Here's the real Obama, Divider-in-Chief:

VIDEO: Obama speech praises Wright, attacks feds on Katrina | The Daily Caller

Not only is this racially divisive garbage wrong, Obama is factually wrong about the Stafford Act and amount of funding sent to N.O. vs. NY.

From the link:
"By January of 2007, six months before Obama’s Hampton speech, the federal government had sent at least $110 billion to areas damaged by Katrina. Compare this to the mere $20 billion that the Bush administration pledged to New York City after Sept. 11.
Moreover, the federal government did at times waive the Stafford Act during its reconstruction efforts. On May 25, 2007, just weeks before the speech, the Bush administration sent an additional $6.9 billion to Katrina-affected areas with no strings attached.
As a sitting United States Senator, Obama must have been aware of this. And yet he spent 36 minutes at the pulpit telling a mostly black audience that the U.S. government doesn’t like them because they’re black."

And.....under the Obama "recovery" household income in the black community has fallen 11% vs. the overall household income decline at 8%. hmmm?
