I don't know it this has been discussed or not on here. But here it is.....


Obama's Anger:

] "The anger is real. It is powerful, and to simply wish it away, to condemn it without understanding its roots, only serves to widen the chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races."
- Barack Obama


I also asked him why it was so difficult to convince young black men to abandon the streets and take advantage of the same kinds of opportunities that the Vietnamese had recently embraced.
"We're owed and they aren't."
- Barack Obama

We now know that Barack Obama really has no interest in the "audacity of hope." With his race speech, Obama became a peddler of angst, resentment and despair. Too bad he doesn't direct that angst at the liberal establishment that has sold black people a bill of goods since the 1960s.
What Obama seems angry about is America itself and what it stands for; the same America that has provided fabulous opportunities for what my black friend called "hungry" minorities.
Strong families, self-reliance, and a spirit of entrepreneurship should be held up as ideals for all races to emulate.

In the end, we should be very suspicious about Obama's anger and the recent frothings of his close friend Reverend Wright. Says Eric Hoffer:

The fact seems to be that we are least open to precise knowledge concerning the things we are most vehement about.

Vehemence is the expression of a blind effort to support and uphold something that can never stand on its own.

Really? Obama said 'we're owed, and they're not' ? I'd like to see that backed up.

I wouldn't be too concerned. I dont care if a president is angry. I think he has bigger problems (like his inexperience, flip flopping, and unfolding personal life).

No. He didn't. That quote comes from this article: American Thinker: Obama's Anger

It's attributed to an unnamed "black friend".

If people would read instead of scan for incriminating material we'd all be a lot better off.

Thanks for clearing that up! I didn't think Obama would have been fool enough to say that, knowing he would like to go into politics one day.

OP, I'm confused by your anger towards Obama. Tell me I'm generalizing, but you state your location as:When the "rich" get a sniffle, the middle-class catches pneumonia, which is a very liberal saying & then start spouting off on the democratic candidate. I don't know, it just seems odd.
