat Secretary of States for the various states will ensure they select the votes they want. Making sure the people who certify the votes and the results were Democrats was a Soros masterpiece and frankly I am jealous.
Edward Kennedy made sure they could import a new electorate and it worked. With motor-voter, no id voting, and illegals encouraged to vote openly by the Democrats we have passed the point of no return.
The Republican establishment fears and despises the grassroot TEA party to the point that they will collude with the Democrats on this. They would rather accept table scraps from the hard left than work with the true grassroots they neither understand nor like.
Face it, the elites are more like each other than not and have the illegal, dead, dependent, disqualified, and fictional vote locked up for the left and the independent vote convinced the right are redneck racists just waiting to turn back the clock to Cromwell’s England.
When I saw the events in Benghazi, Egypt, and Yemen did not move the polls at all I knew we were finished as a republic. For the left it’s ‘my party right or wrong’. Nothing, not Obama’s old speeches, Fast and Furious, not the Keystone pipeline, EPA Mengele experiments on humans, Brownshirts taking people away in the night, collusion with the Russians to disarm us, nothing, will make the left give up their support for their candidates.
Felons, race baiters, scandal mongers, and perverts are regularly selected and elected by Democrats. As a party they simply have no morals. They are willing to murder babies, side with our enemies everywhere, break our laws, subvert our institutions, allow criminals to terrorize our populace, destroy our economy as long as it furthers their personal or group interests by one iota. In fact, they feel anything is justified simply by that infinitesimal benefit.
We as a nation are finished. If you want to fight, go ahead. You’ll wind up exhausted, marginalized, broke, in jail or dead if you push it far enough or if you are effective. How do you know if you are effective? By how far they’ll go to stop you. If you’re not feeling any heat, you can figure you’re not even an irritant.
Unless Congress finds their collective courage and faces down Obama, Holder et al, we’re finished. When Watergate was going on I remember people wondering if Nixon would have Federal Officers oppose impeachment. Now? We might as well admit that nothing will get Obama impeached. Hundreds maybe thousands dead right across our border directly linked to his administration. Thousands dead and hostile governments installed all across the Middle East. The EPA doing Nazi type experiments on humans that they say ahead of time are lethal. What does congress do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Why aren’t we speculating about Obama using his Feds to oppose subpoenas? Because we know they’ll never be issued and if they’re issued they’ll never be enforced.
So go watch your videos of Obama nodding along with Wright while he says, “God Damn America!” or Obama praising a mass murdering terrorist or whatever other video comes out. He could be caught on tape selling drugs to school kids. It doesn’t matter. The left has this sewn up. Bet on it. If they don’t win they’ll cheat and they have all the force in the world backing them up.
[...] the video of Obama from 2007, I believe, completely vindicates Glenn Beck’s [...]
I’m guessing that 47% of American voters have never heard of Obama’s racist speech. They don’t know that the real Obama agrees 100% with Jeremiah Wright and Saul Alinsky.
