Not only that, but I'm sure (not) these right-winger outlets just happened to stumble on these "new" portions of the 2007 speech in the past few days! Had nothing to do with the election being about a month away or the first presidential debate being one night away, of course! Please. [Legitimate news outlets report news (which this is, since we haven't heard it before) when they first have the story; in contrast, partisan advocates hold on to news until a politically propitious moment to release it.]
And then there's Obama's actual remarks here, which contain plenty of ugliness in themselves. Although, to me, there's nothing highly shocking or surprising about them. Obama's a far leftist, and he's (albeit typically through his minions and surrogates) a blatant race baiter. He's not a "uniter." He's not a man of high moral conviction. He's not a hero. He's just another slimy politician who constantly tries to hide what he really believes and wants to do. Like there's anything new about any of that (as least to me).
In Obama's remarks, he talks (frankly, often rants and wildly gestures) in this exaggerated Southern-style accent that he rarely (if ever) has used in his public speeches, sounding like something out of a bad pro wrestling Rock interview ("Where's yo' dolla's?!?, screams Obama!) -- I was just waiting for Obama to break into a "Can Ya Smell What Barack Is Cooking" catchphrase!
As for the content (his words, not mine):
-"The people down in New Orleans [Hurricane Katrina victims] -- they [the Feds] don't care them about as much!" This insinuation here was that the federal government under Clinton and W Bush cared more about disasters where more white people were allegedly involved -- Hurricane Andrew and 9-11 (both referenced by Obama). But of course! White man presidential administrations are always gonna care more about their own race! It's only natural. But so much for Bubba being the first black president, I suppose.
-Obama then accuses the feds under those prior administrations of only paying attention to disasters affecting African-Americans (e.g., Katrina, the LA Riots) when "they wake up" and suddenly realize that "black people angry!" Even then, according to Obama, the federal response is just a wink and a nod and "some aid money [that] we don't always know where it's going" until "the news coverage quiets down." Again, any prior administration (whether gop-er or democrat party) inherently hates black people as a fact of life, Obama insinuates. But also again, the "Big Dog" (Clinton) gets tossed under the bus -- the same slimeball (Clinton) who was Obama's featured speaker at the democrat party national convention last month! And I like to call Romney Mr. Stand-For-Nothin'!
-Obama makes a point to give a "shout out" to his "friend" and reverend, Jeremiah Wright, whom Obama credits with providing "counsel" to him and the Obama family. Wright -- best known for his previous radical "white racist under every bed" and "God Damn America" rhetoric -- has always been claimed by Obama and his surrogates to be little more than an irrelevant local preacher whose church Obama just happened to attend for many years: As the democrat party narrative went, Obama wasn't particularly close to Wright, and there shouldn't be any "guilt by association." Two words: False narrative.
-For good measure, and in classic leftist world-view style, Obama insults lower income Americans as being too stupid to ever possibly look out for themselves, even needing training and help with the most mundane of everyday lifestyle tasks, such as "showing up for work on time." Said Obama: "We can't expect them to have all the skills they need to work. They may need help with basic skills, how to shop, how to show up for work on time, how to wear the right clothes. We have to help them get there!" And I thought Romney was (and have criticized him for being) the one who writes off huge swaths of the population as being utterly helpless!
-Finally, for an infrastructure sort of guy who believes that government-funded roads, bridges and highways built your small business rather than you, Obama sure seems to dislike certain aspects of that same infrastructure: "We don't need to build more highways out in the suburbs [insinuation: where all the white folk live] . . . We should be investing in minority-owned businesses, in our neighborhoods, so people don't have to travel from miles away." Right! No minorities live in suburbs! And only minorities live in "our neighborhoods" -- where they're forced to drive around on mud roads sans even a mere sprinkle of gravel! No damn wonder they need training in how to get to work on time.
