Obama on Slavery and the Constitution

This morning I came across this site and thought it might prove interesting, if you haven't already seen it or heard the radio excerpt or full broadcast with Obama as the guest. I also left a comment on that site and have included a copy of it in this email (below).

See my comment No. 18. --

Its always good to hear a person’s ideas within context of the times. How ironic that this radio interview took place in Sept. 2001. I am finding it difficult to forget that Obama called our Constitution an “imperfect document . . . ” and stated that it shows ” Blind spot of framers,” which, Obama also said, continues today.

His continuing mindset leads me to question his potential role as U.S. President (if elected - Nov. 2008). And it lends credence to his campaign rhetoric and plans to “change” America — by starting with the U.S. Constitution, even as unthinkable as that might sound to right-thinking Americans. Beware and take care of what Obama has said throughout his state, national, and international presence. And believe him. All ongoing documentation and his actions show that he is not the man for the highest office in this nation. And that remark has nothing to do with the color of his skin, as he would have Americans and the world view depict as such.

Get informed on this side of the ballot box, because the other side of it would be too late.
