Loose "Change"

"A change is comin." So says the Reverend Jeremiah Wright over and over again. During his incendiary but brutally honest "Pastor Ambition Tour," he has proclaimed that "a change is comin'. I can feel it." I say "brutally honest" because despite what you may think of Reverend Wright, he tells you exactly what he thinks, and he means what he says. Sure, he changes his tone based on his audience: to white audiences (Bill Moyers, the National Press Club), he's softer-spoken, and he doesn't drop his "g's." To black audiences, he's a podium-slamming, fist-pounding, neo-segregationist with a penchant for mocking white people. But regardless of how it's delivered, the message is the same: black liberation theology, which demands an "apology" for slavery from the current generation, formal U.S. government prostration, and ultimately, reparations. And that, of course, is just be the beginning. The list of grievances to be redressed is lengthy, with new insults added all the time.

Wright doesn't profess to believe in anything else. In that sense, he's much less a dissembler than either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

This brings us to the Reverend's longtime spiritual and intellectual student. There is Obama, campaigning in Indiana and North Carolina, gymnasiums and podiums festooned with HIS central theme: "Change We Can Believe In."

After hearing Wright define exactly what he means and what he thinks, it is now impossible for Obama to dodge telling us exactly what HE means and what HE thinks. Wright's speeches are now a call for specificity from Barack Obama. The days of allowing Obama to leave himself as an undefined, vague, "Hope, Unity, and Change Guy" must end.

It is now incumbent on Obama to tell us what HE means by "change." Is his use of "change" the same as Wright's? Senator: you sat at his feet, absorbing his teachings like a sponge for 20 years. How does Wright's version of "change" agree with yours? Or differ from yours?

By the way, Senator, what IS your version of "change?"

How can we vote for "Change We Can Believe In" when you won't even tell us what, exactly, we are "believing in?"

Loose change.. i love it!

the change is loose!

I've been using that line on panhandlers recently: Don't ask me for change. I gave mine to the IRS. Ask Obama for change. He the one who promised you change.

I'm not an Obama fan, but saying he absorbed Wright's teachings like a sponge doesn't give him any credit as a thinking person.

Does that he mean he absorbed the teachings at Columbia and Harvard "like a sponge", too?

Fred, you're moving the topic once again. The truly outrageous thing is that Obama does not give the AMERICAN PEOPLE credit as thinking presons.

He keeps telling us that he knew this guy for 20 years and has been a member of the congregation for the same amount of time and yet he NEVER heard the 'reverend' unleash any of his outlandish and racist diatribes.

So either Obama is indeed stupid or he thinks that WE are indeed stupid.

Either way, he IS stupid if he thinks he's going to fool all of the people all of the time.

The big Obama hangover is just starting..

It will be in full effect the evening of Nov. 2 when the map turns red, one state after the other..

Not even Mexicain will be able to help poor Obama. As much as the Stealth Dhimmicrat McCain would like to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory..

Because deep down even McCain seems to think that Obama is above critical investigation.. see his treatment of the 'reverend' Wrong ad in North Carolina and the 'verboten' use of Hussein's middle name.

"Thank you, gringoman. You might be a fool too, but at least you tryin'. (I could say 'trying'. You like that Englofocation from the Teach? That make you happy? Hee-hee.)

"Now look, you white folks cain't unnerstand black. And why can't you? (Hee-hee.) The Reverend Jeremiah Wright just told you, speaking to 10,000 brothers at that NAACP eat-out in Detroit. There is white brains and black brains. (Don't believe me? Check out the Rev on yo' video.) An' guess who got the pale white stuff and who got the rich black stuff?

"Now don't get bookworm on me. Don't tell me 'bout no Hitler dude rappin' like that in My Kamp.
Those Nazi dudes were crackers, maybe just a little more honest than you half-a-redneck crackers an' those white libs and our Jewish "friends" bombin' the po' Palestinians.

"You got it now? You unnerstand what the 'change' is all about? It's about facin' up, actin' up, and stop chompin' on that phoney baloney you love to chomp.

"Obama's spirit father, Reverend Wright, has laid it on you. He talkin' to you. You hear? The "change" is for YOU to see what WE can see. THAT is progress in the race divide.You hear? You ready? You got to hear, not just fear.

"Black brains are here to stay. Got it? Work on it.

"Try usin' yo' white brains. You got some, right? Hee-hee."

He will be very disappointed when he gets into the White House and there is no change.

Yep. The Clintons made off with every last red cent.
