Top Ten Reasons the 2007 Obama Video Matters in 2012
10/3/12

Even before the Daily Caller released the video last night of President Obama's 2007 speech before a majority black audience in Virginia, our corrupt media was already declaring it "old news." Time's Mark Halperin had a full-blown meltdown and BuzzFeed Politics' Ben Smith declared the story over and dead hours before anyone had read it. What's especially pathetic about Smith is that one of his site's signatures is scouring the Internet for old videos and publishing them as Â… news!
Once the Daily Caller story did hit, and it became clear that Tucker Carlson had found never-before-seen video of Obama in a way voters have never seen him, none of that mattered. The desperate narrative to protect Obama had already been set and, as though the rest of us were insane, the corrupt media doubled down in its efforts to tell those of us who had never seen this video that we had.
Of course, it's all lies – blatant lies meant to control the explosion of an explosive story, meant to justify why the very same media still obsessed over Romney's "47 percent" moment will now downplay and ignore as a nothingburger Obama caught on video spewing racialist division and the kind of wild conspiracy theories a sitting U.S. Senator had to know weren't true.
But New Media is The Media, and this video will get disseminated and voters will see it. And like Romney's "47 percent" moment, this new Obama video is a legitimate news story worth covering.
Here are ten reasons whyÂ…
1. The video released by the Daily Caller last night does include footage the media never broadcast or reported on.
---
2. Now we know the media and the Obama campaign "selectively edited" the video in 2007 in order to cover up Obama's divisive racial rhetoric.
---
3. Past is prologue. Always
---
4. Obama grew up in Hawaii and Chicago, so where in the world does that hilariously fake southern accent come from?
---
5. In order to stoke racial division and resentment, Obama lied to his audience.
---
6. Obama is prone to believing and spreading dishonest and wildly false conspiracy theories.
---
7. At the 19:20 mark we learn that the Christian Obama doesn't know the Lord's Prayer.
---
8. Obama's "us vs. them" rhetoric and beliefs extends to his governance.
---
9. At the 20:10 mark, Obama laments the social injustice that created 37 million Americans living in poverty and pledges to fight that injustice as president.
---
10. When Obama gave this speech, the Reverend Wright scandal had yet to break.
---
11. We know it's news because the corrupt media is telling us there's nothing to see here, even as they kill themselves to blow it back on Romney and ensure as few people as possible see it.
