Hutchinson on Obama: Stop Him Before He Talks About Wright Again!

Wow! Unbelievable comments about Obama from folks who never supported him anyway. Most are quoting or half quoting what they heard someone else say and the others are... well you know what I'm saying. Wright was definitely wrong, but he and his congregation are not joined at the hip. Sunday is but one day in a week and we don't all go to church every Sunday. I know many of you can identify with that. When we marry, we do so for better or worse, to death do us part. Unlike Sunday, it's a 24-7 event. But then something happens. The person we thought we knew and loved, changes over time; sometimes 20 years. We try to deny it, but then there is that last straw, and we divorce them because we recognize that we don't have the same values and beliefs anymore, if ever, and we certainly don't want to be like them or support them going forward. Life happens, but who the heck is Hutchinson? We would be better served by your focusing on the important issues in this great political race. The circus has left town. Let's move on.

QUICK!... Someone give Oblahma a BIGGER PEDAL!! He is backpaddling so quick he just can't get away quick enough! LOL!!

Oblahma, Time to get away???

How about ANOTHER VACATION with a ONE-WAY ticket that is...oh, and don't forget Michelle "I hate America" Oblahma!!!!

On target that Obama can't speak extemporaneously, handle news conferences or think on his feet.

The whole episode proves he's just a scripted candidate.

So much for those ridiculous comparisons to Jack Kennedy. Spin goes into rinse cycle.

The people in Trinity are not going to be happy with Obama...wish someone had the guts to come forward and say"heck yes he knew about Wright's sermons, he sat in the pews 20 years!"

Sadly I think they want a black president so badly they will sit on the truth. Where is their loyalty to Rev.Wright?

Hey Jake,

Did he really think he could sweep 20 years under the rug...give me a break!

The Rev. Wright says Obama is a politician and he the Rev. is a Pastor. Could it be that Rev. Wright speaks what he believes and is therefore honest. He sees Obama's denial of having heard these sermons before as dishonest and as a Pastor can not sit back and allow the lies to continue. Obama could not and would not disown Wright untill he heard Rev. Wright call Obama a politician, the thing Obama claims not to be. Obama did not disown Rev. Wright for saying that America manufactured AIDS to kill blacks or had 911 coming to them, Obama only disowned Wright when Wright called Obama a politician. Obama did not sit in the church for 20 years and bring his kids to the church unless he agreed with the principles in the Rev. Wright sermons. Obama lies while Rev. Wright appears to be honest.

I also will vote McCain if the DNC is fool enough to nominate Obama.
HILLARY 08

Obama did the right thing, reinforcing my support for his candidacy.

One question for us to judge and to be judged:

Had Obama not ran for presidency, do you *honestly* think he would condemn Rev. Wright?

Who is Hutchinson and why are you quoting him? He thinks Obama was too emotional, Glen Reynolds said he was too reserved and "lawyerly" and all this only matters because it saves the press from having to learn economics.

He is my spiritual advisor... he's not my spiritual advisor. I can't disown him... I can disown him. He is the black community (and therefore can't be disowned)... he isn't the black community.

He is going to pay a terrible but deserved price for going along with the angry black minister and the angry black wife all these years. Even if we take him at his word that it didn't poison him, he let his children be steeped in this environment. Oprah left the same church over disagreements with Wright. Why didn't he?

Hutchison got it right. 20 years he sat there and he's lying if he says he didn't know this man's views. This was a transparent political move after a night of polling to see what people think. Several people from upcoming primaries report being polled the night before. Obama could have said the same things at his press conference the day before and didn't - he waited till his internal polling was done and decided he had to do it or lose the election. So much for "new" politics - sounds like the same old politics from mister wet behind the ears - we don't need another novice in the white house - we've had 7 years of that already and it's been a disaster.

Beto, your 7:25:42 p.m. post says it all. We've seen how weak Obama is when it comes to confronting difficult issues. He's too insecure to even face Hillary in another debate - without moderators where he can ask her questions. What a wimp. I can't imagine him talking to "America's worst enemies" as he's vowed to do without pre-conditions or negotiations.

Does he think this primary is hard work? Does he think being POTUS is going to be easier than this? He'll be curled up in a fetal position in a corner!

Obama singled out several statements of Wright's to condemn:

The AIDS thing, which he had to have heard before through the snippets - and there was no way to "take out of context".

His praise of Farrakhan - who has not only endorsed Obama, but Obama returned the favor when he attended the Million Man March with Wright.

Wright's equating U.S. war efforts with terrorism - which he couldn't possibly have missed in Wright's God d*mn America sermon, unless he was too irresponsible to listen to that sermon in full to know the facts behind the sound bites.

Obama knows very well who Wright is and where he stands on African American and world issues. He has called him his spiritual mentor and stated that he consults him before making major political moves.

Say what you will about Wright; he says what he means and stands behind his words. Obama is just another politician, and we now see without a doubt that he'll say and do anything to get elected.

Don't worry though; he and Wright will kiss and make up should Obama take the White House with Michelle as mediator. Then they can work together to advance their African American, African and anti-Israel agendas.

Senator Obama sat in a church for 20 years with deaf ears and closed eyes and did not know until now what was going on. How can he be considered for one minute as a presidential candidate?
I consider this just another BIG LIE of Obama. This man should step out of the political spot light now but apologize to all his supporters first.

America has the attention span of a moth. LOok at the purty light. People were forgetting about Wright even while they were still thinking about him.

A candidate makes up a story about being under sniper fire and no one remembers it today.

People don't take ministers seriously in this country. We're not deeply religious. In fact, our whole country is founded on religious tolerance. Our first settlers were religious outcasts of England. Throw in some Quakers, Catholics, Calvinists, jesuits, Anabaptists, Lutherans etc. (as early as mid 1600s) and you've got people who learned not to care what their neighbor's minister was saying.

Today is no different. Americans don't care about what some minister says, even a would-be president's. That's why Wright didn't hurt Obama before and won't hurt him now. All the wacky ministers on the right, no one cares. Every year they come out and lament God punishing the U.S. and then support the Republicans -- no one cares.

The only people who care about Wright are those with an agenda and those in the media. I talk to people in all walks of life - people don't care. The polls have shown people don't care.

Show me a Republican talking about Wright and I'll show you someone who doesn't want to talk about the president going down as the worst in U.S. history, who nearly doubled the national debt, sent 4000 blue-collar boys(and girls) off to die in the desert for WMDs that never existed, devalued the dollar, increased the trade deficit, watched 50million American men women and children go without medical care, passed a law making it harder for working folks to declare bankruptcy, ignored the intelligence warnings the month before 9/11, made it harder to unionize, changed regulations to make more people "managers" not subject to overtime pay, ruined our reputation in the world, let Bin Laden live the pastoral life in peace while we fought a non-enemy in Iraq, trampled the constitution with illegal invasion of the privacy of US citizens, instituted torture of fellow human beings, and generally waged a presidency of disinformation, deceit, arrogance, and dishonest.

This is total David Axelrod in mega political damage motion! What a great set up. Send Wright around on a brief and outrageous press tour, conveniently when Obama's numbers are tanking, but a full week before the primary, and then Obama can denounce or renounce or disown the Wright reverend without alienating all the black voters! Did it work? Is this another hoodwinked and bamboozled moment? Wow. When Obama is president, life in the White House will be who's next to get thrown under the bus!

What do Hillary Clinton, George Bush and John McCain have in common?

This axis of irresponsibility are are peddling deceptive remedies to the Gas Price Problem.

Bush says stupid stuff that is demonstratively false about ANWAR saving the day. This ain't the worst of it. It is bad enough that he can look at the camera with a straight face and play the anwar nonsense to the voters. The worst of it is that he expects the you are stupid enough to fall for it. Hardcore disrespect.

Enter Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Both Hillary and John take up the Bush Stupidity Challenge. They both expect alotta you to fall for it, too. These two are staying the course, I'd say.

But apparently the 3 Panderers are the Grownups. Bush is just their leader and friend .... and a loser that leads the way.

Obama has been, is, and always be a figment of the liberal press's imagination. Chrissy Matthews is today
panicked that the balloon has popped.
So are all the pundits on NBC, and
most on CNN....just livid that their
anointed appears to be in over his
head, is a piker against the Clinton
machine....and absent an arena of
thousands of followers, is a very
average politico. My, how the mighty
have fallen. Soon we'll be told what
a fantastic candidate Hillary was,
and IS and deserves to beat McCain
with a paddle!

Obama is what this country needs, not the has been Clintons that feel this presidency is owed to them
