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.'

so we can expect bush and mccain to make speeches like this this week then?

If anything this situation is further proof that religion should have absolutely nothing to do with politics. All organized religion does is divide people.

I don't fully trust this chart thing which, for one, fails to take into account 'set up' lines in speeches, but among African Americans, Obama's ratings went OFF THE CHARTS!

Wright's speech is representative of how many blacks feel. So, what does this say about America?

It says, Barack will throw his grandmammie under the bus for political gains.

The only problem with this little chart is if you look in the left hand corner of the screen there, see what it says? Fox News Channel. That completely ruins any credibility of any "stats" that may be displayed elsewhere on the screen. So all in all this video is worthless.

Uh hello...the "real time tracking" is cool, right?  C'mon now, who drew that chart and animated a (screen) over it???
