Tears of raw emotion rolled down Charles Carter's cheeks as he sat in his "shotgun shack" in Greenwood, Mississippi, on Tuesday morning, watching Barack Obama give his speech on race in Philadelphia.

Part 1
Nice speech Sen Obama…who wrote it?
People need to focus on Sen Obama’s actions…not his words.
Reason why conservatives & republicans LOVE HIM is because he VOTES on major issues like they do-against the middle class. see vote analysis.

Sen Obama cares about poverty and the middle class? He has sabotaged efforts in Congress to pass bills that support the middles class. Sen Obama has been called a Liberal, Progressive Democrat? Based on what? You decide…

Sen Obama STRONGLY against the Iraq invasion? You decide…

Sen Joe Lieberman (strongly pro-Iraq invasion) was being opposed in the CT Senate race by Ned Lamont- a VERY popular candidate who ran on strong Iraq War opposition platform. Sen Obama flew in to CT to support Lieberman.

Sen Obama talks about certain race issues but omits discussion on a VERY IMPORTANT RACE ISSUE:

Reparations for slavery both in the U.S and in Africa- Last year Sen Obama supported the very controversial 3rd ward Ald. Dorothy Tillman in her runoff against an independent candidate. Tillman is one of the most important and outspoken U.S advocates of reparations for slavery.

What about Sen Obama’s position regarding reparations for slavery from western and ex-colonial European powers for Africa and African nations? During the 2001 UN-sponsored World Conference against Racism, many African nations demanded an apology-plus other things- from ex-colonial European nations for the role they (European nations) had in promoting the slave trade. Why doesn’t Sen Obama ever discuss this very important ‘race’ issue.
