Government checks for multiple out of wedlock births, incentives for irresponsilbe behavior. Meanwhile hardworking lower and middle class couples work two plus jobs to make ends meat and maybe afford one or two kids. Shoosh!! Don't complain or say anything because that will confirm you're a racist.
@nyhero2012 I think we need a two-state solution. That way all of you godless communist bastards in the Northern states can create your little socialist utopia, while we have liberty and free enterprise.
And YOU can have all the Arizona illegals, and all the welfare bums and drug dealers and felons from Memphis and Atlanta - I'm sure your little social programs will make it all better for them.
Oh, by the way, we're going to rape you at the polls tommorow.
gosh i must of missed the racial talk at the dinner table at my house or my friends. Get a life. I never heard so much racial talk since a man has become President that is afro-american then any time of my life. Parse it to death, get over it, and move on, BORING BORING BORING BORING. Take responsibility for ur life, what we need to do is lobotomies on everyone, and get to something worthwhile like economy, hc, anything! stop already!
Nancy Giles is so partisan, so left-wing, so blinded by her own personal and political agenda that she is laughable, ludicrous, and lame and has absolutely no credibility when she opens her mouth and spews her blatantly biased rhetoric and rambling oratory.
Joe is the best thing that MSNBC has going for it. The rest-Matthews, Olbermann, Gregory & Abrams-should just drop trou and let Obama give them the hot man love that they want.
I made it to :39 and had to turn it off. I would like to see a revolution whereby these phony, dirty, lying, spoiled, back-stabbing, over-paid pieces of trash are yanked out of their mansions and tarred and feathered and then kicked out of the country!
I saw that freak Giles giving her opinion on some early show about Wright and she went into some crap with the black host about what the two of them shared, blackness, but the host gave her a look that said GET A LIFE
New Age thinking of humans trying to create heaven on earth. Want real true peace. Turn off the television,the CNN's,MSBN,media,newspaper and the open the Bible to Revelation 3:20 tune into God.
America needs you Harry Truman Harry could you please come home Things are looking bad I know you would be mad To see Obama lie and Prevail upon the land you love Americas wondering How we got here Harry all we get is lies Were gettin worthless Obama an Anti-American who'd sell us out To get himself a piece of power

Only BLACK PEOPLE and far left LIBERALS think this was a good speech and why is obama talking about the war when he is suppossed to be explaining his RACIST PREACHER and anthor thing Im sick of these liberals wanting to tax my hard earned money and give it away to people who dont do shit its not my fault if their dad left them and its not my problem if they were raised in the hood they should take care of themselves
The media is just looking for something wrong for Barack Obama but they couldn't find anything so they go after his pastor. He didn't say those things, obviously you can see that wasn't Obama that said anything. Instead of getting mad at Obama you should be upset with the Pastor not him. Common Sense people!
You really think the media is trying to find something wrong with Obama? They've done everything in their power to get this fraud elected! How do you think an intelligent black guy like Colin Powell feels, with his decorated military background and a flawless political career? Black folks are going "All In" with the worst possible presidential candidate in history...I don't get it? This may be the last chance colored folks get for 100 years after the B. Hussein Obamas destroy the country!
Barack Obama is not the first person to address racism as an issue. Pope John Paul the 2nd and God bless his soul, he came to America more than 1 time and he was very disturbed the about the things that go on in this society. He addressed the issue I mean he's spreading the word of God and obviously you're going to have to tell the Truth. Whether the people like it or not and do you know what happened after he addressed that issue the Media bashed on him. So you think the pope is bias too?
Actually he did address the issue of Racism and he let the people know how terrible it is and how digusting it is. Except he said it in a humble way but it did put the people in place and the media got mad and had a bitch fit about what Pope John paul said.
He did something about it that's why the Vatican won't elect an American pope. He did something you're just a xenophobic anti-catholic that's just spewing filth
Please!!! The pope didn't do a muthafuckin' thing about those preist molesting those children in the church!!! You are fuckin' livin' in an fantasy world!!! The pope is the anti-christ!!! I really have a strong dis-like for you catholic people!!! You are all a bunch of sick minded idiots!!! Fuckin' devils!!!
No you're the one living in the Fantasy world you're just talking out of your ass. You're only saying this to get attention go to a counslor or therapist that's what'll help you.

You are so DAM retarded!!! For saying something sooo.....fucking ignorant! "Only a Cracka.......i mean a white guy would saying something like this. Asshole!
A quick recap: Mr Scarborough completely misses the message Sen. Obama was trying too send. Is it too complicated for people to understand that our collective experiences may never be completely reconciled, but by acknowledging those experiences and building upon what we share, we reinforce the union? Too many people want to play the "my experience is worse that yours" game. Meanwhile, corporateers without consciences erode the principles of our constitution and diminish us all.
Do you think anyone who things America reserves the right to attack any nation that has something that America or a few ppl in America want to be president?
He doesn't think O. J. is innocent. Quite the contrary. Maybe its just your own prejudice seeping out. Not all African Americans this he's innocent. Holster your broad brush.
America's greatest? a 70 year old warmonger that thinks war a natural part of everyday living and rich people deserve preference, a shrill screeching ex first lady that thinks blowing the President is experience, and a guy whose PREACHER says mean things about an America he's mourning, for running over Indians, waging nuclear war on Japan, throwing people into internment camps WWII, and stealing their property, and whizzing on black people 450 years.

I don't see what's wrong with what Joe said. He's always been one of the better conservative pundits I've seen, and handled the Obama/Wright situation relatively professionally, especially compared to right wing nutjobs like Bill O Reilly and Sean Hannity.
"This speech will be remembered as the moment that Obama got a little more down and dirty, and grounded his candidacy in serious mechanics of governance. He tried to take apart the engine and get some grease on his hands rather than just pat the hood."
I was just trying to imagine George Bush or Dick Cheney telling this story on the streets of Baghdad. We need to fix what is actually wrong with us before we move on.
"I cannot remove the mote from your eye, until I perceive the beam in my own..."
Joe Scarborough has become a real prick lately. I used to watch his show, but now I can't stand him. So biased and trying so hard to make us think his way. He loves the controversy. Let's not forget that he was a Florida Republican Congressman.

WHY NOT START WITH HIS TWO DAUGHTERS? Here what Senator Obama will never be able to explain. He has two daughters. He accepted being present when Wright's hate speeches were given—did he exposed both his two daughters to these hate speeches? If he purports to be the seaway between the future and the past, then, why exposed his two daughters to this rhetoric? There is a difference between words and actions and here a clear example.
Did you not listen to the whole speech? There were a wealth of reasons to stay in the church. Running away would have been the wrong solution. Far better to have the kids go and hear from all the 8,000 different perspectives in the church and then have mom and dad as a filter. Eventually, they define their own experience. My grandmother ran a fiery ministry when i was a child. Later my mother had us join the Nation of Islam. Today, I'm an atheist because of my own reasoning.
To make the statements Obama made publicly today was incredible -- to hear a politician address this stuff honestly, without just another bunch of evasions and cliches, is magnificent.
Great speech, exceptionally moving! Although, I would have liked him to separate church and government and he didn't. His reverend has every right to believe whatever he wants. He has every right to preach whatever he wants. I do not want a president who believes like he does and that is my right!
What makes Obama's speech so relevant and brave is the fact that he tackles an issue head on, moving us past the gut-impulse rejection toward a better communal understanding and accceptance of the root cause of our issues and a unified dispostion to solve them together. No spin, simply the powerful, liberating truth.
Obama is the new Dr. Martin Luther King Jr! I'm willing too bet that the folks who demonized Dr. King are now much older and are doing it to Obama.
