Mr. Obama, in his speech, trying to undo damage from his PREVIOUS speech:
"The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity," he said. "But she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know. . .there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."
********************************************************
Wrong!
The point he was making was that his grandmother did harbor racial animosity and he then equated her with the anti-American racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright!
He threw his ailing grandmother under the bus.
I thought that Liberals have been telling us for a YEAR, that Barack Obama is The Man Who is Going to Heal the Country, Because HE is "BEYOND RACE". Anybody ELSE remember that? I, mean, just listen to what he's saying here:"a typical white person"? I guess that means, if I am a "typical white person", I look at any Blacks I don't know on the street as muggers and criminals.
First of all, in some situations there is a REASON to fear stangers "on the street"! What do you think the white kids of University of No. Carolina think, when they see 3 Urban Youths approaching them, with baggy shorts or pants fallen down over their asses, and backward ball caps? Don't you think they FEAR being SHOT OR STABBED FOR THEIR ATM CARDS AND PIN NUMBERS, like their fellow students were? But Obama says his grandmother is the "typical White person", meaning Racist, let's not KID ourselves.
*******************************************************
It looks like he threw her under the bus again...
And this time he threw "white people" under the bus with her.
He truly was hanging with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright too long.
Could you even imagine if any white person would have said--
"But she is a typical black person"?
More... Does that make Jesse Jackson the typical white person?
Still More... Steve Sailor reported on how Obama described the incident with his grandmother and a bum (who was black) in his book:
'He was very aggressive, Barry. Very aggressive. I gave him a dollar and he kept asking. If the bus hadn't come, I think he might have hit me over the head."
This is a far cry from how he is describing the incident with his grandmother today.
He is just using his ailing grandmother to score political points.
Sick.

"Obama's congregation subscribes to what it calls the Black Value System, which is described as a disavowal of “our racist competitive society” and the pursuit of “middle-classness.” That is defined as a way for American society to “snare” blacks rather than “killing them off directly” or “placing them in concentration camps,” just as the country structures “an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.”
“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in the church-affiliated magazine Trumpet four years after the attacks. “White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”
The op-ed included details of a sermon Wright gave at Howard University blaming America for starting the AIDS virus, training professional killers, importing drugs, shamelessly supporting Israel, and creating a racist society that would never elect a black man as president.
At the time, Wright explained: “When [Obama’s] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli” to visit Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, “a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.”
Wright continued: “Fact No. 4: We put [Nelson] Mandela in prison and supported apartheid the whole 27 years he was there. We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. Fact No. 5: We supported Zionism shamelessly while ignoring the Palestinians and branding anybody who spoke out against it as being anti-semitic.”
His voice rising, Wright was on a roll: “Fact No. 6: We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. They’re just finding out about that. We care nothing about human life if the ends justifies the means. Fact No. 7: We do not care if poor black and brown children cannot read and kill each other senselessly. We abandoned the cities back in the '60s when the riots started and it really doesn’t matter what those nations do to each other; we gave up on them and public education of poor people who live in the projects . . .”
Wright went on: “Fact No. 8: We started the AIDS virus, and now that it is out of control, we still put more money in the military than in medicine; more money in hate than in humanitarian concerns. Everybody does not have access to healthcare, I don’t care what the rich white boys in the Senate say. Listen up: If you are poor, black and elderly, forget it.”
