Political Punch

Yes, these reprints are the decision
of lunatic Rev. Wright and not Obama.

Here is the problem;

- Obama is running for president by
that juncture; 7/07

- He therefore learns of this garbage
quickly. Somebody alerts him. He emails
a Jewish organization with renouncement
of the pro-terror literature.

- Wright remains on his campaign
advisory commitee, NO PROBLEM!

Why did Barack Obama choose a spiritual advisor/mentor who agrees with the world view and teaching of James Cone and Black Liberation Theology?

Why didn't Barack Obama choose a spiritual advisor/mentor who agrees with the world view and teaching of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.? Rev. King warned against "drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."

There's a balanced piece of reporting on Rev Wright today in the Christian Science Monitor. Even if the name of the paper implies Bible Belt - they are highly respected - especially for their unbiased reporting. (It was one of the reasons they were able to save a string reporter in Iraq who was held hostage a couple years ago.) It won't influence people who want to hate and want to hate him - or the journalists who feel that their job is to fuel that fire of hatred - but it's a good piece. I'm old. I remember when journalists tried to report both sides of a story.

Mahesh,
Great post. Thank you, brother.

And Obama keeps trying to "explain" this guy to us. Lord help us.

Obama was understandably outraged by Don Imus's disgusting comments last year. I can't believe that he didn't once consider how hypocritical his disdain was when he continued to embrace his own racist pastor. There's something missing in his character because I don't see how he continues to make distinctions.

I'm married to an Italian from a wonderful family. Italians have a lot of pride and they don't forget slights readily.

It's one thing when a crazy, anti-american minister assaults and blames the "white race" at large,- it just sounds crazy and stupid. But it feels very differently when his targets are italians, jews, and other ethnic groups - the melting pot- that we're all proud of and that experienced their own struggles in the early part of the 20th century.

A hypothetical and very meaningful question is:

Had Obama not ran for president, would he denounce Wright (somewhat like now)?

Has Obama instructed his two daughters not to read Trumpet Newsmagazine and the website of the church?

Kravitz,

The media has given Obama a free ride.

I see the obsession with Wright as masking true feelings of racism. Wright is a vehicle to safely call Obama an brainless black without actually having to call him the N word. If the press could still do it, that's the term they'd obviously use. There needs to be one standard for judging religion in the lives of our candidates. Either Hillary Clinton and John McCain need to be brought up to this standard of scrutiny, or the subject must be dropped. I've seen no endless looping or loopy revisiting of controversial comments by Rod Parley, John Hagee, Tim ($$$) LaHaye, or Douglas Coe. So the standard is not the same.

Or the culture of the reporters is not the same as Obama. If not mistaken, the press corps is mostly white. Fewer, if any of those reporters would have had exposure to black churches or the neighborhoods of those churches. So the titilation of the reporter is stronger with comments like Wright made, and less so to the comments Hagee has made.

Put another way, I don't see why you still hear "Brown Sugar" or "Some Girls" by the Rolling Stones, or "Island Girl" by Elton John on the radio. Listen a little closer - you may not hear what I hear in those moneymakers.

There is only one way I will vote for Obama....

IF HE SUPPORTS A REVOTE IN FLORIDA/MICHIGAN.

and of course HOWARD DEAN WOULDN'T CARE WHAT A PASTOR SAYS BECAUSE HE'S AN EXTREME LIBERAL.

Senotor Obama wake up this is not about RACE this is about HATE the devil wants us to be offended that what he operates on .He wants us to feel victimized and oppressed. You made a statement that some black people still feel the pain and anger.One thing you did do is make me appreciate my pastor and my church we can all wallow in being victimized for one thing or another if that is what we choose to do.There are all kinds of predjudices my pastor tells us we are to go out and lead people to Jesus regardless of color we are to bring the prostitutes,drug addicts to our church and let the LOVE OF GOD FLOW THRU US not spew hate..I pray for all those who have been blinded by this doctrine that they will discover a church like mine ....

How many white posters want to be held accountable for every racist thing one of THEIR friends have said? Obama is far more qualified to be president than McCain: an ignorant man who can't tell Sunni from Shiite muslims, and who by his own admission knows nothing about the economy. Don't destroy this country with four more years of Republican lunacy in the White House!!

I hope there are a lot of people out there that believe in the power of prayer because everyone who believes in the power of prayer should start praying now..for our nation.Pray that the truth will be revealed and that those voters who cannot see the truth,God will reveal it to them..I heard Howard Dean say on CNN that people don't care what someones pastor says..He's wrong again thats why he is not president..Most of our country does care..Its what we must care about the most..I take offense to the typical white person comment because I raised my children to not judge a person by the color of their skin.We would defend any person that was being oppressed or mistreated regardless of color.I attend a church that is equally mixed and sit under a pastor that remind us that we are all brother and sisters in Christ and that you cannot be a christian and hate your brother.If God is not mostimportant our nation is lost...

Tell obama to stop copying hillary clinton's economic plans then we will have something to compare and/or decide when he is going start withdrawing from Iraq. Ever since the Samantha Power gaff he doesn't have a date anymore.

What are Wright's views on Israel?

He should come out of hiding and say what he stands for.

P.S. I hope he doesn't compare himself to Jesus.

How was Hillary and/or Bill supposed to know this guy agrees with ANTI-ISRAEL ORGANIZATIONS and WROTE HATEFUL THINGS TOWARD ITALIANS?

OBAMA should have cut ties with him five years before deciding to run for President!

But he stayed because he didn't want to get verbally attacked like Oprah did.

drop out hillary!!!!!!

Bill invited Jeremiah Wright to the White House when it served his political purposes...now Clinton Hate Squad bash him when it serves their political purposes.

proves HILLARY CANT BE TRUSTED

she is a pathological liar

The person out of their comfort zone appeared to be Whoopie Goldberg. Why?

When Clinton made a mistake, she owned up to it. When Barack makes a mistake, he gives a speech about being misunderstood. Now that is 'victim mentality' in a knutshell.

Dean and Pelosi can burn down every house from Pennsylvania Avenue to the Yellow Brick Road. Obama cannot win the general election.

Obama joined this church on his own in his 20's. He then stayed in this church for 20 years. The Pastor is his mentor.

To say that he was oblivious to the Wright's anti-American teachings is just not believable. Even after he knew of the 911 comment...even after he disinvited Wright to his campaign kickoff...he still put him on his campaign.

To say that he would have left the Church if his Pastor hadn't retired is not believable.

Obama has convinced most of the media that this is about race...while Wright has said some dispicable things about race and nationalities....the problem for Obama is that his Pastor is un-American.

"I am not interested in having, in wallowing in a, lengthy conversation about race...."
-Barack Obama,
ABC World News

Clinton supports that is our vindication. His "greatest speech ever, let's start a discourse on race" was just to save himself.

This is so STUPID. Until you have proof that Obama himself made statements similiar to what Reverend Wright made then the media have no grounds on focusing on this "controversy".

why didn't you mention all of Sen Obama's comments - that if he had heard and read all of these and Wright had not been retiring he WOULD HAVE left the Church. He has clearly and repeatedly denounced those types of comments, and they are not reflective of his opinions and beliefs. end of story. let's move on to the real issues.

What does Mr. Hope has to say about these newsletters? Is he claiming that he did not know about these too? If so, then he is the most ignorant man in this planet.

"I am not interested in having, in wallowing in a, lengthy conversation about race. What I was trying to do in the speech was point out that we often use racial divisions, or politicians also often use racial divisions, as a way of ignoring the common problems like terrorism, or the foreclosure crisis. And so, my argument is not that we should focus obsessively on race. My argument is, we should acknowledge the dangers of racial division. Precisely in order to pivot and focus on those problems that we all have as common Americans."- Barack Obama

Obama doesn't want to have a "race" discourse!

So Obama "didnt know" about the racist flyers, didn't know about his BFF Wright's racist views or awarding Farakkhan a liferime achievement award, didn't know , didn't know...
I guess if he does get the nod, instead of "I don't recall" from our so called "leaders" the meme will be they "didn't know"
If he "didn't know" his pal was a racist and his church was racist then he is far too unaware of things to be President. I guess he "didn't know" Rezco was a Syrian thug backed by an Iraqui thug either. The man LIED straight faced to the American public on TV and his minions harp on Hillary's misremembering the exact situation in Tuzla over a decade ago? She DID participate and WAS there in Bosnia, where was Barack?
Oh, that's right he has ZERO fireign policy experience.
He is a wolf in sheeps clothing and lies when the truth would serve him better but his Obamabots give him a pass no matter how much he lies and hides the facts about his financial supporters and his shady friends.
Wake up people, Obama is a fraud. He isn't the second coming like you think he is. He is dividing our country already! Uniter? HA HA

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

Obama is getting creamed by the Rev. Wright revelations, even though Democratic primary voters aren't paying attention. It will be quite different in the general, as most of us who deal in the world of political reality know. Obviously, Obama watched what Clinton did a couple of days ago. So he's decided to play a very simple game. It's called Follow the Leader. Oh, and for you Obama fans, your guy isn't the one leading. Because after sitting in the pews of Trinity for 20 years, admitting he'd heard some of Wright's screeds, after he said he didn't, Barack Obama still couldn't figure out the right thing to do until Clinton demonstrated it for him a couple of days ago.

So if you're one of those people buying his latest "Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church," well, then I've got a country you can buy cheap. It's on sale for suckers.

Please stop deceiving the voters with the unifier and brilliant line. Obama is neither. He defends and stands by his low class, hate spewing, anti-american, unpatriotic, terrorist supporter uncle, mentor, good friend Wright. No wonder Wright officiated the wedding, Michelle and Barack are perfect for each other, two people that should be expelled from the country.

Al Gore doesn't even like POLITICS!

He said his passion is the environment and that is why he is not RUNNING or did not run this year!

I rather have a President who had an affair(clinton or jfk) than a morally perfect president who has failed our nation(bush)!

Bill's affair hurt America. This country was distracted from some very important issues. Impeachment was a huge drama.

The Clintons were selfish. They should have resigned. Then Al Gore would have been President.

Sally, that was tasteless and ruthless. I'd expect that from a Republican, not a fellow Democrat. Bill cheating on Hillary didn't hurt anyone except Hillary.Wright is teaching African Americans and others to hate their country.

I stand by my guilt by association comment. I don't approve of infidelity to your spouse. That is a betrayal. I don't approve of lying under oath. That is criminal.

So Hillary stood by and watched it all happen. If she did not leave, is she then guilty of Bill's sins because not leaving meant she approved of her husband?

Clearly Reverend Wright is a sinner. He falls short of the Glory of the Lord. But should Obama be tainted by another man's wrongdoings?

Sally - I hope you never feel the pain of being cheated on by another and then blamed by others for an action beyond your control. In any case, he may be a cheater but he was one of the greatest Presidents in history and stands heads above anyone like Wright. I dont judge Hillary for Bill's actions. I do judge her for her own as a US Senator... not as a wife. I dont judge Obama as a US Senator because of Wright, but I do judge Obama because of his own actions to continue to be a member of, give money to, and defend a church and its pastors (Wright is still a pastor with TUCC.) as they teach and promote black separatism and support ethnic cleansing and terrorism. These issues alone are inappropriate for any US Senator to support both with his own money and his failure to file charges of sedition.

If people were responsible for the actions of other people, then Hillary is responsible for having sex with Monica.

She didn't leave Bill, so Hillary must have approved, right?

Does guilt by association make any sense to you?

Dear Obama True Believers, your candidate is toast. And all the deflection to Hillary or equivocation of institutionalized racism is getting you no new votes. I believe I have the 'garlic noses' constituency backing me up on that one today.

Speaking of institutionalized racism, what about minority scholarships I and every other white person in America are ineligble for, or minority job fairs sponsored by major corporations I am shut out of because of the color of my skin? Is THAT what MLK had in mind in "I Have A Dream"?

If you want to take it to the next level, how was what happened at Duke LAST YEAR any different from what happened at Scottsboro 80 years ago?

Young men accused of raping a woman of a different race, a racial lynch mob screaming for blood before the press ink is even dry, and a corrupt prosecutor who just might have sent them all to prison for the rest of their lives.

Yet outside of Nifong, all the racebaiters and hatemongers who stoked the flames to the sky, like Sharpton, Jackson and the 88 Duke professors who signed a Proclamation of Gulit before the jury was even picked, got to walk away scott-free in serach of fresh white game. THAT'S JUSTICE???

Lastly, I grew up poor, like millions of other whites, in a mean mixed-raced urban housing project. I could tell you horror stories of the black racism I've encountered, including a near-stabbing because of my skin color ONLY! I've grown up in as close to the 'black experience' as any white boy ever could.

There's plenty of grievances to go around if you want to go down that road. I choose not to. I observe, remember and move on with my life, chalking it up the fact that a large contingent of the population will always despise me for my skin color no matter what. Like Wright, for example.

Obama has refused to remove the Wright albatross from around his neck, and that is what will sink him in the general election with whites, Jews, veterans, the families of 9/11 victims and now Italians. And all the flowery speeches in the world will not make us forget that he continues to call this racist anti-American head case his spiritual mentor. Personally, I don't see the spirituality in him.

Obama's Titanic of a campaign has run full speed into the Wright iceberg, and he refuses to pull back even as he is sinking. Saying that he would have disowned him when he still refuses to to this day is disingenuous at best.

Maybe it's time for him to go back to Chicago. He will be more than welcome to attend all the hate speech sermons he likes. But not as President. My biggest question at this point is, why does the black community in America continue to honor blatant in-your-face racists like 'Tawana Brawley' Sharpton, 'Hymietown' Jackson and 'US of KKK-A' Wright with the position and title of Reverend? I see nothing holy in ANY of them!

1exnew - I think he would be more likely suspected of sedition. People have been found guilty of that for far less than we have already seen from Wright. Perhaps there are charges pending? I feel sure this is not being overlooked by the RNC and the current administration even though I despise the RNC.

Since he's advocating violent overthrow of the government, why has Wright not been deported?

Wright is about to move to a 10,340-square-foot, four-bedroom home in suburban Chicago, currently under construction in a gated community. Valued at $1.6M with an attached $10M line of credit for Wright's use. All part of his retirement package. The law does not require the church to stipulate what the money is used for of course. It will be interesting to see if there are ties to Obama and Rezko on this one as well. TUCC has an 8000 member congregation in a very poor and destitute community. I guess they don't see any good reason to help the people with all these riches they have taken from them? Is Wright another Jim Baker?

Once again the ugly head of double standards raises its head! How many of you on this board who have racist family members, neighbors and friends are willing to distance yourself from them? Are you guilty by association?

I once had a coworker who was man enough to admit tht he had a racist grandmother who was a card carrying member of the Klux Klux Klan. However, it was pretty obvious to me that his grandmother had little infuence on him and his views about the races. That's how we were able to become good friends, and have a good working relationship. I think it is a good thing to have open discussions about race in this country and to have civil discussions at that - however, he who is without sin should go ahead and cast the first stone! I challenge you to examine Senator Obama's record, his policies, and his character. Also, Rev. Wright is not in this presidential race. I find it odd that the media has lately spent more time on Rev. Wright's messages than Senator Obama's.

For you overzealous patriots, how dare you villify a man who has served in not 1 but 2 branches of the armed services in this country. (Rev. Wright).

I support Senator Obama for the presidency, and if some of you can get past your hangups, you may probably do the same. He is a unifier and brilliant mind - just the kind of change that's needed for this country in the 21st century. Surey, no other candidate in the race today can do that.

One more thing - be mindful of where you get your information from. Is it from the new faces of affirmative action (Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh)? Neither finished college or studied journalism. Sean has a high school diploma, and Rush flunked out in his first year in college. Their bios attest to that. What skills do they have? Can they really do anything else but sling mud, and spin and twist truths? Their jobs depend on "divisive tactics" so no one will notice their lack of preparedness for journalistic commentary. Think about it.

And the hits keep on coming.

What I don't understand is, if we didn't try to understand Falwell's outlandish comments...why should be have to understand Wright's?

It seems like a double standard there...I personally am not going to try to understand the crazy rantings of a preacher with too many screws loose.

I always donate 20 grand to churches that I don't agree with.

Don't forget Wright is the CEO of Trumpet Magazine, TUCC's mag, and they are letting him have a TUCC sponsored radio ministry. Obama clearly supports TUCC beliefs with his money per his tax returns. I am sure there is more coming as the RNC has been feeding the media on this issue for a year. They will as always have it timed for the GE.

He didn't leave that church because when oprah did wright preached against.

Obama's arrogance is blinding him into seeing that all of this has diminished his chance of winning to zero.

Wright's not a racist, just his sermons are.

First day in office he'd probably take down Lincoln's portrait and put up Wright's.

would've, Could've but didn't Obama, you are a work of art.

I guess it's time for another lecture....uh..I meant speech.

Exactly; Trinity Church and Reverend Wright-the Obama comfort zone. YIKES!

why did obama say the following in north carolina wednesday (as reported by the new york times on thursday):

THERE ARE A LOT OF JEWISH PEOPLE WHO ARE AS MORAL OR MORE MORAL THAN I AM

Hey at least he's an equal opportunity racist.

Is Pelosi offended? She is an Italian American.

These elections have become a circus. I gotta blame all candidates for it, including the party itself. If they don't get their act together, the Democratic party can for sure see a lot of people getting tired of them and switching. Obama needs to quit, he's not presidential material .How could you defend Wright? Have you not listened to the voters and what they think of all of this? It looks to me like you are ignoring them and disregarding their opinions.

What I really meant was ______ (fill in the blank)

He seems to speak in hypotheticals a lot. He opposed the war even though he did not have the responsibility to vote for it. He would have left the church had Rev. Wright stayed. When is he going to have a consistent position on this issue or is he dragging it out on purpose?

And your judgment takes another plunge Obama. Seems like your mentor, uncle, close friend, screwed it up again. Pretty soon he will hate the whole world except African Americans. This election is in a pretty sad state, here we are dealing with a guy that hardly has experience in office, lying his way to the White House, going public against corporation money, but meanwhile he's getting it. And for the last 3 weeks articles after articles come out with Wrights garbage. Obama gives a we have a problem with race, but does nothing to help it, instead leave people more divided. Obama you really need to fire all those advisors that are telling you lies about you winning. YOU ARE UNELECTABLE.

He would still be attending sermons and Wright would still be the pastor, if his feet weren't held to the fire. What a coward. He should give a speech on what knows best....cowardice

"Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church."

So, as he was denouncing and rejecting Rev. Wright's controversial statements in his speech LAST week, he is now proclaiming THIS week that he would have left the church? Has he learned something new between then and now to come to the conclusion? When is he going to have a consistent statement matched by action on this issue?

He is saying this now in the same way he gave his race speech: damage control. Too little, too late.

More damage control from the Obama camp? And they want to chastise Clinton for answering a Rev. Wright related question a week after his race speech. Look who's dragging this on...not the Clinton campaign, not the MSM, but Mr. Obama himself. What kind of courage and leadership is that response? His judgment on this whole Wright thing gets exponentially worse every time he brings up the subject.

DAMAGE CONTROL CENTRAL!

RL in Illinois:

You sum it up beautifully!!

Ok. My post was just taken off. So not quite as effectively I'll sum it up. It's kinda late for articles like this. The clock is ticking. Kennedy, Kerry, Daschal(spelled wrong), especially Pelosi, decided this was over long ago. There was never any intention to count Florida or Michigan. They and the media knew about Obama's associates before the primaries. The voters did not. Obama is what he is. His voting record is terrible. Feel like the media should have printed this in detail-all the way back to Illinois.The DNC Have been gettin their ducks in a row for all the delegates and superdelegates. They want her out NOW. They don't care at all if the people don't get to vote. THEY DO NOT CARE.

THEY ALL KNEW!! FL AND MI WERE NEVER GOING TO COUNT!! I WANT A NEW PARTY!!

Folks, get a load of this:

Obama is now claiming he was going to leave the church!

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=4533416

LMAO!!

Now that is a doozy!! After 20 years and the big race speech and refusal to leave the church, now that Hillary Clinton is on the record saying that if Wright had been her Pastor, she would have left the church, now Obama has the audacity to say that he was going to leave the church if Wright had not retired? OMG, that is rich!! Obama thinks he can sling more of his BS but America is not going to buy that load of crap from Obama!

And Wright is still listed as the Senior Pator at Trinity, and the current Pastor has been seen in the videos whooping it up with Jeremiah Wright during his hate speech fro the pulpit. And last time I checked, I haven't heard of any apolgy or denouncement by Jeremiah Wright of his own hate speech from the pulpit.

How can Obama now make such a claim with a straight face?

Obama can't be trusted at all!

Sorry I posted two very similar posts, I did not see my first post where I expected and wrote something very similar. Also, I am not the smartest person, and though I do have a college degree I would never insult anyone who did not. Anyway, I want to know when it became okay to be racist one way or the other. Usually people get up in arms. Obama people attack hard when any statement can be construed as having some hidden meaning--but we are supposed to ignore the fact that
Barack's mentor is really racist??? Come on you cannot have it both ways. People have always rationalized things that are wrong...and it still is not right.

The news is basically telling us this thing is over when it really is very close. I really resent that the news is so one-sided. I thought the media was supposed to be somewhat objective. I would like Hillary to get the nomination but according to all these supposes experts the math is impossible. Give me a break, the candidate who wins will win because of super delegates and they are supposed to vote for the stronger candidate. Just because Obama wins unfair caucuses, (and dems look at what happened in Texas where Hillary won the primary but lost the caucus), a bunch of small states, and only has the popular vote because Florida and Michigan do not count, how fair is that? If you take all that into consideration, it is a very, very close race. Sorry so long winded, personally cannot stand essay type posts, but I am really upset with this process.

On "Race for the White House with David Gregory" (MSNBC), a finally witness some folks in the MSM being realistic about this race:

RACHEL MADDOW: "The real realistic way to put this is that neither candidate can win with the remaining state-based contest. Neither candidate can win without the superdelegates. The question for Democrats is not whether or not they want the superdelegates to decide this, the superdelegates are going to decide this, gross as that may seem to a lot of Democratic voters. And so therefore we should stop worrying about the ethics of that."

JOE SCARBOROUGH: "Let me tell you what we love to do. We in the media love to tell everybody which we have been telling everybody for months that the numbers don‘t add up for Hillary Clinton...Well, guess what, the numbers don‘t add up for Barack Obama but we don‘t tell that side of the story, do we?...The superdelegates are the rules of the Democratic Party...And they can go any way they want."

Harko, if we have learned anything this election cycle it is that the polls are way off. Why would I believe polls by media outlets that support Obama? And as a Clinton supporter I would not vote for Mccain but I may vote for Nader. Being from Florida why would I vote for someone who is working so hard to keep my vote from counting?

From Trinity United Church of Christ's 10-point Vision:

10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

I don't think a 1.6 million dollar home paid for by the church's members is striving toward economic parity (unless they ALL get one, I suppose).

Hillary people, listen to your girl:

(from CNN)

Clinton was asked by a questioner in the audience here what she would tell frustrated Democrats who might consider voting for McCain in the general election out of spite.

“Please think through this decision,” Clinton said, laughing and emphasizing the word “please.”

“It is not a wise decision for yourself or your country.”

The crowd applauded loudly.

A Gallup poll released this week indicated that 28 percent of Clinton's supporters would back McCain should the New York senator lose her quest for the Democratic nomination.

That compares to the 19 percent of Obama supporters who say they will favor McCain should Clinton be the party’s nominee.

“First of all, every time you have a vigorous contest like we are having in this primary election people get intense,” she continued. “You know, Sen. Obama has intense support. I have intense support.”

Clinton stressed that there are “significant” differences between her and Obama, but said “those differences pale to the differences between us and Sen. McCain.”

“I intend to do everything I can to make sure we have a unified Democratic party,” she said. “When this contest is over and we have a nominee, we’re going to close ranks, we’re going to be united.”

Countallthevotes, that's to good to be true. Next thing you know we will find out he has a girlfriend.

P.S. I love you name, I am from Florida.

How dense can someone be to stay for 20 LONG YEARS and not know the tone and vison of his church? Why would anyone feel confident having someone so slow for a president?

Obama on the "view" What a joke. The only reason Pastor Wright retired is because Obama asked him to step down for the good of his campaign. These two are close as relatives and talk every day.
Obama can lie and say what he would have done, but it's just like his vote on the Iraq war, He didn't have one. It's so easy to sit there and throw out hypotheticals, after all, isn't that what his entire campaign is based on?

“Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn’t have felt comfortable staying at the church,” Obama said Thursday during a taping of the ABC talk show, “The View.” The interview will be broadcast Friday.

Obama's pastor will live in a million dollar home given byhis church for his retirement. where are the sermons about Black in poverty, Black has no opportunity.. and some bitterness of yesteryears. On the other hand, Obama has been blin and deaf when he goes to his church. If we are going to believe him, we are imagining an Obama stiff and callous sitting in the pews.. walking like zombie when he goes across the bulletin board and becomes illiterate, not able to read of the newsletter. How many times he is going to insult the Americans... this pattern of making lies are so blatant now in the face of the Americans. For some decency, Obama should be accountable for all his acts and words and voters should speak their mind in the polls. It is already sickening to hear Obama's voice or make a speech again because somewhere and between the lines we are being duped and he continued doing it. Why can't he say that he made a mistake of choosing his pastor.. now that is the end of the story.. so he can fix his credibility problem. The problem is he is bound and hostage to his own race that sacrificed his reputation for the sake of standing behind his pastor and his church( to be accepted by pro Black community) because his being bi racial is a hindrance to being called the first Black president when he is not pure Black. Somehow, he must choose and stand what he really believes. The irony is he is campaigning to bring people together and then he can not bring himself together. Let us just pray for him.. so light will shine on his mind and free himself from the bondage.

Looks like the people who attend that church have been hoodwinked by a professional con-man. I guess he didn't "damn America" enough to accept millions of dollars. The American dream come true.

I agree Christine. Right now Fox and ABC are much more fair in reporting , but forget about CNN, & MSNBC, they are bought and paid for by Obama.

Christine,

You are right; the photo is there with the caption:
