Tex, I think this is what he means: "I have said in the past - and I'll repeat again - that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed," the Illinois Democrat said recently. And I agree with him. But don't let me get in the way of your belief that he works for Satan full-time. I'm sure Saint Sean Hannity and your other vaunted sources of news know more than me.

Yes, this is the obvious interpretation, as Obama for years has stated his opposition to reparations. Most recently yesterday. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j...H9OMgD92AAVLO0 |

Please explain how he's not saying reparations should be made. If you're as smart as you claim to be, share the light.

That is their interpretation of what Obama is saying and apparently it's your interpretation as well. Can you not see how others would think he is for reparations?
If Obama would come out and say what he means, rather than just some vague comment, his words would be more effective.
