1994 Obama tape unearthed - he disses "values"
Here is some proof that Obama's views on the middle class and on "values" have not changed since 1994. This 1994 lecture was to students at Nebraska Wesleyan University on the nature of community values. It shows that Clinton was far too conservative for Obama's tastes. IOW, Obama was/is far left of Clinton.
In the 1994 recording, Obama speaks derisively of the "values" articulated by leading Democratic figures like Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson. Remember this when you hear him talking about "our shared American values."
Quote:"Values have made a comeback," Obama is heard saying. "Dan Quayle talks about values. He talks about Murphy Brown and her lack of values. Bill Clinton talks about values. Jesse Jackson talks about values. So we have values all over the place. Politicians really like values now. Part of the reason for that is values are cheap, at least the way they talk about them. You don’t have to pay any money or tax anybody to talk about values. Family values, American values, values.”
“First as I said I think values are dynamic. Part of the reason I don’t trust Dan Quayle talking about values and I often don’t trust Bill Clinton talking about values is they tend to have a static notion of values. Dan Quayle talks about values in terms of Ozzie and Harriet values…
I’m always struck by values that are embodied in these television shows which I think are the values that people have in mind when they talk about return to American values. The wife is at home, she’s not working, Dad’s got his 9 to 5, there are no African-Americans in these family values. There’s no discussion of poverty in these values. There’s not much talk about a nuclear arms race that was taking place on the television programs. So the notion is that we can somehow return to that time and recapture those values without acknowledging all the things that were left out. Well, that’s not the case.”
Obama believed (still does) that talk of values without social action or without a major government role is empty talk.
Story appeared on Buzzfeed.
For any that have read "Dreams from my Father" know, Obama reacted in favor of Rev. Wright's church which had a Black Values System. Here are a few excerpts.
Quote:THE BLACK VALUE SYSTEM
Statement of Purpose
We have prayerfully called the wisdom of all past generations of suffering Blacks for guidance in fashioning an instrument of Black self-determination, the Black Value System…
Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must keep the captive ignorant educationally, but trained sufficiently well to serve the system. Also, the captors must be able to identify the “talented tenth” of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captor’s control.
Those so identified as separated from the rest of the people by:
Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.
Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.
Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of “we” and “they” instead of “us”.
So, while it is permissible to chase “middle-incomeness” with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method-the psychological entrapment of Black “middleclassness”: If we avoid the snare, we will also diminish our “voluntary” contributions to methods A and B. And more importantly, Black people no longer will be deprived of their birthright, the leadership, resourcefulness, and example of their own talented persons…
Can you see now the influence of far left ideology on this black liberation theology? The language is so similar as are the ideas. Might be good to remember this when you hear Obama talk about how much he is working to ensure the survival of the middle class.
I got this excerpt from here.

I don't think these are bad questions that Obama asks, but his answers show that he's not very bright, and much more of a manipulator than a statesman.

Because of the media's sobering love affair with the one, he does not even have to mop up these loose ends.

Audio not good enough for you?
Of course not, because it reveals the Obama that you don't want the rest of us to know about.

Your thread title says he disses values...but your excerpted commentary seems to show that he is 'dissing' those who use values as an issue without necessary having them. Isn't that different?
