Obama's wife in a racist video?

:rolleyes2:

This might be what you're talking about.

I'll be surprised, but not terribly shocked if it is true. Michelle Obama hasn't been quiet about her views before, and from the text in that blog I can certainly understand her reason for rage... if that's what actually happened.

Now then, am I the only one disturbed that there seems to be no end of scrutiny and lack of understanding about what goes on at the Obamas' former church? If someone took one of my church's sermons out of context, or just wasn't familar with my church and what we're about, I imagine that there'd be all sorts of idiotic judgements from people who aren't members. And if one or two of our members were nationally famous? Cripes. I don't even want to imagine it.

Why is it suddenly okay to pass judgement on someone's conduct within their church (like a family or a close-knit community of friends)? There seemed to have been an understanding in politics and media in the decades since JFK made his famous speech that someone's church, like their family, was off limits. That sentiment has clearly gone by the wayside in the desperation to find any damaging goods on Barack Obama. It disappoints me, as an American. We, as a nation, should be above such low prodding and infiltration.

You guys can spin it how ever you want. What ever it takes to make you feel happy. Regardless, Obama lied about what he saw in that church, he lied about what went on in that church, and if he had been going there for 20 years he would know exactly what goes on in that church. All he did was do the standard Politicians ass covering when it became public. Hey Mika, Obama's wife also said this "I have never been proud of my country until now" so in all the history of the US, she has never been proud of it. That's really lame.

With a longer history of slavery and racism than it's had peace and equality by several hundred years... is it a wonder why a black person might only feel proud of our nation in the last few decades? :anime:

As for Obama lying about "what happened at church".... I'm sorry, but... that strikes me as silly and reaching to find fault in him, based off other people.

Hell, I haven't been proud of our country in the slightest the past 8 years. Does that make me a communist?

He's black. He can't be racist.










...I always thought of Obama as being 'whiter' than most black people (and some white people) anyway.

If I were an American, I wouldn't be proud of my country either.

Again you can spin this to your liking if you see the need. She said what she said. Frankly anyone that agrees with her is out of their freaking mind IMO. Yes there have been some very awful things in our history, but to say that there is nothing about this country to be proud of ever up until now is just ignorant.

He lied about what he saw and heard there until he got caught in the lie. If you chose to defend a liar for president that's your deal, but he did lie. It makes me wonder what other lies he's been telling.

If I were an American, I wouldn't be proud of my country either.

Oh yes yes, and I sure what ever country you are from is just perfect. I mean it must be all daisy's and parties in the park in your country.

I love these threads.

Yeah, this is why I don't think politics should be discussed on the internet. People use the "shield of a computer", if you catch my drift......

With that said, if this is true, I will say this: Barack Obama is not his wife.

 

[Z-Unit]

True dat. Who cares what his woman does, Obama is who really matters.

He's black. He can't be racist.

Anyone can be racist if they dislike another due to the color of his/her skin. The Creoles are racist against blacks despite the fact that they too are part black (I was watching the history on Jazz and that was mentioned). And many blacks are racist against Hispanics, Jews and Whites. Many Chinese are racist against anyone who isn't Chinese.

Some people are just better at hiding the fact they are racist then others. Obama belongs to a church where the congregation and it's leaders are racist. If it's true about his wife making racist comments then what does that say about him?

And incidentally, *IF* the film exists and if it comes out what then? Would it change how someone is going to vote? It might and it might be damning to his campaign. I hope if this video DOES exist that it comes out sooner rather then later.

Unless Obama and his wife are doing hilarious impersonations of Asian people, cracking horrible Mexican jokes and eating fried chicken with watermelon I don't wanna bother watching that video.





But really, if this video exist this might screw Obama over...
