Another Crazy Obama Pastor!!!!! From the Trinity Church

Denial? Just because he's half black/half white that makes him qualified to end white privilege? What else is he going to do? Cure Cancer?

 

the point I was making about the lobbyists is that he is tied to them. Yes, you are correct, Obama isn't tied to the ones McCain is - yet.

I'm not ignoring McCain's ties to lobbyists. He's been in the senate way too long to have clean hands. We all know that. Nothing surprises me about him. Just because I'm not posting about McCain doesn't mean I think highly of him. I'm just posting about Obama because nobody else is. I just want to bring out more information that you may or may not know about him. I certainly want to know what we are getting into with Obama.

As I said before, I don't completely buy his good guy messiah persona. I want to know more and share with you all.

 

You have a point, but according to Drexlerfan, Obama would be a step in the right direction.

 

Axelrod isn't a registered Lobbyist in Illinois because of loose disclosure laws, but he might as well be one.

But the activities of ASK (located in the same office as Axelrod's political firm) illustrate the difficulties in defining exactly who a lobbyist is. In 2004, Cablevision hired ASK to set up a group similar to CORE to block a new stadium for the New York Jets in Manhattan. Unlike Illinois, New York disclosure laws do cover such work, and ASK's $1.1 million fee was listed as the "largest lobbying contract" of the year in the annual report of the state's lobbying commission. ASK last year proposed a similar "political campaign style approach" to help Illinois hospitals block a state proposal that would have forced them to provide more medical care to the indigent. One part of its plan: create a "grassroots" group of medical experts "capable of contacting policymakers to advocate for our position," according to a copy of the proposal. (ASK didn't get the contract.) Public-interest watchdogs say these grassroots campaigns are state of the art in the lobbying world. "There's no way with a straight face to say that's not lobbying," says Ellen Miller, director of the Sunlight Foundation, which promotes government transparency.

 

Captain Obvious at work.

 

What are you basing Obama's qualification on? The color of his skin?

 

Let's replace Rev Pfleger comment's with Obama's name and see if it has the same affect:


"I really believe that HE just always thought, 'This is mine! I'm Obama I'm black, and this is mine! I just gotta get up and step into the plate,' " he said. "And then out of nowhere came, 'Hey, I'm Hillary Clinton,' and He said, 'Oh, damn! Where did you come from? I'm black! I'm entitled! There's a white woman stealing my show!'

"He wasn't the only one crying," he added, and feigned weeping. "There was a whole lot of black people crying."

Now how many people would be offended?

 

All speculation. There are many men like Obama who could do something but don't - Bill Clinton for one (afterall he was America's first Black President ). It's obvious you want me to say Obama just for the satisfaction of seeing me say it, so just to please you...Among the three, one would ASSUME Obama. Until then when he actually does something about it, he's ALL TALK!

So answer my question

Give me a reason why you believe Obama will do the things he SAYS he will do.

 

Oh really? So there is no Black Privlege ? Black Privilege happens all the time in the Music Industry. I've seen it with my own eyes both on the radio level and at the record company level. The very people that control the airwaves and influence society thru music.

Read this book. You will find it very interesting.

Written by a Harvard-educated lawyer who grew up in many of the oldest black elite organizations, Graham is best known for his undercover work as a busboy at an all-white Connecticut country club, where he exposed its social practices of exclusion.
Graham’s controversial book not only profiles some of the most prominent black names and institutions in twelve different U.S. cities, but it also gives the inside scoop on such by-invitation-only black society groups like Jack & Jill, the Links, the Boulé, the Girl Friends and the Guardsmen. After his six years of research, Graham shares information on the right fraternities and sororities, the right black boarding schools, the right black churches in each city, as well as which prominent black families continue to give back to the black community and which now exploit their light complexions to “pass” as white.
A second-generation alumnus of the Jack & Jill children’s group, a member of the 90 year old Boulé and the son of a Link, Graham offers a perspective that only an insider would have.
