Mrs. Obama said, in an interview on the liberal TV show "Today" on liberal TV station NBC, "We hear time and time again voters are tired of this ... they don't want to hear about this division, they want to know what are we going to do to move beyond these issues ... and what made me feel proud of Barack in this situation is that he is trying to move us as a nation beyond these conversations that divide." That was in reference to racist, anti-American remarks her pastor made recently (no not just snippets fr4om decades ago) (no, not just her husband's pastor, her pastor as well).
Barack chimed in as well, "When the first snippets came out, I thought it was important to give him the benefit of the doubt because if I had wanted to be politically expedient I would have distanced myself and denounced him right away, right?"
Right Obama, you could have easily distanced yourself from Wright's comments but you chose not to. That's because you didn't immediately recognize the furor they would have created. And that's because you are used to hearing these things - you have heard them your entire life. You have heard the old folks say these ridiculous things. You have heard your mentors say these things. You have heard your friends say these things. You have heard your spouse say these things. You believe at least a piece of them because you are a racist who was raised within the fabric of a racist society, black American society.
Now just who exactkly is getting tired? I'm not tired of hearing these things. Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Obama are tired of hearing them. They better get untired because they have not yet begun to hear them. This is just getting started. Mr. Obama, do you really believe you can just make this go away? Your opposition isn't tired. We've been resting. We're not even slightly drowsy. This is the dawn of what will come, not the late evening. Let the party begin!
