I think that it does sound a bit racist, but so do some of the comments back at the 1:50 point, up until about 2:10.  : deliver us from the exploitation of the poor or the least of these and from favoritism toward the rich, the elite of these.  We thank you for the empowering of thy servant, the 44th President to inspire our nation..."

It was as racist and politically incorrect as the media would allow. And the media did a fine job of making obama shine and getting him elected!!IMHO

I received an email early Wednesday morning- shortly after the posts by the " offended whites " began aappearing    a friend - who is quite familiar with Big Bill Broonzy -

"Good grief! Is anyone on the Rotterdam Board unaware that those are song lyrics, and that the point being made is that they are no longer valid (or at least are losing their validity?)  Man, cultural isolationism is an ugly thing!l "

anyone remember the guy/gal stuck in the hole?......Mr.Obama and ANYOTHER politico needs no defending,,,they own what they say in my eyes....
say it once and never explain it again......Is he the golden child, the new jesus, moses.....nah,,,,just some guy in the white house like the rest of them
Our system says it all......we are like the locusts and fickle as ever......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
