First thing out of his mouth: Racial

[LibraLiz1973]

I can't stand it.

THIS is the hype baloney people are buying.


On Edit: You don't vote for someone because they are black, white, asian, spanish, indian, female or male. You vote for them because of their politics.
This election is about change- IMPORTANT NECESSARY CHANGE. Not about race. I'm offended that he's making it a race issue.

[mdmc]

1. but racially hopeful

can you here it in his voice?

[rockymountaindem]

2. What'd he say?

My family has changed the channel...

[durtee librul]

3. I agree , even tho I think his intent was different - or at least I hope so!

[SeattleGirl]

4. He who?

:shrug:

[Lex]

6. I know, right?

:wtf:

[colorado thinker]

10. Yeah, who the hell are you talking about?

[uppityperson]

12. Where he who?

:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

31. See?

Here I thought it was just me...

:rofl:

[WilliamPitt]

5. Yeah, cuz there arern't all kinds of people in America.

And he didn't say "We are one nation, and one people" anyway.

:eyes:

[tabasco]

7. WTF are you talking about?

I suspect sour grapes has made you idiotic.

[EFerrari]

11. What IS she talking about?

[Lex]

17. you got me

I suspect hallucinations . . .

[spanone]

8. bs

[Neecy]

9. disgusting post

[journalist3072]

13. I'm not even listening to him...what did he say?

[cabraverde]

14. I am confused

can someone enlighten me.....PLEEEZZZ

[HughMoran]

15. Who and what the FUCK are you talking about

You got something on your mind??

[EFerrari]

16. Are you generally disgusted by successful black men?

Welcome to the list!

[LibraLiz1973]

18. I'm generally disgusted by people who play others.

[AlCzervik]

19. what did he say, i didn't hear it.

[EFerrari]

20. What part of "politician" is unclear to you?

[LibraLiz1973]

25. Ok, I surrender on that one!

[uppityperson]

21. On edit, good, but who is he?

[RL3AO]

22. Obama didn't mention one word about race.

[uppityperson]

23. Ah, that he. Thanks.

How do I know who to be offended by?

[LibraLiz1973]

24. You think the whole "They said it couldn't be done"

part of the speech wasn't about race?

[WilliamPitt]

26. Go back to bed.

[AZBlue]

46. Or maybe, "Have another drink!"

?????

[WilliamPitt]

48. Better advice.

Hopefully, it'll lead to my advice getting followed quicker.

Wow.

:crazy:

[RL3AO]

28. I'd have to listen to it again, but I believe he was talking about his campaign.

[EFerrari]

33. Why do you think race isn't a legitmate topic for a politcian to raise?

America has a long, ugly racist history. It was founded on a genocide and built by slaves. If we manage to take a baby step out of the hatred, that should be a cause for celebration any night of the year.

I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER THAT A BLACK MAN WON IN IOWA. THANKS FOR THE HOPE!

[LibraLiz1973]

37. Are you voting for him because he's black or because he is the best candidate?

I vote for the person- not their skin color or gender.

[EFerrari]

He's not my candidate and he is facilitating the conversation

we need to have, desperately, in this country.

And, you didn't answer my question. Why isn't race be a legit topic for a candidate to broach?

[LibraLiz1973]

64. I find the whole thing offensive

And by that, I also mean people who make Hillary's gender an issue.
She's a woman. He's black. B.F.D.
There have been black and female leaders in other countries.
Why does it have to be such a big deal here? Regardless of gender, race or religion- the best
candidate is the best candidate. I think Obama making it racial or Hillary making it about girl power
is just off.

[Blue_Roses]

63. I can tell

:eyes:

[in_cog_ni_to]

45. LOL....I can't read that. It's too small! What's it say?

I agree! This is a GREAT, GREAT day for our country!

[EFerrari]

53. The subtext is "Neener, neener, neener".

:rofl:

[KAZ]

54. Disgusting pig.

[Richard Steele]

55. I think you're not supposed to take those all at once, is what I think. nm

[HughMoran]

62. No

It was about the stupid talking head pundits that we hate so much at DU.

Obama didn't bring it up - the mindless pundits did.

[Spiffarino]

27. Off topic, but

"What the fuck?"

"Huh?"

"...hallucinations..."

This is why I love DU: It's the genuine Straight Talk Express.

[blogslut]

29. Weak

And grossly inaccurate. Your slip is showing

[LibraLiz1973]

30. blah blah blah... I disagree with the way he does things

and of course I'm a racist.

Dammit, why did I not know that earlier?

[blogslut]

32. You said it, not me

I hear hot milk is good for indigestion.

[LibraLiz1973]

34. Are you INSANE??

That would curdle and make you vomit!!

[blogslut]

36. My stomach is fine

It's you I'm worried about. You seem so troubled.

[LibraLiz1973]

39. Nah, I'm good

[KAZ]

50. Shoe fits, wear it..

[Ikonoklast]

35. I thought it was

"Neener, neener, neener!"



I could be wrong, though.

[Sugar Smack]

41. LEVITY!

:loveya:

[in_cog_ni_to]

38. He didn't say one freakin' word about race. He alluded to the "it can't be done"

meme...which was used against him because he's too inexperienced! Remember? How soon we forget!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

40. Quack

[WilliamPitt]

43. Hee hee hee...

;)

[EFerrari]

51. LOL

[rockybelt]

42. I have caught a lot of crap tonight

because I supposedly trashed Hillary. All I did was point out some flaws. At least those that jumped on me, and that is their right, knew who the hell I was talking about.
Who the hell are you talking about?

[demo dutch]

44. Unfortunately many in this country don't think the same way

[ellisonz]

47. Nuts?

[qanda]

49. How did this thread get 8 recommends?

[WilliamPitt]

52. Irony.

[AlCzervik]

57. a Bill Richardson sucks!!?? thread got like 5 recs today. 8 here should be no surprise at all.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

56. Just be happy for him :)

[Raine]

58. Geeesh I didn't even notice that...

his speech was so good that any racial stuff went by me and I'm not even an Obama supporter.

[calmblueocean]

59. The only one obsessed with race here is you.

Huckabee said pretty much the exact same thing as Obama, because they were both underdog campaigns. Don't let your hate for Obama color your view of reality.

[LibraLiz1973]

65. In all honesty- I did not listen to Huckabee.

[Jim Sagle]

60. What duh?

:wtf:

[zabet]

61. .

[goodgd_yall]

66. WTF?!

[College Liberal]

67. Get a clue

You lost, give up....

[City Lights]

68. What a stretch.

:eyes:

[Orangepeel]

69. people who pretend that race isn't still an issue in this country have their heads up their asses

gender, too.
