Remarks of Senator Barack Obama: The Great Need of the Hour
Atlanta, GA | January 20, 2008
The Scripture tells us that when Joshua and the Israelites arrived at the gates of Jericho, they could not enter. The walls of the city were too steep for any one person to climb; too strong to be taken down with brute force. And so they sat for days, unable to pass on through.
But God had a plan for his people. He told them to stand together and march together around the city, and on the seventh day he told them that when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn, they should speak with one voice. And at the chosen hour, when the horn sounded and a chorus of voices cried out together, the mighty walls of Jericho came tumbling down.
There are many lessons to take from this passage, just as there are many lessons to take from this day, just as there are many memories that fill the space of this church. As I was thinking about which ones we need to remember at this hour, my mind went back to the very beginning of the modern Civil Rights Era.
Because before Memphis and the mountaintop; before the bridge in Selma and the march on Washington; before Birmingham and the beatings; the fire hoses and the loss of those four little girls; before there was King the icon and his magnificent dream, there was King the young preacher and a people who found themselves suffering under the yoke of oppression.
And on the eve of the bus boycotts in Montgomery, at a time when many were still doubtful about the possibilities of change, a time when those in the black community mistrusted themselves, and at times mistrusted each other, King inspired with words not of anger, but of an urgency that still speaks to us today:
“Unity is the great need of the hour” is what King said. Unity is how we shall overcome.
What Dr. King understood is that if just one person chose to walk instead of ride the bus, those walls of oppression would not be moved. But maybe if a few more walked, the foundation might start to shake. If a few more women were willing to do what Rosa Parks had done, maybe the cracks would start to show. If teenagers took freedom rides from North to South, maybe a few bricks would come loose. Maybe if white folks marched because they had come to understand that their freedom too was at stake in the impending battle, the wall would begin to sway. And if enough Americans were awakened to the injustice; if they joined together, North and South, rich and poor, Christian and Jew, then perhaps that wall would come tumbling down, and justice would flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Unity is the great need of the hour - the great need of this hour. Not because it sounds pleasant or because it makes us feel good, but because it’s the only way we can overcome the essential deficit that exists in this country.
I’m not talking about a budget deficit. I’m not talking about a trade deficit. I’m not talking about a deficit of good ideas or new plans.
I’m talking about a moral deficit. I’m talking about an empathy deficit. I’m taking about an inability to recognize ourselves in one another; to understand that we are our brother’s keeper; we are our sister’s keeper; that, in the words of Dr. King, we are all tied together in a single garment of destiny.
We have an empathy deficit when we’re still sending our children down corridors of shame - schools in the forgotten corners of America where the color of your skin still affects the content of your education.
We have a deficit when CEOs are making more in ten minutes than some workers make in ten months; when families lose their homes so that lenders make a profit; when mothers can’t afford a doctor when their children get sick.
We have a deficit in this country when there is Scooter Libby justice for some and Jena justice for others; when our children see nooses hanging from a schoolyard tree today, in the present, in the twenty-first century.
We have a deficit when homeless veterans sleep on the streets of our cities; when innocents are slaughtered in the deserts of Darfur; when young Americans serve tour after tour of duty in a war that should’ve never been authorized and never been waged.
And we have a deficit when it takes a breach in our levees to reveal a breach in our compassion; when it takes a terrible storm to reveal the hungry that God calls on us to feed; the sick He calls on us to care for; the least of these He commands that we treat as our own.
So we have a deficit to close. We have walls - barriers to justice and equality - that must come down. And to do this, we know that unity is the great need of this hour.
Unfortunately, all too often when we talk about unity in this country, we’ve come to believe that it can be purchased on the cheap. We’ve come to believe that racial reconciliation can come easily - that it’s just a matter of a few ignorant people trapped in the prejudices of the past, and that if the demagogues and those who exploit our racial divisions will simply go away, then all our problems would be solved.
All too often, we seek to ignore the profound institutional barriers that stand in the way of ensuring opportunity for all children, or decent jobs for all people, or health care for those who are sick. We long for unity, but are unwilling to pay the price.
But of course, true unity cannot be so easily won. It starts with a change in attitudes - a broadening of our minds, and a broadening of our hearts.
It’s not easy to stand in somebody else’s shoes. It’s not easy to see past our differences. We’ve all encountered this in our own lives. But what makes it even more difficult is that we have a politics in this country that seeks to drive us apart - that puts up walls between us.
We are told that those who differ from us on a few things are different from us on all things; that our problems are the fault of those who don’t think like us or look like us or come from where we do. The welfare queen is taking our tax money. The immigrant is taking our jobs. The believer condemns the non-believer as immoral, and the non-believer chides the believer as intolerant.
For most of this country’s history, we in the African-American community have been at the receiving end of man’s inhumanity to man. And all of us understand intimately the insidious role that race still sometimes plays - on the job, in the schools, in our health care system, and in our criminal justice system.
And yet, if we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that none of our hands are entirely clean. If we’re honest with ourselves, we’ll acknowledge that our own community has not always been true to King’s vision of a beloved community.
We have scorned our gay brothers and sisters instead of embracing them. The scourge of anti-Semitism has, at times, revealed itself in our community. For too long, some of us have seen immigrants as competitors for jobs instead of companions in the fight for opportunity.
Every day, our politics fuels and exploits this kind of division across all races and regions; across gender and party. It is played out on television. It is sensationalized by the media. And last week, it even crept into the campaign for President, with charges and counter-charges that served to obscure the issues instead of illuminating the critical choices we face as a nation.
So let us say that on this day of all days, each of us carries with us the task of changing our hearts and minds. The division, the stereotypes, the scape-goating, the ease with which we blame our plight on others - all of this distracts us from the common challenges we face - war and poverty; injustice and inequality. We can no longer afford to build ourselves up by tearing someone else down. We can no longer afford to traffic in lies or fear or hate. It is the poison that we must purge from our politics; the wall that we must tear down before the hour grows too late.
Because if Dr. King could love his jailor; if he could call on the faithful who once sat where you do to forgive those who set dogs and fire hoses upon them, then surely we can look past what divides us in our time, and bind up our wounds, and erase the empathy deficit that exists in our hearts.
But if changing our hearts and minds is the first critical step, we cannot stop there. It is not enough to bemoan the plight of poor children in this country and remain unwilling to push our elected officials to provide the resources to fix our schools. It is not enough to decry the disparities of health care and yet allow the insurance companies and the drug companies to block much-needed reforms. It is not enough for us to abhor the costs of a misguided war, and yet allow ourselves to be driven by a politics of fear that sees the threat of attack as way to scare up votes instead of a call to come together around a common effort.
The Scripture tells us that we are judged not just by word, but by deed. And if we are to truly bring about the unity that is so crucial in this time, we must find it within ourselves to act on what we know; to understand that living up to this country’s ideals and its possibilities will require great effort and resources; sacrifice and stamina.
And that is what is at stake in the great political debate we are having today. The changes that are needed are not just a matter of tinkering at the edges, and they will not come if politicians simply tell us what we want to hear. All of us will be called upon to make some sacrifice. None of us will be exempt from responsibility. We will have to fight to fix our schools, but we will also have to challenge ourselves to be better parents. We will have to confront the biases in our criminal justice system, but we will also have to acknowledge the deep-seated violence that still resides in our own communities and marshal the will to break its grip.
That is how we will bring about the change we seek. That is how Dr. King led this country through the wilderness. He did it with words - words that he spoke not just to the children of slaves, but the children of slave owners. Words that inspired not just black but also white; not just the Christian but the Jew; not just the Southerner but also the Northerner.
He led with words, but he also led with deeds. He also led by example. He led by marching and going to jail and suffering threats and being away from his family. He led by taking a stand against a war, knowing full well that it would diminish his popularity. He led by challenging our economic structures, understanding that it would cause discomfort. Dr. King understood that unity cannot be won on the cheap; that we would have to earn it through great effort and determination.
That is the unity - the hard-earned unity - that we need right now. It is that effort, and that determination, that can transform blind optimism into hope - the hope to imagine, and work for, and fight for what seemed impossible before.
The stories that give me such hope don’t happen in the spotlight. They don’t happen on the presidential stage. They happen in the quiet corners of our lives. They happen in the moments we least expect. Let me give you an example of one of those stories.
There is a young, twenty-three year old white woman named Ashley Baia who organizes for our campaign in Florence, South Carolina. She’s been working to organize a mostly African-American community since the beginning of this campaign, and the other day she was at a roundtable discussion where everyone went around telling their story and why they were there.
And Ashley said that when she was nine years old, her mother got cancer. And because she had to miss days of work, she was let go and lost her health care. They had to file for bankruptcy, and that’s when Ashley decided that she had to do something to help her mom.
She knew that food was one of their most expensive costs, and so Ashley convinced her mother that what she really liked and really wanted to eat more than anything else was mustard and relish sandwiches. Because that was the cheapest way to eat.
She did this for a year until her mom got better, and she told everyone at the roundtable that the reason she joined our campaign was so that she could help the millions of other children in the country who want and need to help their parents too.
So Ashley finishes her story and then goes around the room and asks everyone else why they’re supporting the campaign. They all have different stories and reasons. Many bring up a specific issue. And finally they come to this elderly black man who’s been sitting there quietly the entire time. And Ashley asks him why he’s there. And he does not bring up a specific issue. He does not say health care or the economy. He does not say education or the war. He does not say that he was there because of Barack Obama. He simply says to everyone in the room, “I am here because of Ashley.”
By itself, that single moment of recognition between that young white girl and that old black man is not enough. It is not enough to give health care to the sick, or jobs to the jobless, or education to our children.
But it is where we begin. It is why the walls in that room began to crack and shake.
And if they can shake in that room, they can shake in Atlanta.
And if they can shake in Atlanta, they can shake in Georgia.
And if they can shake in Georgia, they can shake all across America. And if enough of our voices join together; we can bring those walls tumbling down. The walls of Jericho can finally come tumbling down. That is our hope - but only if we pray together, and work together, and march together.
Brothers and sisters, we cannot walk alone.
In the struggle for peace and justice, we cannot walk alone.
In the struggle for opportunity and equality, we cannot walk alone
In the struggle to heal this nation and repair this world, we cannot walk alone.
So I ask you to walk with me, and march with me, and join your voice with mine, and together we will sing the song that tears down the walls that divide us, and lift up an America that is truly indivisible, with liberty, and justice, for all. May God bless the memory of the great pastor of this church, and may God bless the United States of America.
Note that this speech was given a couple of months before the mainstream media finally began to take note of the Reverend Doctor Jeremiah Wright’s pronouncements.
Read this or listen to what is said carefully.
For when you strip away Mr. Obama’s clearly empty talk of “unity,” it is a speech that could have easily have been given by Mr. Obama’s spiritual mentor. In fact he seemed to be channeling his pastor rather than Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is actually speech that is rife with hatred and envy. But it has been somewhat sugar-coated with more politically correct language than what Mr. Wright sometimes uses. But the sentiments are exactly the same.
The rich white men are keep the black (and Hispanic, homosexual) people down. And that must be forcibly ended.
In fact, this is the very same theme of Mr. Wright’s bitter, class-warfare “sermon,” The Audacity To Hope, which Mr. Obama claims caused him to join his church and inspired the title for his second autobiography:
“It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere… That’s the world on which hope sits!”
You see, all the suffering in the world is caused by the greed of white people.
Indeed, the only unity that Mr. Obama called for is to unify against the “wealthy,” the insurance companies , the drug companies, Scooter Libby, FEMA and the other entrenched forces of evil that blacks (and Hispanics and homosexuals — because he wants their votes) face.
For exactly whose walls will be tumbling down? It would appear to be anyone who dares to oppose his socialist, redistributionist policies.
By the way, Ashley is lucky. We were so poor we had to eat dirt sandwiches.
Where are my reparations?

“It is not enough to give health care to the sick, or jobs to the jobless, or education to our children.”
Holy crap, it isn’t?
In the first place, people who truly can’t afford health care can get it already. And everyone gets an education, from which they get however much they invest. But which jobs are we supposed to be handing out? I thought that to get a job you have to 1) be qualified, 2) dress nicely and act normal in an interview, and 3) then be relentless in pursuing work until you succeed. So I’m really curious to see how this new idea of dreaming up jobs for everyone goes, especially in application to people who didn’t bother to learn to read and didn’t develop any skills. “Here you go, Johnny! Put on this apron and stand right here. You’re our new jelly bean taster! Try not to shoot anyone who may appear to belong to a different gang.”
So if all this is not enough, what WILL BE? I’m very afraid of not just this man, but of people who listen to this ultimate B.S. and not see what he’s really saying.

SG - you forgot gays - Barry does indicate that he wants to include gays in his unity program. . .
Using the Old Testament implies that Barry’s religious education is not Christian but leans toward a more fundamental version. Sort of like the difference between Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot as compared to Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. . .
Which apparently Barry has not a clue about at all.
And I wonder exactly where Barry applies people like me - multicultural and ok with having feet in a dozen different ancestorial pots - prefering the simple moniker American? According to his tome of wisdom Dreams of My Father - the answer is the scrap heap - you must chose the minority race moniker or you are not being authentic - to paraphrase a girlfriend of his (Joyce) Why can’t I just be me?!?

Barack and the black community need to tell us, once and for all, specifically what it’s going to take to get over the long dead practice of slavery in this country. I’ve never had a slave and Barack Hussein Obama has never been one so what do you want from us? We’re getting tired of trying just to see the anger and attitudes just get worse. He says, “And we have a deficit when it takes a breach in our levees to reveal a breach in our compassion”. There was an enormous outpouring of compassion from white people who gave their money, time, labor and even opened their homes to help the people of New Orleans. If he’s saying it took Katrina to reveal how bad things already were in New Orleans, he should remember that black liberals, like himself, were running things in that “chocolate” city.
Liberal class rhetoric doesn’t work on those of us who had to survive it. I’ve seen welfare stagnation and how it coaxes people away from their responsibilities. It causes genuine suffering, especially for children born into it. No responsible role models, no education from the liberal school asylums, but plenty of pressure to take up crime and drugs. He paints this picture of everyone being so caring and innocent like young Ashley. They’re just struggling against an unfair establishment but just need a handout to even the playing field. Nonsense! All I saw was cruel, selfish, and abusive animals who care more about getting high than caring for their children. And nothing has changed thanks to more and more liberal policies.
Tom Maher, who’s subbing for Mark Levin today, once said, “sometimes we need crutches to get by but if you don’t eventually toss them aside, you’ll never be able to run”. It’s a fact of life that living things swim upstream and facing challenges is what makes us grow stronger - not lying down and crying that we’re helpless to take control of our destinies. Maybe privileged elitist buy into this garbage so they can feel good and caring, but like the welfare moocher, many of them have never known the fulfillment of earning your way in life.
I don’t believe that Obama wants reconciliation and peaceful coexistence between the races or classes. He profits politically and financially by identifying/creating victims and abusers. It’s no surprise that his words continually appeal to emotions because they can’t stand up to intellect. He and his fellow liberals have been dumbing down the American population for decades in order to sell this false reality to us. He has all the character of a lowlife trial lawyer. When the walls come tumbling down he will be far removed from the real oppressed.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Well-said GuppyNblue.
“…It causes genuine suffering, especially for children born into it.”
I see it everyday in this mostly black, poor and rural part of eastern NC where liberalism and its time-honored policies are on display for all to see. It’s quite a travesty.
You’re also right that those responsible for it are nowhere to be seen and haven’t been for a very long while. BTW, this district votes overwhelmingly democrat. They know where there bread is buttered and there is no end in site.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
As much as it angers me to see liberals try to redefine American values, it burns me even more to see proponents of “liberation theology” cut God out of the Bible and pretend that it’s actually all about how humanity is supposed to save itself.
And I can’t let this pass without mentioning the double standard . . . when Bush gives a political speech with even one Biblical allusion you get a sizeable chorus of liberals crying “Theocracy!” (Many of these are the same ones fawning over Obama.)
April 10th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
GuppyNblue:
Your post does us all proud, Thank you!
“It’s no surprise that his words continually appeal to emotions because they can’t stand up to intellect.”
Can this statement be improved upon, If so, I cant see how, and those very words should be engraved on Obama’s tombstone.
April 10th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
GuppyNblue:
Your post does us all proud, Thank you!
I agree.
This Presidential campaign has done much damage to America. Many are blind to the fact that O’bama’s stealth racist rhetoric is actually dividing America and not uniting us.
April 10th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Take everything Obama says in his speeches, scuff it up a bit, and you can hear not only Wright, but Farrakahn, Jackson, Sharpton, and any other number of race-baiters and America haters. The only real difference is the style of delivery and the intellectual shine lacking in the rhetoric of the others. Contrary to popular opinion, Obama proves it is, indeed, possible to polish a turd!
April 10th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
I agree with all about GuppyNBlue’s post - “It’s no surprise that his words continually appeal to emotions because they can’t stand up to intellect” - Wow.
Re-reading this gem (NOT) of a speech, I have to say - what saddens me most is not that a politician has spoken these words - America has sadly heard these words way too often for years - it is that there are people who don’t see that the very person speaking them is advocating more divisive, more racism, more poverty, more injustice, more intolerance, more inequality, and certainly more danger for America. . .And they will gladly vote for him, because he speaks well. . .
April 10th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
“… .And they will gladly vote for him, because he speaks well. . .”
Romans 16:18
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

“Maybe if white folks marched because they had come to understand that their freedom too was at stake”
What the heck does he mean by this! Is this a veiled threat?
He’s right though, (B.O’ own words) …whites people freedoms are at stake; every time a new adjudication is made for a special interest group that is..

For those who thinks Barack Obama talks rhetoric…listen up, when are people going to take responsibility for the present situation of America? You don’t like his “Urgency of now”?? What do you like? The Clinton’s corruption and lies, recklessness and irrisponsibility?? Or do not like the speech for personal reasons perhap’s…something about your views on ‘your life’….don’t forget, you are responsible for your view’s and your behavior, but their is a higher commitment to God. That is what he is talking about, and it includes the entire human race.
He is bright, articulate, an intellect, compassionate, tempered…very balanced with temprament. He is a realist compared to an idealist, people absorbed, not self absorbed. He has kept above the fray…not lowered ‘his’ standards for his opponents….and when that 3 am call comes…he will be surrounded by ’sound mind’ people, experts and ‘even tempered’ souls like himself. He is highly intelligent in ‘finance’, ‘political wit’ and Judgement than either Clinton’s ever had.
Corrupt politicians are exciting to watch, can be very pursuasive, manipulative, and dramatic….but honestly, do we need all that drama all over again. Who cares about Jeremiah Wright? Really, I’m sure he is a wonderful man, but honestly…he is living with his experiences, and might I add, my experiences also. And I am a white woman who seen this ‘unfortunate and humiliating’ trauma commited. I was watching this, with confusion, disgust and anger….that continues in some ways today. So, you can’t understand anyone…..until you become a very polished listener. Then do what is right for your community and your own character. That is what this man is about . JUDGEMENT AND INTEGRITY
Barack Obama has had more experience than either Clinton, whe he announced his campaign. He spent many years in community organizations, lawyer, state legislature and a couple years as U.S. Senator. He hasn’t thrown this in their face. Clinton was a governor for 10-15 years (many other things..I won’t go into), but he did not have the state experience on that level or Hillary. As a President Bill Clinton was a disaster. He was impulsive, reckless, righteous, irrisponsible and cost the taxpayers of America millions from his crimes. That alone would pay for the prized Health Care they propose. Both Bill and Hillary were crooks in Arkansas, crooks in the WH and crooks today. Neither, worthy of the the highest office. It’s like a couple of punk, drug dealers came to office and ’stained’ your country.

Just wanted to throw in a bit on Barry and his mentor. There was a discussion over at ACOC and a lady was bummed she got banned from Hannity’s chat and ws discussing what she wrote about Barry and the Rev.

“He is bright, articulate, an intellect, compassionate, tempered…very balanced with temprament.”
If you were talking about General Petraeus I would say you were correct.
But the person you’re talking about is a typical Chicago politician who thought by keeping his real beliefs hidden, his public record bare, and getting a few rich Syrians to finance him, he could con his way in to the White House. As for his God, I doubt very seriously that someone who thinks the Muslim call to evening prayers is one of the most beautiful sound on earth worships the same God, I do.
” On February 27th, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.”
In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent.”
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet… ”
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.
Obama knows this from his Quranic studies — and he knows the New York Times will publish this fact and it will be seen throughout the Islamic world.
Regardless of Obama’s religion, what message is he sending the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims?

No, I think he talks out both sides of his neck, his speeches are empty platitudes, and that he is a socialist twit, a bigot and a racist, a muslim sympathiser, open boarders cut and run pantie waist ,a liar and a treasonous race baiting dork garage.
Other than that he is a fine little asshat.
