Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity (Video)

On Sean Hannity's program last night, Tucker Carlson made some interesting comments about the video of Obama delivering his "other race speech" in 2007.

He says the theme of Obama's speech is "They don't like you because of your skin color."

Obama is inciting racial division. It's very "us and them."

It makes Obama sound like liar.

He spouted completely different claims a couple of weeks ago when he was campaigning on Late Show with David Letterman.

"But I can tell you this: When I won in 2008, 47 percent of the American people voted for John McCain," Obama said. "They didn't vote for me. And what I said on election night was: 'Even though you didn't vote for me, I hear your voices, and I'm going to work as hard as I can to be your president.'"

"And one of the things I've learned as president is you represent the entire country. And when I meet Republicans as I'm traveling around the country, they are hard-working family people who care deeply about this country. And my expectation is, is that if you want to be president, you gotta work for everybody, not just for some," Obama said.

Compare that with his 2007 remarks.

He's not talking about working for everybody.

From the Daily Caller:

“Let me just be totally clear for anyone who just watched it and who has seen Obama speak in public over the last ten years will note, this accent is absurd,” Carlson said.

“This is not the way Obama talks — at least it’s not the way he’s talked in the dozens, the scores of speeches I’ve watched him give, or public appearances I’ve seen him make. This is a put-on. This is phony. That’s issue one. The second issue is he is telling a predominantly black audience something very clear: The federal government doesn’t like you because you are black.”

He said that Obama’s use of racial overtones to describe the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina had negative implications on several levels.

“That’s what he’s saying: ‘They don’t like you’ because they are black. That is the theme of the speech from front to back, from beginning to end: ‘They don’t like you because of your skin color.’ And that is a shockingly — that’s a nasty thing to say. It’s a divisive thing to say. It’s a demagogic thing to say. And in the case of Katrina, it’s an untrue thing to say.”

...When asked by host Sean Hannity if it had so-called “dog whistle” qualities, Carlson responded by saying it went beyond that.

“This is not a dog whistle,” Carlson said. “This is a dog siren.”

“These are appeals to racial solidarity. And a few minutes before that, he said, ‘Our people’ — ‘our young people’ should have gotten the construction jobs to rebuild after Katrina, but instead they went to Halliburton, right? So look, he is make very clear case, again, on the basis of his racial solidarity with this audience, that they are getting shafted by a racist federal government. And by the way, unless you can provide evidence that that’s true, unless you can nail down factually that that’s true, you should not say things like that because it’s dangerous to say things like that.”

Here's video:



While I don't think the video of Obama saying these outrageous things in such an unusual manner will change the minds of his supporters, I do think some of the undecided voters might be swayed by it.

It's just more proof that Obama is a divider. He panders. He's insincere. He's willing to say racially inflammatory things for his political gain.

A lot of us already know that about him. For some, however, this video might be enlightening.
