Obama Speech: 'A More Perfect Union' (~37 minutes)
Barack Obama speaks in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center, on matters not just of race and recent remarks but of the fundamental path by which America can work together to pursue a better future.
I made it about five minutes into this. The world is on fire and he has time to all this time to talk about being black. Sorry, but it's not good enough.
I have long been disgusted by his church, so I haven't looked at the "firestorms" as an issue. I'm actually more critical of his association with Saul Alinsky.
Are you sure you want to to toss the word "raving" around, buck?
Don't make me laugh! I can't give Hillary Clinton a pass for her former associations with Saul Alinsky, so why should I give BHO a pass for the same? Face it, we're in deep trouble. You're quibbling over which poison we ingest.
Seventeen years later, another young honor student was offered a job as an organizer in Chicago. By then, Alinsky had died, but a group of his disciples hired Barack Obama, a 23-year-old Columbia University graduate, to organize black residents on the South Side, while learning and applying Alinsky's philosophy of street-level democracy. The recruiter called the $13,000-a-year job "very romantic, until you do it."
