<<< had a thought about one thing Obama could say in response to the idea that he has a vendetta against white people.

He could simply point out that his mother was a white person, and that he loved her very much. That would shut a lot of people up.>>>

How about telling the truth? How about that people are complex. They sometimes feel one way and then other times another way. Sometimes they are mixed up. Sometimes you take advantage of people and than when you outgrow them, you move on.

How about that Obama is only human. That he is no saint, but that he is a smart young man. He's jiving, he's learning and he's growing up.

He is different now than when he was 15 and that when he is 55 he will be different than he is now.

Can we alow him to be human? Or do we have to make up fairy tales about him?

Then challenge anyone to search the recorded history of Obama's public remarks the last 20 years and find anything similar.
