Unfiltered Obama

Here's the speech from 2007 that broke today in which, among other things, Obama gives a shout-out to his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The accent is...bizarre. It's like he borrowed Jesse Jackson's vocal chords for the evening.

Mostly it just seems like typical boilerplate delivered to an important segment of his base. I admit that I just skimmed through the video, but the part I did see and hear was kinda...meh. I mean, there's a lot of garden-variety liberal crap, tailored for a black audience, but nothing new (unless I missed something).

And there is the bogus accent (or is the one we're now familiar with the bogus one?)

That's President Blank Slate for you. All things to all people, with not one principle to stand on.

His remarks about poor people (poor black people?) were very revealing. They need to be taught how to get up on time and go to work and how to talk...nannyism at its finest!

I'm thinking I need another dog. And maybe a few more rounds (ammo & bourbon). And maybe another dog. And a few more rounds.

More ammo is always good. As is more bourbon.

Everything about the clown is bogus, so the accent is what he wants it to be, to reach his bogus goals.

Can't have too many dogs, either, especially on cold nights.
