This video has Ann Althouse and Glenn Reynolds sniping at each other.

This video is different from all the Arkansas stuff – much of which had some substance, if not the evidence of criminality the fanatics kept claiming. This year the key demographic is the swing voters and marginal partisans who voted for Obama in 2008 and might wish to have it back now.

We can’t just tell them they are stupid suckers, even though they certainly are, because that sort of talk tends to drive these non-political types to double down on their mistakes rather than confess and repent.

But the video proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Obama was deliberately misleading the public about who he was, what he believed, AND what he thought about Wright, who he had publicly disowned twice within the two months preceding the video, including his touted “Race in America” speech which turned out to be total hooey. Obama never believed a word of it, the video is the evidence.

See how comfortable and natural it is for him to blame Whitey, falsely, for Katrina. He lies like a dog and fosters racial animosity by doing it. He believes in the “quiet riot” theory of Rev. Wright, that the LA riots were a natural result of the white man holding the black man down.

When people understand they were lied to, they can rationalize it wasn’t their fault, and they feel free to get mad at the liar.

Brakabama is a shit sandwich. We needn’t be limited to talking about a single ingredient.

Silver bullet? NO.

One more straw on the camel’s back? YES.

This is good as it was swept under the rug the last time by the ObaMedia and Journolista’s.

So a reiteration is to the good. Even if it’s only seen and impacts independents.

It restates the premise that the hard core has been repeating since 2008; that Obama is a racialist, is a phony and any preachifying by him to the effect that he’s some sort of racial healing machine is bogus. (and no one should’ve bought that in the first place.)

We should beat this like a rented mule till 11-06-2012.

Well said, Stacy. I looked at it, and decided the take away points were:

1. Message to cracker swing voters: Obama said he hates you.
2. The Lame Stream Media remains the Lame Stream Media.
3. The economy still sucks.

I was waiting to hear something new, something explosive. Well, folks, it exists somewhere – but certainly not in this clip.

Sorry, but there IS value in showing the same MSM that’s been telling you for a month this race is already over helped Obama sell a narrative of himself in 2008 that was totally bogus.

Obama’s campaign has NEVER been about his actual policy positions. It’s always and ever been about his amazing NARRATIVE about HIMSELF. How super-special and awesome he is and all.

The Post-Racial Candidate. Above all the fray, the One who can heal the country’s racial divides, etc. etc.

Watch that 40 min video and ask yourself: HOW was the guy who gave THAT speech allowed to magically transform himself into a racial healer/uniter less than a year later?

Of course it was that the media was IN ON THE SCAM and they not only helped cover up Obama’s racially inflammatory rhetoric, they actively suppressed it.

Just something to keep in mind as that SAME MEDIA looks for any and all opportunities to declare the race over – AGAIN – at the next huge Romney gaffe they can find – or invent.

In the video, Obama says: Now here’s the thing. When 9-11 happened in New York City, they waived the Stafford Act — said, ‘This is too serious a problem. We can’t expect New York City to rebuild on its own. Forget that dollar you gotta put in. Well, here’s ten dollars.’ And that was the right thing to do. When Hurricane Andrew struck in Florida, people said, ‘Look at this devastation. We don’t expect you to come up with y’own money, here. Here’s the money to rebuild. We’re not gonna wait for you to scratch it together — because you’re part of the American family.’

“What’s happening down in New Orleans? Where’s your dollar? Where’s your Stafford Act money? Makes no sense! Tells me that somehow, the people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!

Let’s see…hmmm…New York and Florida…which group is known to have a lot of political influence in both?…hmmm…could it be a certain group of people who we often refer to as ‘The Chosen People’?

Hmmm….

Good points, I see this as way over hyped given that this choir already knows, and most people who haven’t been convinced already won’t even grasp what this actually says about Comrade president.
On the upside it is gratifying to know that actual silver bullets will still be required to perform their traditional role in our political system.

One of the main points of this video does deal, as you say, with his pre-presidency self, but it still ought to garner some interest, since it specifically shows O to have been an explicit liar during his presidential campaign. I refer to Rev Wright, obviously.

Even more fun, though: I think that, when O gives his call-out to Rev Wright, it makes it very clear how dishonest those skanky Journolistas really were as they ran the stealth campaign for O.

In my neck of the woods Mittens isn’t loved, but, overwhelmingly, conservatives know OMG. Mittens track may lead in the same directions as Zer0′s, but there is no viable track in the other direction, the direction we desperately need one to go. At least Mittens will back off on the throttle.
