Watch video from The Daily Caller (actually from YouTube; DC wouldn’t load):
In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.
“The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”
The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.
Barack Hussein Obama embraces the “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright, and provides Wright with many kudos. Here is the real “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright:
There’s nothing that accuses and convicts better than words captured on audio and video. Nothing reveals PANDERING like TRUTH reveals pandering. And in consideration of this: Barack Hussein Obama isn’t really “black.”
As Joe Biden said: “articulate and bright and clean.” For a “black” man.
On the other hand, this isn’t truly anything more than any rational person realizes is immured in the wrinkled cortex of Mr Obama’s confused and contorted brain.
Oh my, Mr Obama.
The fecal material has now splattered upon the spinning blades. Thanks to you.

So, let me get this straight:
“We are going to be gifted with a health care plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s broke.”

Great. Even then, he couldn’t speak without a script.
Nice to know some things don’t change.
