obama does not presume to compare himself to rfk. he simply draws on the rfk speach to site that overcoming racism is a choice we make to understand our brothers. while events all around us threaten to divide us.

One of His Greatest Speech !!!!!

Facebook Sept 4 2009: Barack Obama "Encouraged to see this going around today: "No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status ...")

He is a great motivational speaker, those you watch CLOSER than any other.

This guy is talking you down to bring you up. If he cleaned up Gov waste, HCR for the uninsured 200M Citizens would already be paid 4. ALREADY PAID FOR.

What is the real agenda?

If only people would actually look at Barack Obama's policies, they would see that he is no Bobby Kennedy.

Please people. THNK.

B.O. ain't no R.F.K. Bobby fought tooth & nail to get affordable housing for people in Brooklyn when he was NY Senator. Obama approved housing grant money for Tony Rezko, who took the money & left dilapidated buildings on the South Side of Chicago to rot. Obama & Rezko had known each other for some time. He could not have been as ignorant of Rezko's actions as he claimed.

Obama ain't no Bobby Kennedy - he can try and emulate him but it rings hollow.

no one should be held accountable for the comments made by those associated to them. the thoughts of others should not be linked to the thoughts of your own. with that said, after 8years of obviously poor descion making the choice for a new start should be clear. please America lets not pass on an opertunity to change the direction of this country, lets not pass on someone whom i truely feel can do better than the options we currently have. for us for or kids and for the future of our homeland.

First he throws his grandma under the bus to distract from this racist ass preacher then somehow compares what Geraldine Ferraro said as being the same as the racist ass shit the racist preacher said.

That along with he attended this church for 20 yrs and didnt know that this preracher was a racist bastard because he missed the real bad sermons yeah I believe that I beleive that Obama is either not as bright as he seems to appear or he thinks that your not bright enough to see past his BS

[JimboTHC]

You know if he's been doing this for 25 years how come they have 3 sound bytes they loop endlessly.

You would have to be stupid to think thats all that represents the person.

Try again when you find a clip of Obama saying something like that.
