Well folks, it seems like we dodged a bullet today. Make no mistake: this video has surely put the more racist states like North Carolina, Virginia and Ohio firmly in Romney's column, but I don't think it's damaging enough to completely erase Obama's lead in Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa and Nevada. We can still pull off a narrow victory. Forward.

C'mon Lief. Like you I tend to have a pessimistic bias when it comes to elections, but this is pure nonsense.

The very fact that he is president makes blacks equal to whites in this country.  It is an affirmation of the American dream.  There is no unbalancing, no place that a black man or woman can't reach.  Overt insitutional racism ceased to exist the moment he became president.

Is... is this a joke?

There is some logic to that, but not a lot.

You can no longer argue that the country is racist as a whole.  That does not mean that it is free of racism, or institutions that have a racist element.

Obama is not the first politician to take on an accent while speaking, it's part of politics. In his case, it probably was just him slipping into urban vernacular because of the environment he was in, black people do that sometimes. I've done it before, it's just a natural change in tone that occurs sometimes.
Of course its part of politics, but his image, part of what allowed him to win in 2008, was to not be a typical politician, not to play those games.  Also, it's one thing to be in a bar with a group of friends 2 feet away from you, and another thing to deliver a prepared speech.  You can tell that he is trying hard to fake the accent with the way he strains - its the same look someone makes when trying to fake a British or Australian accent without the proper training.

This will be drowned out by the debate coverage anyway. They probably should have waited until Friday/Saturday with the release. Now, nobody will notice anything ... Wink

These videos aren't going to make much of an impact.  Most people have made up there minds on who they will vote.  This only solidifies the bases.

It's actually often an unconscious thing that people do.

Apparently when I'm more 'trashy' parts, my accent is a little-less polished. I certainly don't deliberately do it, lol.
Yeah, I semi-consciously slip into what's best described as dialect-with-a-standard-German-accent when I talk to dialect speakers.

No, no, no... they have better. Much better. It's just that they're... uh... waiting... for a better time to release it.

We should have known that the Republican plan all along was to let Obama win, then destroy his chances for a second term with a poorly edited from video from 1988 or something.

Gore proved that you drop the bombshell shortly before the election. The Bin Laden tape in 2004 reinforced this.

Politico is like person who's been dumped, but expects their ex to walk through the door- despite them shagging your best friend and having moved to a different city...

If the Whitey tape exists, it was bought by somebody over four years ago.

I don't understand, though. Why would they hold it until Obama's already served a full term in office, bringing socialism and destruction in his wake? Huh

MSM seems to be largely ignoring this except for Fox News.
