Charles Krauthammer on Obama 'race' speech

Fox News Channel's Special Report program hosted by Brit Hume, March 19 2008. Panelist Charles Krauthammer gives us his take on Barack Obama's March 18(incorrectly dated on video) speech on race following the exposure of Obama's pastor and mentor, Jeremiah Wright, and his dodgy sermons (incorrectly spelled as "semons" on video!).

SourKraut wasn't trying to analyze the speech, that's not his job. His job is to spin everything he says negatively and indulge the animosities of Obama's detractors. Not once, did sourKraut quote Obama accurately, for that would make his job harder. SoutKraut simply made biased presumtions about Obama's mindset at the time. The may satisfy the nut-fringe of the Right, but it kills his credibility with normal people, people with no ideological dog in the fight.

@funkbrother216: Everything you wrote here is a complete and utter lie.

Charles is a genius. Do a Wiki search of the mans Bio... If you still think he is a hater or unintelligent, you need your head examined. Why is it that if someone criticizes this Administration, he or she is automatically labeled as a racist or hatemonger. People on the left, please think before you comment. If Charles is using words too many multi-syllable words, just Tevo him and replay him at a slower speed.. and use a dictionary.

@ProudToBeCanadian

Your a conservative Canadian? Same here:):) I met another one the other day to and I was just so surprised by it. I sound like a cheerleader but so much Liberal political racism exists in our country. Our once strong Canadian identity is almost destroyed but were slowly growing in number. Very slow but still some what growing. Happy to find a channel dedicated to the cause:) I'm subbed

@NLR884evr He's an idiot who advocated for the war in Iraq and, presently, war against Iran. Nothing intellectual about that.

4 /4

From Obama’s speech in San Francisco:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," he said.

"And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,"

3 /4

From Obama’s Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the {Muslims} should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' page 261.

2 /4

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father:

I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

1 /4 Obama’s Anti-American sentiment.

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating> myself to whites.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
