Well, what we can glean from this is an understanding of why we are all on the road that we are on and it's based on what went into his thinking, being surrounded by radicals. [Obama] is bringing us back Sean to days that... you can harken back to days before the Civil War, when unfortunately too many Americans mistakenly believed that not all men were created equal. And it was the Civil War that began the codification of the truth here in America... yes, we are equal and we all have equal opportunities, not based on the color of your skin.
You have equal opportunities to work hard and to succeed and to embrace the opportunities, god given opportunities to develop resources and work extremely hard and as I say, to succeed.
Now, it has taken all these years for many Americans to understand that that gravity, that mistake, took place before the Civil War and why the Civil War had to really start changing America. What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin.
Why are we allowing our country to move backwards instead of moving forward with that understanding that as our charters of liberty spell out for us, we are all created equally.

Say what you will about Obama, but I sincerely doubt that he, as a black man, would want to go back to the days before the Civil War.
Are you still talking, Sarah?
Nobody gives a damn anymore. Go play pretend politician on your own time and stop blowing hot air about subjects you don't know anything about.
If Sarah Palin really believes that a black president wants to segregate society based on race, then she is even stupider than I previously thought.
Also, this will probably come up later, but there are no radicals in the US. I wish there were, because radical politicians would reform society to bring it in line with the Canadian and Western European standard. The moment that being a radical became political suicide is the point when the USA jumped the shark.
Gee, Let's see
America's a land of Opportunity alright, Sarah's proof an idiot can rise to wealth and popularity with the right Opportunity. We all know people a dumb and useless as Sarah Palin. Do you think any of them will be successful like Sarah?
It's possible. The entire Republican delegates this term have eliminated two Sarahs (Perry and Bachman) but still have a quartet of idiots with a leader (Santorum) who's every bit as stupid and theocratical as Sarah.
(Gingrach isn't a Christian, he just plays one on stage, he's still an idiot, Honestly America, C'MON! When did you on mass excuse stupidity, dishonesty and the unqualified just on the basis of faith? The Reagan years? )
you mean it is untrue that a rich kid with parents able to donate a wing to a university has better educational choices than a poor kid who has to work summer jobs to make tuition rather than tour europe ?
"those days when we were in different classes based on income, "
Oh , you mean like now ?
I can't believe she is dead serious...
Why in the WORLD would Barack Hussein Obama Jr., a mixed man with a white American mother and a black Kenyan father, go back to an era where slavery was still in place?!?
Better yet, why would Obama go back to even the 50s or 60s, when mixed marriages were frowned upon (to say the least)?!?
I think she's predicting a massive Democratic turnout deep in her heart, and it is driving her insane to the point where her hatred of Obama makes her spread lies even idiots know are false!
Yeah that's why you and your tea party friends are trying to limit the freedoms of women, homosexuals, immigrants and people making below 250,000 dollars a year.
"What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin."
Really? Of course you'll provide a citation for such?
Resides, Republicans already arranged it so that the majority of the uber rich remain so and can stomp on the poor all they like.
You claim you want equalness and fairness. How is making millions per year, paying less than the poor do in taxes (and in many cases, none at all) and ensuring none of the lower class can afford to live because you need another couple million in your pocket that you'll never need? This is the bullshit people are getting fed up with. Millions being put on unemployment, losing everything including their retirement so big business CEOs can make another 2 million on top of their millions they already get that'll never be needed or used, ever.
What the Half-term Halfwit fears is that, given power, blacks will do to whites what antebellum Southern white did to blacks. It's projection - deep down, she wants blacks to be subservient to whites, so she assumes that blacks want the reverse.
[What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin.]
We are still in different classes based on income and skin color.
What I'm getting from this: "There's a black man in the Oval Office! Therefore whites have become the oppressed minority!"
And let's ignore the Arabs and the Asians and the natives. As though they really matter.
Why the fuck would a person who has a mixed race family and got elected on a Progressive/Democratic ticket, want to regress society to Jim Crow laws.
I hate to say it, but you automatically discredit yourself when you say that freedom or opportunities in America are "god-given". They're not. They are derived from the government, which is (or should be) derived from the will of the people. God is not given even the briefest mention in the Constitution, and is therefore NOT the source of any American rights, liberties, etc.
I'm going to go ahead and quote Matt Taibbi and call Sarah here a junior league dimwit.
This is just so...laughable. I mean, she makes her living railing against progressives, who advocate progress, as should be made obvious by their moniker. But then she turns around and accuses Obama of wanting to go back to the old ways. But I thought he was one of dem ebil progressives! Isn't yearning for a return to tradition technically conservative? (yes, I know she thinks that Obama wants to institute blacks as the master race. Lol at that.)
Also, bitch please at "equal opportunities." Twat should do her homework about the profound effects of disenfranchising an entire class of people, economically, politically, hell, psychologically, before she opens her dumb trap.
Sarah Palin is not even trying to make sense anymore. She is unable to reason properly. She has, at most, a bunch of nice-sounding phrases about liberty and equality, which she simply repeats in speeches and interviews, and has somehow managed to build a political career thereby.
"Why are we allowing our country to move backwards instead of moving forward with that understanding that as our charters of liberty spell out for us, we are all created equally."
Oh em gee Sarah, dontcha know if you and your ilk took power in November that's precisely where we'd be heading?
Time to get a new irony meter.
When I first read this, my mind tried not to explode from all the stupidity. Then I saw it was said by Sarah Palin, and for some reason my mind was cleared up, as if it expected such inanity.
Wait a moment! You have a dark-skinned man in the White House, and a woman as Secretary of State, and that means you are NOT all equal? Obama is trying to get you back to the days when he would not be considererd as fully American? Yeah, right!
"You have equal opportunities to work hard and to succeed and to embrace the opportunities, god given opportunities to develop resources and work extremely hard and as I say, to succeed."
Oh Sarah.
"Just as the Christians are equal in heaven but unequal on earth, so the individual members of the nation are equal in the heaven of their political world, and unequal in the earthly existence of society." ~ Karl Marx
