Another Obama Tape Surfaces
Jeremiah Wright introduces candidate 18 days after Hampton University speech.
(Page 5 of 5)
And yes, for a time at least — until he really got angry with Obama — Jeremiah Wright was willing to submit to the Obama campaign machinations that tried to silence him. Wright went along with having Otis Moss substitute for him at the Obama presidential announcement. Wright sat quietly in the audience at Obama’s Hampton University appearance. Wright dutifully and politely made the video for the UCC General Synod. The latter two instances, of course, were but the latest examples where Jeremiah Wright had lent his prestige to Obama, something he had done repeatedly in the politics of Chicago and Illinois.
But Jeremiah Wright’s patience was growing thin. As videos of his sermons were eventually discovered and played on television screens, he found his great friend and pupil of 22 years walking away from him. There was, according to Jeremiah Wright himself to Ed Klein in The Amateur, an offer through an intermediary of $150,000 if Wright would simply be quiet until after the 2008 elections. Wright refused.
Finally, in April of 2008, the Obama-Wright relationship exploded, as seen here. An angry Obama went to the press to personally denounce his old friend, calling Wright “divisive and destructive” and “not the person that I met 20 years ago.”
In light of the uncovering of the Hampton University video of Obama by Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller, its appearance on the Drudge Report and its televising by Sean Hannity, and in light of Obama’s incredibly poor performance when confronted directly in debate by a polite, persistent, and knowledgeable Mitt Romney — the obvious question arises.
Is Barack Obama really the person his buddies in the liberal media have been trying to sell to Americans for the last eight years since Obama burst onto the national scene with his 2004 speech at the Democratic Convention?
Is the whole Obama-era a confected sham that boils down to a nice looking guy with teleprompter skills and far left politics, shielded and protected by the media?
And only now being outed — by the odd combination of an old video tape and Mitt Romney?
Is that why the furious functionaries of the Obama campaign are now lashing out at Romney, who in fact had nothing to do with the videotape if everything to do with the outcome of the debate?
What was that line again from The Wizard of Oz? Oh yes.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Exactly.

None of this is a surprise as most of it was known in 2008. Those of us paying attention and doing what the media wouldn't (e.g., actually vetting the canidates) knew about this. The more you know about Obama, the more you realize he really isn't a "nice guy" and just over his head as President. Obama is not a nice person, and it's even worse since he's not qualified to serve as President. And the country is paying the price.

There are so many issues of substance to attack Obama on. Why do we keep wasting our time on this kind of stuff? Hit him hard with his rotten record of failure in office and leave the Reverend Wright and the gang back buried where they belong.
Minuteman78| 10.5.12 @ 9:27AM
It's not a waste of time. This is not trivial. This is further exposing the true character of this fraud. Character matters as much as actions and deeds. Maybe more so. The American public is being grossly lied to and deserves better. (I would concede that Mr. Lord might reach more people if he could be a little less long-winded as the average American's attention span isn't 5 pages, but that's my only criticism here.)

The other "Tape":
On February 24, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, before a black audience, formally “anointed” the “Messiah”:
"You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything about. That's a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking."
But who is Louis Farrakhan, the “messenger” heralding America’s “Messiah”? And what latent symbiosis exists between him and person who may become our next president? His words may reveal the answer:

When will you people learn? Racism turns people off and anything about Rev Wright embodies the attempt to scare whites into voting against the President.
It didn't work in 2008 when we didn't know him well, and it won't work now when we do.
Nevertheless, even though the Joker debated the President the other night, we aren't voting for the smirky, permanent smile, staring Joker for President. Romney will lose, I trust his mouth will do him in again.
What you forget is that the world of communications is VERY different than in 1980. The slightest gaffe from RomBot will cancel any glory he feels after the debate. 27 lies he told.
But I realize y'all here would vote for a spider instead of the President. But that's not true for most Americans.

The "Joker"? I thought you meant Obama. After all, he was the one with the condescending smirk on his face as Mitt was tearing him a new one over his failed policies.

During the past couple of weeks, Burp has REPEATEDLY blamed the late Ambassador Stevens for his own death, the death of 3 other Americans, and the attack on the Libyan consulate. He STUPIDLY believes that an ambassador has more power than the president.
Burp will say ANYTHING to help the Appeaser-in-Chief cover-up his incompetence.

Lowest labor participation rate since 1981. Lowest participation rate for men since 1948.
Bang up job. Shift a few numbers around ignore college graduates, and the newly entitled (God I hate that word) illegal immigrant work visas, take out more people in the workforce and tuh-duh. A rabbit comes out of the hat.
Trinacria| 10.5.12 @ 6:45PM
Ah, yes; the soft racism of lowered expectations.
C'mon, Purp, what you hail as an accomplishment took 43 months to achieve - 43 months and an additional $6 trillion in debt just to crawl back to the abysmal state the job market was in when the affirmative action president took over. And the fact of the matter is that the reductions have been driven largely by historical reductions in the labor market participation rate. When you drive the economy so far into the ground that folks lose hope and simply stop looking for work, that's hardly success. To laud it as such is the equivalent of grading on the curve and lowering the bar - which is just about the most pernicious form of racism that exists.
Riff Raff| 10.5.12 @ 11:17AM
Whether Purp thinks Romney will "lose" or not is of no importance. Intelligent people refrain from making rash predictions, but unintelligent people think their wild predictions will influence others to follow along. This is self-delusion, Purp's #1 personal malady. The incontestable fact that remains is that his hero President Bozo is incompetent and unintelligent. His performance not just Wednesday evening, but throughout his entire adult life, prove this conclusively. When on teleprompter, Bozo reads other people's words and acts the part of "leader." Absent his crutch he is revealed to be, not to put too fine a point on it, a dumb-ass.
I do not predict that Romney will defeat this cretinous idiot in the White House come November. I merely hope that he will and I will vote accordingly.
Anthony| 10.5.12 @ 11:43AM
"One night of not himself". Tell us Purp, you claim to actually have a job and a business, yet all the times you post here, you spout Obozoisms right from Axelrod's mouth, and juvenile ones at that.
Do you have an origional thought in that pea brain of yours? And if indeed that wasn't the real Romney, it sure as hell was the real Obozo; an empty suit laid bare without a teleprompter and an origional thought in his Columbia/ Harvard educated head.
Only the true trolls are still believing in the Invisible Man. You and vtwin, except vtwin can't get any gas for his tricycycle in California.
Oh tooooo bad.
Trinacria| 10.5.12 @ 7:09PM
"One night of not himself".
What Purp surely knows in his heart is that what we witnessed Wednesday night was one night of Obama EXACTLY as himself. One night without the security of a teleprompter with vacuous platitudes scrolling before him; one night without the preselected audiences full of adoring mopes who cheer and swoon and shout affirmations and amens with all the fervor of a congregation that has been filled with the spirit; one night without the cloak of infallibility that protects him from being challenged; one night without the unfounded presumption of competence and skill. Most importantly, it was the one night that haunts the dreams of all who advance not by merit, but by affirmative action, for they all know that the day will come when they will be forced to actually perform the job for which they are utterly unqualified. And they know that on that day the world will know the truth and see them as they truly are.
That day came on Wednesday night for Barack Hussein Obama. And now the world knows EXACTLY who he is.
Controse| 10.5.12 @ 12:50PM
Back in the sixties it was all the rage to get a mantra to chant over and over again so as to raise ones celestial consciousness (what ever that was.) Purp keep chanting that mantra "Romney will LOSE." Chant it over and over. It will keep you from thinking which it is evident you find disagreeable.
Butch| 10.5.12 @ 2:11PM
That WAS himself Wednesday night. No teleprompter, no crowd of sign-waving, cheering college airheads, just him and his intellect, otherwise unarmed. He got destroyed.
Riff Raff| 10.5.12 @ 5:37PM
In 1981, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys in their regular season game, 45-14. The Cowboys claimed afterward that "the REAL Dallas Cowboys didn't show up." President Bozo's sycophants seem to be singing that same tune about Wednesday evening. (The 49ers beat the Cowboys again in the NFC Championship Game.) They need to face facts: Their "hero" is a boob.

While there may be a few souls on these pages who engage in such rhetoric, the vast majority do not. I do not, yet your accusational paint brush covers me specifically. You are not a "saner voice" and it is questionable that you are sane at all. Your posts are rife with false accusations.

TLP| 10.6.12 @ 5:28PM
And, it didn't go up that Whopping 35 Points, until the very end of the day.
Give it up, Dumb@ss.

But, that's impossible.

1/2009: 17.7 Million involuntarily out of work.
9/2012: 19.4 Million involuntarily out of work.
So you can take your phony doctored percentage and shove it. Everyone in America knows more people are out of work now than 4 years ago.
Riff Raff| 10.5.12 @ 9:45AM
If the OBozo administration is true to form, we will see another "correction" after the election, and unemployment will still be above 8%. Purp is a dim bulb indeed.
delahaya| 10.5.12 @ 9:48AM
Do you remember when Bush Sr. was running? We were all "one paycheck away from the streets"? The economy was much better then than it is now but there was a really bad GDP report just before the election (which was still better than current). Only after the election did the bureaucrats revise it upward - by over a point! Just amazing chicanery. Oh, anyone notice how the whole "homeless" issue just disappears when a Democrat is in office? We have the worst economy in generations, surely the homeless are still around, right?
Purp| 10.5.12 @ 10:08AM
It's because Bush inherited a good economy from Reagan and destroyed it.
Obama inherited a disastrous economy and has improved and nearly recovered all jobs for America.
RomBot can't compete with good news... he's done. He can wipe the permanent smile off his face now. Was that painted on?
Riff Raff| 10.5.12 @ 10:55AM
The notion that OBozo has "improved" the economy is pure fantasy. Repeating it endlessly does not change that.
Oldefarte| 10.6.12 @ 1:18PM
BS! Lying BS! Un-Stimulus was a gift to the unions; Welfarecare was a gift to the welfare indigents; Keystone's destruction was a gift to OPEC; Immigration ignorance was a gift to Muslim terrorists and to Democrats [same thing]. This economy is half or less than what it should be. Businesses are not hiring/expanding due to the tax and regulation threats. Quit telling BS!!!!!!!!!!
TLP| 10.6.12 @ 5:33PM
And, Reagan inherited a Worse Economy than Your Boy did, and turned it into - How did you put it? - "A Good Economy".
Double Didget EVERYTHING.
Unemployment.
Interest Rates.
Inflation.
And, after 4 Years, he had this Economy ROARING, without adding $6,000,000,000,000 to the National Debt.

We have expanding shanty town where I live. I never ever ever thought I would see shanty towns and tent cities here. We had maybe one or two drifters panhandling at a parking lot once in a while while the evyil Bush was president but now they're everywhere. This use to be an aviation town. Many factories and the related support shops all shut down when customers cancelled orders when "you can't just jet off to Vegas," and the demonization of "corporate jet owners."
People like Purp are just blind. There is always an excuse or someone else to blame or some other boogeyman. And when that all fails it's RACISM.
Purp| 10.5.12 @ 10:11AM
Sorry Sunshine - 7.8% .... you can't complain for years that it's over 8% and now that you don't like the number, you just say "shove it" ....
YOU focused on the numbers, you wanted to ride them to election, now go down with number that is going to bury RomBot once and for all!
Oldefarte| 10.6.12 @ 1:19PM
It's not 7-8%, but 20%!!!!!
Alej| 10.5.12 @ 11:04AM
310 million estimated US population. Say 40% of working age = 124 Million.
124 million - 19.4 million = 104.6 million with jobs.
16 % unemployed, probably worse than in Scrooge's day.
Ponder that, obama's butt-boy.
Von Mises Jr| 10.5.12 @ 10:16AM
Private sector jobs (+104K) and government jobs (+10K) equals 114K Caliban. Extremely weak and should have pushed U3 up, not down.
The alleged 873K is supposedly part-time jobs added and is a mythical trick to get the real 11% U3 rate to look like it is under 8%. They magically found in a survey that previously uncounted people had gotten jobs that they did not count.
So we have gone from not counting 2.5M people who are out of work but not counted for various reasons, to finding almost 900K jobs we didn’t know about. You are either a propagandist, the dumbest MF I ever heard, or both.
The alleged people returning to work are supposed to be part-time perhaps like your troll job or hamburger flipper.
Purp| 10.5.12 @ 10:44AM
U3, U6, blah, blah, blah ... the economy is improving, stronger than thought and you can't put a damper on America's bright future.
The professionals as the BLS aren't playing politics - if so, they could have done that for a long time, Chuckles.
Sorry Sunshine - 7.8% .... you can't complain for years that it's over 8% and now that you don't like the number, you just say "shove it" ....

I'll be so glad to get this election over with so I never have to look at the Joker with his plastic smile and lyin' eyes ever again! And he take VoucherBoy down with him.
The Adults will be re-elected and you're head will explode.
Albert Constantine Jr.| 10.5.12 @ 10:53AM
Purp, describing yourself and those whom you support as adults, in light of your antics and positions, is like Lee Harvey Oswald calling himself a Kennedy supporter because he registered as a Democrat.
John II| 10.5.12 @ 1:21PM
Or, to get back on topic and cut to the chase all at once, it's more like the political huckster Jeremiah Wright calling himself a man of God.
And now back to "Brats" (1930), among the very best of Laurel and Hardy's two-reelers, in which Stan anticipates Purp & Co. with an insightful anti-adage: "You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead."

Stan Redmond| 10.5.12 @ 4:21PM
If you read the questions they actually ask "Did you perform unpaid work for a family member"
That is actually counted as being employed. Unfrickin believable.
Oldefarte| 10.5.12 @ 2:28PM
No DA, the actual/true unemployment rate is closer to 20%, and your "highest" is not doubt that in 30 DAYS, not "years"; so get your GD facts straight and go collet your paycheck for blogging here of $37.50. Don't try abnd sell your snake oil Chicago BS here since no one is buying same. The economy is in the excrement that is contained within the toilet of this country, and same is why the Federal Reserve has ramped up its QEIII of buying federal paper in order to attempt """"""stupidly""""" to accompolish for ya boy what his lack of fiscal policies have failed to do for this economy; and they're all going down in November......the POTUS, Fed Chairman, DOJ Chief Crook, Corrupt Interior Secretary, Lying HHS Director, etc!!!!!!!!!

None of this is a great surprise. These street corner agitators are always around and further their own ambition on the backs of those they pretend to want to help. Whether he actually believes any of this or only in his own grandeur is beside the point. We knew it was a rattlesnake when we picked it up.
delahaya| 10.5.12 @ 9:45AM
Obama's narcissism and messiah complex bit him. The bubble he's been in where no one contradicts him or challenges him left him uprepared for the debates. He is actually not that smart, on top of being leftist, and without his teleprompter is lost. Add this tape, Univisions' Fast and Furious exposes, and some donor expose about to hit and he has a lot on his mediocre mind - and none of it has to do with this country - its all about him as usual.
Who Knows?| 10.5.12 @ 11:00AM
What’s new, pussycat?
“And all of these street wars of religion against religion, dull idea against dull idea, are nothing but the muscle of stupidity, sheeplike ego clashes (socking macho hornheads as if competing for a rut), the separate junk piles of the past all hurled at one another for the angry sake of power, whizzing between minds that are mucked in self, hardened by fear, defined by the resident passions of birth, and utterly oblivious to the Truth and the Wide Wise significance of our bleeding worried lives.”
“Nirvanasara” by Da Free John, 1982, page 150
Yes, and don’t think this cutting sentence only applies to religion---as the political “street wars” approach a climax in a month, with opened eyes and mind, one can only marvel at the carnage unconsciousness lawfully brings.
It is stunning how hide-and-seek, played by chronological adults, finds new ways to play itself out. See, hear and speak no evil!
There is NO ONE who can handle the Truth!
So, when it comes to the CW truth about Wright-Obama, why be surprised that most people aren’t willing to spend time and attention on this animating aspect of the president’s history?
Write off Wright, that’s the Right Stuff!
Think of this whole deal as fodder for future humans to read about. How could the Germans have been so gullible as to be conned by Hitler?

I always enjoy Mr. Lord's articles!!!
I guess my big question is regardless if Obama is cooking the employment numbers now for election purposes - why is NO ONE looking into the looming effects of sequesteration on the employment picture??? Particularly the defense contractors. Lockhead Marting got a little press this week saying they would cave to the Obama administration and not send out 130,000 layoff notices (mandaditated by law) until after the election. Boeing, Raytheon and others had said the same thing because of the backroom pressure being placed on these public companies by the administration. There are anywhere from 500,000 to 1,000,000 pink slips set to be mailed. They are in Virginia, Ohio, Colorado and other states not so boarder ground in nature. What will these numbers do to the unemployment picture, the housing market, small business in these factories and business areas. they can kick this can down the road a bit - but Obama hates the defense industry, does ANYONE really think he is not going to let these jobs go by the waistside when he does not have an election to worry about??? Romney stated that he supports a strong defense. Has ANYONE heard this from Obama??? There should be articles EVERYDAY regarding these looming terminations. Think before you vote - Obama has distroyed the Coal industry, he is distroying the Oil industry, he is heading now to the defense industry!!!
WhiteBikerTrash| 10.5.12 @ 4:38PM
For Purp:
Do you hate being lied to? Even if the lie is something you really want to hear?
Our Government just reported that Unemployment has dropped to 7.8% I really want to hear that! The report states that payroll has increased 114,000 jobs but that 873,000 people have gone back to work? Do you see the problem yet? 7.66 people went back to work for every job that opened up?
Okay, Okay, Okay I found an answer three quarters of a million people lost their temporary jobs last month but are not yet counted as unemployed those jobs and the 114,000 new jobs were filled by the 872,000 people who found work.
If you take the hard numbers without the lies U-6 is at 18.7% and U-3 is at 12.9% But Weeeeeee!!!!! We have 7.8% unemployment!!!!!! Weeeeeee!!!!!!!! wait until after the election, If Romney wins they will claim the huge jump up is Romney's fault (Unless George W. Bush can be blamed)
PeterHal| 10.6.12 @ 4:06PM
The article is a bit disappointing. During the first two pages I got the impression that Jeffrey Lord had news to bring on that videotape at the UCC Synod. Than alas nothing came and the story fell flat on its face.
woodsman1st| 10.7.12 @ 11:22AM
The true story of our president (lower case intentional) is turning out to be as devious and cunning as the Manchurian Candidate.
We, the Voters of America still do not know who our president is; all we are seeing is what is intended we should see, the frosting on the cake; however, little by little the frosting is wearing thin and the real Obama is beginning to show beneath the frosting; and what little we can see thus far looks to be ugly and dangerous for America. Obama is a story of deceit, lies, and cunning; all of it designed to hide the real Obama; the terrible threat to America that is the real Obama.
We need more people to come forth and tell America about the Obama that he has spent millions to hide from Americans; the Obama that is a threat to America's very existance.
