Obama Assails Absent Black Fathers

The NYT has a column up today on Obama's Father's Day speech. Here's an excerpt:“
"'Too many fathers are M.I.A, too many fathers are AWOL, missing from too many lives and too many homes,' Mr. Obama said, to a chorus of approving murmurs from the audience. 'They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it.'”
This strikes me as refreshing, helpful, and also politically sagacious. This is the Obama that would be hard to stop.

And quick. Here let me help.
My name is Kimbat, and I have been blinded by the coming. I hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil-unless of course you mention GWB. Then, I become copmpletely deranged and hypocritical of everything and everyone who is not Obamessiahed."
As usual, instead of talking about the point, you go into your perception that war crimes have been committed. Well, MG, Congress wouldn't give Bush the credit and did not declare War. Only the "Authorized Use of Military Force." STHU, you ignorant witch, your BDS is there and we see it, every day. |

Kimberly - like most other liberals - is blinded by Bush Derangement Syndrome.
First of all - Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and Al Gore all said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. This fact is undisputed. The leaders of the U.K. and numerous other countries said it as well.
Here's a little Civics 101 class for all you victims of Bush Derangement Syndrome - the Senate and House committees on intelligence sees the EXACT same intelligence report that the president sees.
And guess what - Congress voted to authorize war with Iraq after seeing it.
There is a double standard in this country that is disgusting.
If President Bush, Senator McCain - or any other white person in the public eye - had said these things they'd be called racists.
There are two speech codes in this country - one, very limited and heavily scrutinzed one, for whites and one for everyone else. |

Kimberly:
I believe you're among those Obama supporters who are paid to monitor blogs. I began ignoring you when you childishly kept referring to McCain as McSame. Last week, I concluded you are a troll after you criticized McCain for referring to his five-and-a-half year POW experience.
That said, I'll go down this path one last time and counter you with the following:
Explain the involvement of the Democratic Congress in the subprime mess, in general, and Countrywide, in particular--

As far as prosecuting Bush is concerned, even the LA Times is carrying an article contradicting your version of events (an article by a writer from center-left The New Republic--ouch!):
http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-oe-kirc hick16-2008jun16,0,7766785.story?track=rss
I urge all to read it. And Kimberly, when you have, stop saying Bush lied.
Circling back to the post, nice to hear Obama so speaking. But isn't that what black men like Walter Williams, Bill Cosby, and some others have been saying for years? And isn't Obama the guy who sat in the church with the pastor who said the that government introduced crack into black neighborhoods and then passed a three-strike law to imprison black males?
I'm not convinced that Obama has graduated from the political school of blame to the political school of personal responsibility. When he and other blacks start echoing the sentiment that "education is not a 'white' thing," I'll be convinced they are beginning to turn the corner.

for quite sometime for his politicking.
If obama cared so much what the black man was doing as far as family why didn't he use his good old buddies Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger and Louis Farrahkan to get black men to be "fathers."
Obama always seems to use what he thinks is politically expedient to try to get votes.
Where was Obama when he was that "community organizer?" Was the "community" of black men only important when he was trying to steal elections?

long ago that Michelle Obama was whining about having to do everything herself because Obama wasn't around.
"By the time their second child was born, he reported, 'my wife's anger toward me seemed barely contained. "You only think of yourself," she would tell me. "I never thought I'd have to raise a family alone."
"Mrs. Obama finally got tired of being enraged and miserable. 'One day I woke up and said, I can't live my life mad. This is just no fun,' she reports. 'For a period in my life, I thought the help I needed had to come from Barack. It wasn't that he didn't care, but he wasn't there. So I enlisted moms and babysitters and got help with the housecleaning, and I built that community myself.'

Now he's ripping off Cosby? Just joking. However, it is interesting that Cosby gets ripped for saying the same thing. Matt, you should have included the rest of Obama's speech, which was basically the government moving into your livingroom. |

I heard today (Laura Ingraham's new show) that Sen. Daniel Patrick Monihan (Tim Russert's political mentor) was called a racist for saying in a 1965 report what Obama said yesterday.
What an epiphany. |
