This isn't the full video. It was clips and then Tucker Carlson and the other dude started expressing their opinions about it. I didn't see anything wrong with the edited clips of the video that they showed. Much ado about nothing if you ask me. The words he said was already a well known opinion that blacks had about Hurricane Katrina anyways. This was Obama caring about the 47% on video. Big damn deal.

This was Obama calling the Bush administration racist. Damn big deal.

Typical Obama, class and race warfare.

A big thrust was the injustice to the New Orleans residences.

 

A 2008 video on monies that went to the Bridge to nowhere and a bridge for New Orleans....

 

Go to 3 minute mark

 

Are you a politician?

 

I'm the president for my local union. Steelworkers 1016T. Does that count?

This was Obama calling the Bush administration racist. Damn big deal.

 

If the shoe fits.....:lol:

 

A little pandering can go a long way when done properly.

I don't get the issue with how the POTUS "talks" to a black audience. Many of us, (me included) talk differently around different people. I talk to some friends differently than others. Why is this news? Blacks often talk "black" around each other. So what? Do we not think the President talks black (or "jive" for some of you older cats) around his black friends? Come on.

 

Debate his accusation about the 9th Ward all day along. Legit debate. How he talks is just silly to even mention.

It explains a lot. :lol:

 

Just kidding, PP92.

I still didn't notice any difference in how he talked. He didn't use slang or anything. He sounded like ummm the same old Barack Obama to me.

I had to ask. Some consider it politics. I swear it feels like politics sometimes.

Not bad at all, IMO. I talk more proper when in front of certain people and regualr when around my friends.

More proper ?

This was Obama calling the Bush administration racist. Damn big deal.

And ?............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... The Bush administration wasn't racist just shortsighted

Clarify, if you would. Are you telling me you talk with a Southern draw when talking to a friend from the South? A New York accent when talking to a friend from there?

 

As for Obama or any politician that does it, it comes off as phony.

Don't tell me, tell Obama. He made the accusation.

I heard his cadence change.

My wife is from Pittsburgh which, for those who have spent time there, has their own sound and vocabulary. When she's there for a few days she slips into a bit of the local dialect.

 

Your example is quite extreme.
