Well, CNN has now compared Obama to Moses. Any comment form the Obama worshippers, eh sorry - Obama supporters


Grandson of slaves: Obama is our Moses

SLEDGE, Mississippi (CNN) -- James Presley stands amid chopped cotton, the thick Mississippi mud caked on his well-worn boots. A smile spreads across his face when he talks about voting for Barack Obama and what that might mean for generations to come. His voice picks up a notch. He holds his head up a bit higher.

"There's a heap of pride in voting for a black man," he says.

At 78, Presley is a legend of the past living in the present and now hopeful for the future. A grandson of slaves, he's one of the few men left in America so closely tied to his slave past, still farming cotton on the same land as his ancestors. He's picked cotton since he was just 6 years old.

He and his wife of 57 years, Eva May, raised 13 children and six grandchildren in a cypress-sided house in the middle of cotton fields in northwestern Mississippi. He was a sharecropper most his life, but rarely qualified for food stamps.

His father died in 1935 when he was 5, and he had to step up and be the "Little Man" of the house, a nickname that has stuck seven decades later.

He's lived a raw-knuckled life where hope moved at a molasses-slow pace. The last time he had hope for a better future was four decades ago -- first with President John F. Kennedy and then with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Obama has changed everything to the poor in these parts.

"I'm a church man," he says. "And I kind of figured this here is about like it was with Moses with the children of Israel. On that day, when he gets to be president, we're all going to be rejoicing."

Does he have plans to celebrate on Inauguration Day?

"Oh man, it's gonna be nice. I believe we're gonna have a good time," he says. "I never thought one would get there.

Well technically, CNN didn't paint him out to be Moses a citizen painted him out as Moses. CNN just reported it. There is nothing wrong with Mr. Presley corresponding Barack Obama with the story of Moses although I believe it to be one hell of a stretch of the imagination.

I pray Mr. Presley is not destined for a major eye opening in the coming weeks.

Seems to me like they were attributing the statement to a "grandson of slaves".

The title of the piece is "Grandson of slaves: Obama is our Moses". If I am not mistaken the ':' means that the statement is being attributed to the Grandson of Slaves. CNN was not stating that Obama is "our" Moses, James Presley was the one that made that statement. It does not indicate CNN's agreement to the statement.

That would be like me typing... Obama: will not raise taxes on the poor. I fully believe that President Obama will increase taxes on the poor but I might state that Obama says he won't.

and if he fails it will be because of racist America, the Republican minority, and former Pres Bush

Hehe,

Well, I suppose that "typical" is a good word coming from you, my friend. For instance, it is typical of you to put words in the mouths of liberals so to speak.

That is not what CNN said or even insinuated, but we can count on RSR to report it how he sees it. :poke:

So the headline the used was the only one that fit the story Immie?

Do I need to remind you what reporters who cover Obama as their job have said about him?

Are you saying there is not a love affair going on between the liberal media and Obama?

Or are you one the few people left who think there is no liberal bias in the media, and they are objective in their coverage of PE Obama?

Do I need to remind you what reporters who cover Obama as their job have said about him?

Don't think I discussed that anywhere in this thread.

An objective press? Now there is a novelty for you.

a) All people have biases.

b) Reporters are people.

c) Therefore reporters have biases.

And I would state that most of those reporters are biased with a liberal slant. That doesn't make them bad people.

Not all reporters are liberal though. For instance, you are playing the part of a reporter when you start threads such as this. You clearly ARE biased but definitely not liberal. So not all reporters are liberally biased. :D

Gee Immie, so this headline would be wrong

"Grandson of Slave Pround of Obama's Accomplishments"

Immie, when I went to school I was taught a rports job is to tell us who, what, when, where, why, and how. Not to inject their personal opinions ito the story

In this election, objective journalism died, and it will only get worse. Check the thread I started where DC news anchors are HOSTING a ball for Obama

Immie, I am not a reporter, and I admit my beliefs and bias. The liberal media still tell us they are objective

But that is not what the Grandson of slaves said. The Grandson in question said that Barack Obama was our Moses. That is what the reporter was reporting.

Media objectivity? It didn't die with this election. It has been dead for decades. I could care less if they tell us they are objective. I'd be more likely to believe them if they reported that Elvis Presley was alive and well in Reno NV than I would if they reported that there was no bias found in the media either liberal or conservative.

Of course there were other possible titles. But, this one stated what they were reporting on exactly. James Presley believes that Barack Obama is our Moses. Would you be happier if they added another opinion in the piece that had someone state that they thought he was Pharoah or Gingas Khan?

I'm not defending the media. Last thing on my mind. They are almost, almost but not quite, as bad as politicians.

As for Obama being a socialist, well, if he comes through with all his "promises" from the election, it would be hard to argue against it. But, me thinks, they were nothing more than gas passed in order to convince as many people as he could to vote for him. When the time comes, it will be more "politics as usual" and he will screw America just like his predecessor(s).

I can't disagree with any of that, but I take you back to the opening post where you claimed that CNN painted Obama as our Moses. That is not the case. They reported on a man who believes Obama is our Moses. They did not do the painting. James Presley did the painting.

As far as I am concerned James Presley is senile, but CNN is only reporting in this case. Nothing more.

As a matter of fact, yes, I would have approved of that headline and I would have approved of the piece as well. It tell just exactly how James Presley feels about Barack Obama. I see nothing wrong with that. I see nothing wrong with the title or the piece.

Sure CNN is biased and partial to Barack Obama. So what? I'd rather know that up front than have them hide it behind so called media objectivity.

There is nothing at all wrong with the title of the article or the message of the article. Both speak the truth and that is how it should be.

Of course, if CNN were objective they would do articles on other people... ie people who think he is a socialist... hey, maybe they will do one on you? CNN is by no means objective, but the title of the article is accurate as it seems the article itself is.

I'm not willing to argue with you and I am definitely not offended by it. But, it seems that you seem to think when RSR and I discuss something that I'm attacking him. In several of his and my discussions, you have participated and it just seems to me like you think I'm picking on him. AND YOU ALWAYS TAKE HIS SIDE! :poke:

Although, your denial has me wondering if maybe I'm thinking of Kathianne. Maybe, I'm mixing the two of you up, as you both happen to be favorites of mine, but I'm fairly certain it is you who jump on my case for "putting RSR in his place" or trying to anyway. :laugh2:

Not at all. Immie speaks the truth. The bashing has begun before the guy is even in office...I am very disappointed in some of the members here, they sound so low class and hate filled. I'm not alone I'm sure..

he may not be sworn in..but he sure is acting like the president...

The Presidential seal on his plane, and his speaking podium

Ordering Presidential coins to be mented BEFORE the election

Saying he will replace the bowling alley with a basketball court BEFRE the election

Yea, I would say he actually thought he was President

Nt sure what you are talking about? I responded specifically to Immie's saying that RSR is a reporter. Care to explain how "RSR is a reporter" is the truth, or what my response has to do with bashing Obama?

As for your second sentence, you have expressed your disappointment with people here for a while. That's your prerogative. I happen to think we have a very nice bunch here, especially compared to many other boards I've seen.

Mr P, I can honestly say the only thing I have ever smoked in my entire life are my MORE cigs

As far as the cold, once Obama is sworn in, the clouds will part, the sun will come out, and the glow would warm you up

I'll hold ya to that, RSR.

He should act Presidential..I wouldn't expect less.

According to his supporters MR P - that is what should happen

They will see it if they don't faint away during his speech :laugh2:

Not a while..only twice that I can think of..whatever, nitpick away it doesn't change my mind nor the posts by those just slamming the guy. Have fun with it.:poke:

Mr P, all I have ever point out is the liberal bias in the media, and what Obama and the Dems have said and done

Now if that is "slamming" the guy - so be it

I have even posted where I have supported Obama on some of his flip flops. Such as not raising taxes, not closing GITMO, and not starting a pullout of Iraq on day one

I'm not willing to argue with you and I am definitely not offended by it. But, it seems that you seem to think when RSR and I discuss something that I'm attacking him. In several of his and my discussions, you have participated and it just seems to me like you think I'm picking on him. AND YOU ALWAYS TAKE HIS SIDE! :poke:

Although, your denial has me wondering if maybe I'm thinking of Kathianne. Maybe, I'm mixing the two of you up, as you both happen to be favorites of mine, but I'm fairly certain it is you who jump on my case for "putting RSR in his place" or trying to anyway. :laugh2:

I don't think I've come to RSR's aid, except perhaps with MFM. On the other hand, there are times I think he or others are not following the conversation, intentionally or not, and I will try to get back on point. I don't like things I'm interested in, derailed by simple remarks or pictures. LOL! I like XXXXX and many others that post that kind of thing, they do know how I feel.

As for the side topic that's come up here, I think the mimicking of crazy left BDR folks by 'conservative voters' is more of the 'crazy' stuff. I don't like what this type of hyperbole/hate stuff is doing to our country or the board. Just saying...

I find plenty to criticize about Obama choices and utterances, I've no need to worry about his choice in dogs, birth certificates, basketball courts...

Kathianne,

I hate to say this, but I'm not following this post. Who's XXXXX? Where do the crazy left BDR folks come in here? I'm confused.

As I said, I didn't think it was you, but there are times that I think you said something then go back to find that it was Abbey. Hey, what can I say? Both of you have impressed me and I enjoy reading posts from you both.

I'm sorry Immie, I should not have posted that name and have edited both your and my post that referred to it.

My reference to BDS folks comes from the reaction of many on the right, to those since 2000 than claim 'Bush is not their president' and other such things.

The 'right', far right that is, are now doing the same in inverse to Obama. Both, IMHO are wrong. That is what I was trying to say.

As far as Abbey and myself sounding the same, well quite simple, we're both brilliant. ;)

No problem on editing out the name. I assume that you meant RSR?

As for you and Abbey being brilliant, well, if you aren't then you're both respectable anyway and a pleasure to read.
