Obama slays it singing Amazing Grace

I don't know ..but from what I heard.. he was awful pitchy and had to look down at the words of the song three or four times like he was unfamiliar with them.. he was also covered a couple times when he stalled by the choir..

Also .. the way Obama was talking after the song ..just proves how correct Sen.Harry Reid (D-NV) was in 2008 when he described Obams's dialect as something he could change when he wanted to ....

Can I get an Amen ?

Go outside dude. Start with 10 minutes and work up to 30 minutes.

To his credit, it was a very nice thing to do since this tragic event took place in a church and a prayer study setting.  I know he probably is not accustomed to singing in fron of an audience like he is to speaking.  But for a nonsinger I thought he did well.  I wish he had sung the whole song.  I thought it was a very nice gesture.  I certainly cannot knock him for not singing at all other somber events.  And having attended a many a service in black churches I can tell you this is totally expected and appreciated.

I may not agree with his politics---but I like this and the fact that he likes sports.

Ah, yes. Now that he has used the word n**** in an interview...

(and justifiably so as it gets to the core of the raging bigots mindset, like your own in that, if you don't wear a hood, or you don't use racial slurs, you are not a racist and don't contribute to the larger zeitgeist of degradation of the black community, which leads to the, at its worst, the Dylan Hood's of the world, which leads to, at its worst, a black male having the life choked out of him on a sidewalk for the suggestion he is selling loose cigarettes, which leads to, on several levels, a hierarchy of race, of which blacks are far below Caucasians, in large part, for the very continual public degradation I speak, as they have been throughout history because of raging bigots like yourself),

now that he has used that word, all the bigots now identify his 'biracial-ness' to somehow lasso in the 'white Obama' and therefore, it is racist half-white man and a non-racist half-black man, inhabiting the same body.

Yes, that makes as much sense as you calling me a racist, something not a single poster here has been able to defend given my race, when of course, challenged.

But before this he was a Kenyan born Muslim extremist looking to destroy the country.

Yes, I wonder how Fox News will spin him as a Muslim as he gave one of the most eloquent, thoughtful, and heartfelt Christian eulogies I've ever heard, continually defending and praising the 'black Church'. What a genius closeted Muslim he must be...

Yes, Fox News doesn't look too good today now do they.

Nor do you. But when have either of you ever...

Now do you have any other questions you need answered or will you do yourself a favor and keep your fingers tapping in some other non-race related thread, because frankly, you know about as much as Dylan Hood does about the black community, full of prejudice and hate and again, degradation (which really is the worst of the three because it accomplishes the goals of the first two without being overt).

Excellent post.
