Watch Obama's Controversial Katrina Speech

For anyone who hasn't seen this.  Though it was only published late last night, this video has been viewed by millions in less than 24 hours.  Meh, I was decidedly underwhelmed.  He was speaking to a particular audience and he obviously adjusted his style and accent accordingly. All candidates are guilty of this.  Obama is a failure by virtually every measure, but this speech isn't one of them.

Here's the Daily Caller story...

At the moment he uttered those words — you are getting short-changed in the Katrina reconstruction funds — the administration, the government had pledged $110 billion to the Gulf. Two weeks before this speech, the Bush administration gave the Katrina-affected areas $7 billion with no strings attached,” Carlson explained. “He was a sitting senator. He knew that and he said this anyway to that audience and I think that’s a shocking thing to do.”

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.

Probably reading words that he actually wrote. But Hannity is right that this kind of stuff happens all the time. No harm no foul.
