His speech was strange sounding, not like the suave, sophisticated enunciation and educated “perfection” for which he is “known.”
His speech sounded ethnically modified, using certain identifiable expressions and modulations. It sounded almost like something out of a ghetto.
One might wonder whether the fact that he was speaking to a predominantly black audience would have anything to do with his sudden speech pattern.
In his speech he departed from his prepared remarks to talk about the Stafford Act, an act that requires communities that receive government relief from disasters to ante up 10% as much as is contributed by the feds.
The Senator expressed disdain that the Stafford Act had been waved in Florida after hurricane Andrew and in New York after 9/11, but not in New Orleans, because it was so predominantly black in population.
His words: “But the people in New Orleans — predominantly black — “they don’t care about as much,”
Turns out that on May 24th, less than two weeks before his June 5th speech, Senator Obama had been in the Senate voting as part of an 80-14 vote to waive the 10% requirement for New Orleans. He voted in favor of the bill.
Subsequently, more money was used to help rebuild New Orleans than in Florida and New York combined!
I wonder whether he actually knew that before his Hampton University speech?
If not, how can he be considered to be the smartest man to ever occupy the White House? After all, he, himself, took part in the vote to wave the requirement for New Orleans.
Since the Senate keeps records of such things, we know he was present and we know how he voted.
Is it possible that at Hampton University Obama actually knew he was not telling the truth?
By the way, if you’d like to read a transcript of that speech, it is available HERE. And the Congressional Record of Senator Obama's vote can be found HERE.
You might think to yourself, “Well! This is old news.
It might be, but it tells us a lot about the character and believability of the man who currently occupies the position of trust and power called the presidency.
On the other hand, if you’re a liberal, you will no doubt count this as not important.
Some people are blind because they refuse to see.

I guess Harry Reid was right. Obama is a "light-skinned" African-American who lacks a "Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
LR: Isn't that called situational linguistics?
It's called talking down to your audience. And Obama does it no matter who is audience is.
The clause in question was a rider to an Iraqi fiasco funding bill.
The measure was sure to pass as even elementary vote counting would have revealed and Obama didn't want to be on record voting to fund the war.
The override was absolutely secondary.
This lesson is brought to you by the political left, stay tuned.
Wait! What?
Are you saying that a politician running for office tailored the delivery of their message in such a way that it would be more acceptable to the targeted audience?
Why would they do such a thing??? That is so incomprehensible! How does that make any sense?
That would be so much worse than a sitting President hitching a ride aboard a warplane that he never flew and riding as a passive passenger on a carrier-deck landing that he could NEVER make, and using an American Aircraft Carrier as a sound stage to declare "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" when, in fact, the mission had not been accomplished at all.
The October surprise may not be as Obama planned. As we all now know the whole Libya film story was fabricated by this lying and treasonous President and his Lap Dogs Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice. They, used the “so called” anti-Muslim film for their own good so that they would be able to Cover Up the real reasons. Including refusing to supply more security for the Embassy and the Ambassador and his staff who were murdered. Maybe this October Surprise will be the nail in Obama's re-election coffin.
Get the popcorn ready folks, the next debate should be a dandy.
Even Big Bird has a stake in it.
One has to wonder if he (Obama) is securing more security for Big Bird!
Mitt Romney needs to jump all over this, and not let the Media sweep it under the rung with the rest of Obama’s and Hillary’s LIES! . Let the Messiah talk about Big Bird, maybe that’s all he has left and that’s all he is capable of discussing. Because he can’t lie his way out of this one any longer. The trouble with lying is that you have to keep telling more lies to try to protect the original lie that was told in the first place
XO: "Are you saying that a politician running for office tailored the delivery of their message in such a way that it would be more acceptable to the targeted audience?"
By imitating a steriotypical dialect at a group of people who are hyper-sinsitive about it to begin with?
Make me a list of presidents and presidential candidates who have done that in the last, oh, 236 years.
Tonight we will see Paul Ryan put Joe Biden to shame. ,Biden'is a total idiot and has no business even being in that position. He is only a heartbeat away from being the 2nd worst president that America has ever had, Second to only his Boss. The two of them. are OBAMINATION'S.
In response to the hearings held yesterday, the results are as we all figured.
The Islamic scum killed our Ambassador and the current administration must be held responsible for it. They both have blood on their hands and are still lying about this. And America has been and continues to be lied to by these people who have taken over our country. And these filthy islamofascist terrorist pigs. have gotten away with another slaughter of Americans The leftist’s, the Independent’s, and the undecided can now easily make up their minds. After yesterdays hearing, there shouldn’t be any doubt in anyone’s mind that this bunch of filthy lairs are in over their hears and can not even get their lying Cover-Up story together. They themselves state that they had evidence that the State Dept. knew of the threat and still they did nothing. The disgusting Democrats have made a political game over the death of 4 Americans to protect their dishonorable president and Madam Sec. of State while honorable people have died because of them. Madam Sec. of State should either step down or be thrown out of offic ehe is in way over her head, just like her boss is. How can they look the American public in the face after what they did! And they still call Nixon names for what he did. What he did was small potatoes compared to being responsible for the murder of 4 loyal Americans who died for their country.
And these are the people who making American policies, and want us to vote for them? Are they kidding. And where was Hillary during those hearings? Why did she send her assistant there instead of her being there? Does she know something we don't know, and was afraid that she would be forced to tell the truth ?
Hillary and her Boss must go.
