Preaching at people is not going to make them like you more or less, at least I hope not.
That is one advantage of having both races I guess. You know how to pander to both the white and black population. I just wonder who is going to be the loser, him or the American people.Does Obama pander to Black people and not get criticized for it?
he just doesnt like white people

Does Obama pander to Black people and not get criticized for it?His style is consistent. I have heard him speak to many audiences. There is a difference in how you speak when you are answering a question in a debate from when you are giving a pep talk to your supporters.Reminds me of Hillary's fake southern accent that was in the news about a year ago. Remember her instant southern drawl when she was visiting that black church? I think she even fit in a Y'all.Does Obama pander to Black people and not get criticized for it?I am still trying to understand how someone who is Black can pander and its not being empathetic with ones own race, but when a white does it they call it Supremacy! I still am trying to understand how one can be black and white but CHOOSE to see or put forth only the blackness of their skin and not the whiteness, I am still trying to understand why when someone who is black makes a racist statement its called PRIDE but when I or anyone white does it its called Bigotry, IF anyone knows I would love to know!!!Does Obama pander to Black people and not get criticized for it?
Oh definitely, when he gives speeches using the cadence of a black preacher it makes me sick. Great question, lets hope it doesn't get deleted, because they will say your racist or you just plain hate him lol.
Oh yes - his preacher - Jeremiah Wright, Jr. (black separatist) taught him well. Obama can change into whatever he wants to be - depending on the audience. If it's black - he can play black ........... if it's white - he can play white... So who is he really - this quick change artist ? Do we really know the real Obama, or is it just a pre-planned grooming that took place months before his candidacy by those pulling the strings behind the scenes ? I smell a Rat.Does Obama pander to Black people and not get criticized for it?
Yes he does. He and his wife were the first to bring race into the campaign....fOprah joined in... and Obama does pander to rally his base. I guess you can't really blame him for working his base.....yet I don't like it when others are criticized for racial overtones....
There are no words to describe the Obama phenomenon, except the words of Obama. Below is link to a powerful video put together by will.i.am of the Black Eye Peas. Forget the countless public figures who participate in the video. Listen to the lyrics and the words of Barak Obama.

By the way, I am black. When I am in my home environment with family and friends or blacks in general, my manner of teaching is drastically different from that in my work environment. There is a saying that most blacks are at least bilingual: Black vernacular and proper english. It is not a conscious thing. Merely an innate sensiblity of surviving. Trust me, I would never get a job speaking as I do at home. And if I spoke the way I do at work, there would be no end to the ridicule.
The audacity of Obama's hypocrisy?
And many thought he didn't take money from lobbyists and oil companies?
"he talks about taking on special interest in Washington, but his campaign is funded by oil companies and lobbyists.
"Follow the money. Obama's presidential campaign has received nearly $5 million dollars from securities and investment firms and $866,000 from commercial banks through October of 2007. Obama's top contributor so far is Goldman Sachs (provider of $369,078 to Obama), identified by Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) investigators as "a major proponent of privatizing Social Security as well as legislation that would essentially deregulate the investment banking/securities industry." Eight of Obama's top twenty election investors are securities and investment firms: Goldman Sachs, Lehman Bros. (number 2 at $229,090), J.P. Morgan Chase and Co. (# 4 at $216,759), Citadel Investment Group (#7 at 4166,608), UBS AG ($146,150), UBS-America ($106,680), Morgan Stanley ($104,421), and Credit Suisse Group ($92,300). The last two firms are also known to be leading privatization advocates (Center for Responsive Politics 2007a).
Meanwhile, Obama's presidential run has been "assisted" by more than $2 million from the health care sector and nearly $400,000 from the insurance industry through October of 2007 (Center for Responsive Politics 2007b). Obama received $708,000 from medical and insurance interests between 2001 and 2006 (Center for Responsive Politics 2007c). His wife Michelle, a fellow Harvard Law graduate, was until a recently a Vice President for Community and External Affairs at the University of Chicago Hospitals, a position that paid her $273, 618 in 2006 (Sweet 2007).
And Obama's sixth largest contributor is Exelon, the proud Chicago-based owner and operator of more nuclear power plants than any entity on earth (Center for Responsive Politics 2007a).
Go figure.
As for his "lobbyist ban," last August the Los Angeles Times reported that Obama "raised more than $1 million in the first three months of his presidential campaign from law firms and companies that have major lobbying operations in the nation's capital." Campaign finance expert Stephen Weissman observed that this raised troubling questions about the practical relevance of Obama's much-ballyhooed pledge to turn down donations from "federal lobbyists."
"Obama's rise to national prominence and presidential viability, Helman discovered, depended significantly on PAC and lobbyist money."
As Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain explained, "some of the most influential [lobbyist] players, lawyers and consultants among them, skirt disclosure requirements by merely advising clients and associates who do actual lobbying, and avoiding regular contact with policymakers. Obama's ban does not cover such individuals."
Thus, to give one example, Obama received $33,000 in the first quarter of 2007 from the Atlanta-based law firm Alston %26amp; Bird, which maintains a large lobbying division in Washington. Obama's $33,000 came bundled from a number of "consultants" employed by the firm.
Also deleted from Obama's "ban" are state lobbyists. Obama took $2000 from two Springfield, Illinois lobbyists for Exelon, which spent $500,000 to influence policy in Washington in 2006 and gave $160,000 directly to Obama (Morain 2007).
An especially big dent in the armor of Obama's effort to sell himself as the noble repudiator of lobbyist, PAC, and special interest money generally was inflicted in early August of 2007. That's when the Boston Globe published a widely circulated article titled "PACs and Lobbyists Aided Obama's Rise: Data Contrast With His Theme." Globe reporter Scott Helman reviewed campaign finance records to find that a "more complicated truth" lurked "behind Obama's campaign rhetoric." Obama's rise to national prominence and presidential viability, Helman discovered, depended significantly on PAC and lobbyist money, including large sums from "defense contractors, law firms and the securities and insurance industries" to his own powerful PAC "Hopefund." Of special interest was Helman's determination that Obama was retaining close and lucrative funding relationships with leading Washington-based lobbyists and lobbying firms while technically avoiding direct contributions from those key campaign finance players"
Why don't you look into the issues instead of how he talks. I know that sometimes I talk in different ways with different people, when I'm in Kentucky visiting relatives I'll start saying "y'all" and not really mean to.
because hes trying to play up to the blacks of coarse.... hes a bum anyway
The Preacher comes out in all of them when speaking to minorities. It is more embarrassing when Hillary tries to lose her stuck up voice.
