****Must See Video: Obama Circa 2004 Connecting Economics, Bitterness, Guns, & Religion****
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 06:10 PM by malik flavors

Start watching at the 11:00 minute mark. Charlie brings up the book "What's Wrong With Kansas," and Obama basically says exactly what he said in San Fran last Sunday except he says it in a clear and understandable way.

This video could honestly free him of any guiltiness.

I would recommend digging this, or sending it to people, or doing whatever you think could spread it around.

Also, if anybody has the skills to edit this video to just where he's talking about bitterness that would be really helpful. That way when you spread it around people can just see the important portion.

2. The connection seems to be there
However, The video is so badly out of sync you are going to have more people on digg or whatever talking about the sync issue (Happens when you upload badly made video files) rather than the issue.

I hope he uploads a cleaned up and cropped version.

4. The sync is fine for me, but if you go on you tube, it's uploaded a few different times.
maybe a different upload will work better for you.

15. I think it's only if you fast forward on it that it gets screwy.

12. It was posted on a blog. The Obama camp should make a commercial out of this.
It completely clears him of any bigotry.

8. he said the exact same thing then as he is now. where was the media outrage then heres whats going.
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 06:29 PM by bigdarryl
on. Obama doesn't represent the Washington and Corporate elite so to get him out of the way they have to come up with these small sound bites from his speeches and make a big deal negatively out of them. Your not going to tell me that CNN MSNBC OR FOX NEWS DO not have this video of him saying the EXACT same thing but the plan is to sink his campaign to either get Slime girl Hillary or McSame in the White House. Isn't it interesting that you have FOX NEWS who's no friends of progressives praising Hillary now.

9. He states exactly how he sees guns/hunting and church as a way for people
to cope. That is great.

22. I took him to mean people go on with their lives in a way that is
comfortable to them. Mostly I am commenting to try to move this thread up the list because the segment starting at the 11th minute is totally revealing in a way the clip from San Francisco is not.

11. What is religion for
but to cling to in hard times? That's what people do when times are ropugh. They cling to the things that bring them confor and security, and for most Americans the main thing that brings confort and security is their religion.

I'm not putting that down. It's just a fact. Church attendance grows during hard times.
