Political Punch

Has anyone here read books by Rev James Cone; Rev wrights black theological mentor? If you haven’t read Rev. James Cone’s books to find out what Rev. Wright believes, preaches and his church scrubbed from his web site. Obama POTUS and Rev. Wright Vice President what a horrible thought. Oh did anyone else see the Los Angeles Times article about Illinois state Senator Obama laundering money $112,000 salary Obama received from a political supporter Robert Blackwell through Obama's law firm to hide the fact it came from Robert Blackwell who received political monetary favors from Obama totaling $320,000 in Illinois State Grants. Obama committed a crime that is illegal Obama supporters, the DNC and Super-delegates. Obama will eventually be indicted and charged with this crime and others. The DNC, Obama supporters and Super-delegates are giving the election to McCain if Obama is the Democratic Nominee for President. It's time for Obama to quit before he gets arrested. The people of the Democratic Party, the DNC and Super-delegates need to unite, vote and support Hillary Clinton for President. Go to www.hillaryclinton.com read her speeches and solutions for real changes that will benefit all American's. Make donations of your time, phone calls, go door to door and give money generously to her campaign. Hillary has solutions for real substantial changes that will benefit all the people of the USA. www.hillaryclinton.com donate and vote for Hillary.

The coverage of Rev. Wright and his relationship to Sen. Obama is a disgrace to the American people and demostrates the sorry state to which the media has sunk. The sad part is that the whole world is watching America's media attempt to destroy and divide the voters on the basis of race and fear, rather than reporting the candidates' positions on the important issues with which we are confronted like health care, the housing crisis, and soaring gas prices. Fortunately, your lies and slants have been exposed with Rev Wright's interview with Bill Moyers (as a journalist, he gets an "A"!), so now we see a well educated former Marine filled with courage, honesty, and love for all.

You should all return to school and relearn how to report the news, objectively. We Americans are not as close minded and fearful as you think we are.

We have become people who do not realize that we do not shape our own thoughts. Consider the source of the early reporting of this story. The whole world has become a stage and we are all at home voting people off the stage like viewers of a reality show. The media picks the participants and we we only view them as they have been presented to us. 30 years of pastoring a church, do people believe that nearly 8000 people would congregate to hear about hating the country. People have been able to see past this type of distraction because they would like myself want to be one country underneath the surface. I would like to feel like someone can address all people in this country sincerely from a place of love based on diverse experiences. I want to look at the President and see all of us. I attended a town hall meeting and sat with a group of diverse people and we were all excited about the possibility of people improving their lives, even people who are statistically written off or have a jail cell waiting for them at birth but not a grade school, middle school, high school or college education waiting for them. I want those people to have a chance. Our leadership has not understood those people. Rev. Jeremiah Wright is simply being paraded around as media fodder and campaign fodder based on fear and preying on fear of others by those who control the media. I hope that his Church continues to reach out to that commmunity after he retires through a new generation with different experiences than his. How much good has he encouraged in over 30 years while we were not seeking to poke a stick in his eye to encourage doubt about a candidate for presidency. What has he been doing all of these years while we were not judging him. Do you really think these people at his church have existed on hate? I am so glad that I know better and that because of my own experiences I am not shaping my views on slanted media, but from my own diverse experiences and desire to be viewed only as I am, a hard working Ameican who happens to be Black. I and so many people like me continue to try and understand the world as a whole so that we can create a world where we feel like we all feel like we fit and not have to sometimes feel like we are misunderstood. The future generation will be better if they do not allow the internet and media shape their existence. They have an opportunity to create on America and show us how we have hurt each other by words we said and words that we wouldn't say.

The people who were being discriminated against also considered themselves Christians and sat in Church on Sunday and met at the Church for meetings to overcome the segregated, angry and punitive world they existed in based simply on the color of their skin. Rev. Wright is coming from that era. That is his experience in life. He is not afraid to express his discontent with this country because if they had not have done it then, we would have not won equal rights when we did through the civil rights movement. The problem with Rev. Wright is that he has to progress to now, it is not helpful to make controversial statements to make his point. People should be thankful that he has spent over 30 years trying to help a community where there is drugs, poverty and crime. That message did not end with that one statement that has been looped by the media, but the emphasis was placed on that statement to scare people and get them to react the way that people have reacted. There are people in this country who are born into hereditary generational poverty and exist purely as a statistic for their entire existence. The odds are greater for them to go to prison or become a product of their environment. What is the problem and we often say pull yourself up by your own boot straps. Some people are born with no boots and no hope and are doomed to be one statistic or another. It is sad and painful. I think some people feel better about it by ignoring it or fighting it indirectly. That is why some of the people in our country are angry at Rev. Wright. Not because he served in the Military anf deducated himself to helping the people in a poor community. Do people really believe people will congregate on Sunday to hear evil by the thousands. That message is one of many messages and that one statement has been played as much as possible. It does not end there, but that is where people want it to end. I think the Reverend has learned as he approaches retirement that he himself has done a lot of good, but sometimes one statement that could be said in many different ways would have being saying the same thing and people would actually think about what he is saying and not villanize him. He now has to speak about that because he is now on the stage for all America. This is an opportunity for people to at least try to understand other people. But regardless of what he says, the people who have been dreaming of this moment will speak every chance they get to express their own anger.

Most of these post are disheartening and based on negative emotions. I know because I am finally posting because my emotions have gotten the best of me by reading how people really feel about other people. It has very little to do with Barack Obama or Rev. Wright. The people who post ignorant words about Reverend Wright are posting based on their life experience and own beliefs. Very often people equate patriotism to millitary service or people who will not criticize an unjust war or people who pretend that our country is perfect and always has been. When I was growing up my mother gave me praise when I deserved it to encourage me and disciplined me when I needed it to make me a better person. The same goes for our country, we should applaud the good to encourage it and be allowed to speak the truth when it is wrong to make it better without being persecuted. When I viewed the PBS interview, I thought for sure that people could understand a man who entered a recently intergrated millitary branch has experienced racism . His experience of being confronted with the fact that a lot of people who were supporting segregation and discriminating jim crow practices in the south were in Church every Sunday and considered themselves devout Christians when he went to W. Virginia from Philadelphia

Ask yourself two hard questions.

If you went to Wright's church unannounced, would you be made to feel welcome?

And if an ordinary member of Wright's church came to your church unannounced, how would s/he be treated?

Moyers was a close associate of L. Johnson and was vital in selling the gulf of tonkin story that really got us in the vietnam war. The blood of those 50 thousand heroes on the vietnam momerial is on Mayer's hands. In Pennsylvania, Obama spent over 12millions of dollars had over 9 thousand tv ads, thousand of mailings and calls and still lost by 10 points. I noticed that many people here are saying that Obama won more states. He won the black dem voters in those states not much else. He is the BLACK candidate only.

Obama is afraid of Hillary, he refused to debate in NC and IN. The PA debate was too much for him, Obama had to answer real questions and he failed. Oprah can't protect Obama all the time.

Rev Wright should have been called out a LONG time ago. How does it make Obama "brave" now for saying it? It makes him just another politician who will say what he can to get elected.

"When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends."
Japanese Proverb

Goodbye Mr. Obama...

I thought there was a distinction between church and state. For some Americans to hold a preacher liable for his comments is naivety to a fault. He is a messanger of God's words and draws his inspiration from God and not from man. When touched or invoked, he reveals the message as it is giving to him, without distortions, without fear or favor. That is the role of a preacher which distinguishes him from a politician. Politicians are full of hope and promises. They say to the public what is pleasing to their ears. Please live the Reverend alone. Enough of your hypocrisies.

Obama is misleading.
He will say whatever he has to to win this election.
He has not been fortcoming since the beginning of this election.
How dare he expect anyone to support him as President of the United States.
Reverend Wright is a hateful man. I don't know of anyone in my whole life that would speak this way in a public arena.

How dare this man want us to understand his cruel statements about the United States and the white race.

If he were my pastor, I would have run from him.

Senator Obama wants to be President. He not only should leave Wright but also the church.

If Senator Clinton went to a church that supported the KKK and supported it, praised it and even gave donations to it would be a disgrace.

Wake up American youth. Please.

We don't want, nor indeed can we afford an affirmative-action President. The fact that things, any one of which, would normally bring any White candidate down instantly are passed over should make his affirmative-action status obvious. (Read Michelle's Princeton anti-White thesis and you will realize that she is another affirmative-action recipient. She graduated cum laude--with A's in crip courses that predominated in her major and minor--and was give two affirmative-action jobs, one in the 100 thousand+ range and the other close to 300 thousand. It's great to be given free Ivy League educations (where no professor will dare fail you if you are Black) and great jobs afterwaads! Additionally, if Obama had to wallow in the politics and ignorant attitudes of Wright's church to get elected in Illinois/Chicago, he should realize that those compromises with decency preclude his ever running for national office. (Pastors are supposed to enlighten their flocks, lead them out of darkness, not into the kind of vile ignorance Wright preaches!) THE RACE CARD IN THIS RACE IS OBAMA!--a totally unqualified man (and a leftist by his record), thinking that he can con people into voting for him just because he is Black--that they will completely put aside everyday commonsense, be browbeaten into voting for him or else be labeled racist. The country is full of qualified Blacks, but Obama is not one of them. The sad thing is that the country really need a real Democrat, someone who is not elitist and recognizes the increasingly perilous plight of the working man in America--anyone who works full time, especially at a skilled or highly responsible job, should be able to make a living in this country and have decent benefits, medical insurance and retirement. The working man used to be the Democrat base. What happened?--no one speaks up for the working man these days.
Finally, while not fully satisfied with either, I would not worry excessively with either Hillary or McCain as President.
One man's ideas with which no one has to agree--I would be satisfied if you would at least "brainstorm" some of the above.

Wright interview: (definetly taken out of context and has been in some pretty significant places in America's history including LBJ hospital visit and improving life for thousands of children)

For Obama's sake and for the sake of the rest of our country, maybe the Reverend can shut up NOW!

Its very evident that the only way to get attention is to stir up trouble. When it comes to this presidential race, it's not about Obama and Clinton. If we were only willing to tell the truth. As african americans it's always going to be a challenge, because we have to work that much harder for something in the public's eye. But let's stick to the issue's, where are the jobs, NAFTA, the Clinton's, the Millionaire's. It's a way of not having to deal with what's really wrong with our nation. So they distract the voters with who-do's. Let's stick with what's best for the nation of America, get the gas in control, bring our soldiers back home, there's alot more to worry about then some statement that somebody don't like. If we searched long enough we could definitely open up alot of mess on the othere side. GO OBAMA

Obama couldn't bring "Hope" and "Change" to his church in 20 years. What does anyone think he is going to accomplish in Washington in 4? His church seems to be a place to just make people miserable and disatisfied with their lot in life. It seems more political than religious, "Let's stir the people up!." God is all about hope, but there seems to be none at the Trinity Church.

This Black Theologian minister married Obama and baptized him and his children.

Whoa! I just can't wait to hear the prayer this man will cook up for the inauguration IF Obama actually pulls it off! THAT should be interesting!

i live in northwest indiana i don't mlk resko,ayers and i don't like obama. i going to vote for hillary or mcCain.

I think this :
The religous right got played and got us Bush and the 8 years of destruction of our prestige and economy. We the people deserved it .
This time : We have triangulation , dishonesty and pandering to the fears of everyday mostly uneducated people. We elect this : We the people deserve this .
Someone comes along and talks hope...talks about US changing OUR country ...We can get distracted by petty issues which basically boil down to race. It will show that this country is not ready to live up to its promise , not ready to move past the gutter. Not adult enough to admit its mistakes or correct them . We the people ...Will get the government we deserve... And we in the end will have noone to blame but OURSELVES. If WE dont take back our country . WE may as well just wrap it up and give it to Coorporations , Clintons and the Oil companies and go back to sleep watching American Idol while the ship that used to be the USA sinks slowly in its own ignorance while the rest of the world watches and laughs ..

WOW Dems can really be intolerant.

There are a LOT of questions about Obama that still remain to be answered. He likes to ride "the fence" with no substance. He's just an "empty suit. "

any excuse will do

Hey Clyburn..Why don't you say something about Wright's and Obama's lying bizzarre. Why because they are African Americans. You are bizarre. Grow up.

You are the one who is bizzare and a disgrace. Racial discrimination against African American has been overused and misused. Actually you are now beginning to be racial. To get away with bad comments and bad behavior you will always use the racial issue as an EXCUSE. Shut up.

Beware North Carolinians and Indianians….Obama lied and just a Politician.

this reminds me of my teacher, my parents and some mentors who were concerned about me growing up in the world.They often seemed angry by the words they used in order to get me inline. But I didn't concentrate on the anger part, because I knew that what they said was out of love and the were speaking the truth no matter the words they used.
I listened and changed my ways.
Its simple...He's right and as a young white person I can Look beyond the anger in order to receive the direction the people who love you give, you should to America.
So those of us who would rather feel offended and emotional instead of dealing with the facts of our history, you are the ones who slow down America's healing from our nasty past...
I'm not in denial! are you?

Chicago University of the communiy college for affirmative action people with black skin don't make a law professor. Hell, you could hardly call 'em legal aids.

Barack was NOT a professor as he claims. Spoken like a true politician.

Apparently, Barack never heard of the trouble "tapes" caused Nixon. Equally apparent, passing American history is not required when you go to Harvard based on the color of your skin.
Barack's Ivy league education is about as shallow as a saucer of spit.

What truth the man speaks!..A real friend always gives criticism and an immature person will ignore it although it is there to empower them by exposing there faults before someone else takes advantage of them... face the truth.
White people its hard to hear the truth but the truth sets you free as cliche as it sounds.
Grow up America and except your faults and sins in order to conquer them.
Martin Luther king gave a sermon about America too that doesn't seem much different than Mr wrights during the Civil Rights movement. Many church leaders gave the same sermon who were white to condemning slavery and they to were un popular with the majority of Americans who embraced slavery...and were they right? No!
White people have to own up to what they have done to the world and what we have done to our own citizens out of fear and economic gain and plain ole distain for human life, just because they look different.
A good councilor and often the best is the one who was once the junkie.
Separate yourselves from the bad ones and show the world you are no longer willing to have a country built on the back of fear and denial.

I'm white and hate my history as most of my peers do to, but that doesn't mean we cant write a new book, one that our generation excepts our wrongs instead of getting emotional and denying what we have done, when someone tells us how we really were...key word ' Were.
Shame is hard to deal with but don't kill the messenger! His message is key to us not repeating the nasty things we have done in the name of God.

C

Senator Obama has run his campaign as the candidate of change. To sweep this problem under the rug by making the Reverend disappear would be politics as usual and exactly what I would expect from every other candidate. The fact that Jeremiah Wright is sitting for a nationally televised interview to the surprise of every pundit is an example of how said pundits believe the american public needs to be talked down to and how different this campaign is for refusing to do so.

Every opposition candidate from city secretary to Gov. will be playing those tapes if the Dems go with Barack. Won't be a democratic dog catcher or so called democratic super delegate left in this country.
Barack sat there for 20 years and said nothing.
Nobody should be expected to put up with that kind of bullshit out of a President

Just like Obama! It is everyone's fault but his! Rev Wright slammed Whites, eurochristianity (catholics and Eoropean desendent Christians/Protestents) Italians, Jews and anyobody else he wanted too. And of course, America. His own country! And while he is slamming this country and making excuses as to why he did this, he is building a 10,000 plus square foot home for his family! He lives in a life of luxury! yeah, Rev. Wright, this country has been really bad to you! And of course, to your 20 year follower, Obama, who wants to be the AMERICAN President! Yes Sen. Obama, words do matter! So now hear ours...We are not voting for Obama!

275,000,000 people on this country and we end up with 3 idiots to choose from.

Does Wright expect us to rush out and buy his videos so we can view them in their proper context? No thank you. Truth is, he meant every word he said-all the way to the bank.

Raleigh voter......excellent post! I totally agree with you! Hillary 08 !

This is not about being responsible for what someone else says. I cannot believe that people believe that is the point of the Wright controversy. It is about Obama being a follower of his for many years, it is about certain statements in his books and it is about his lies. Obama proclaims that he is So different and is the man to elect for change...what kind of change? How will the change occur? Just utter BS

BRANDY; You have missed the whole point.

Did the Republicans pay Wright to go public now? BIG mistake for Obama's campaign.

Yes and Obama is being judged by his actions, or inactions, of not leaving that church 20 years ago.

Senator Obama can not win, not because he is black, but because he is to liberal for America. Rarely has he been asked any of the tough question which a constitutional republic requires. I am not even sure he believes the Constitution is even necessary anymore.

Laura......I think if it was a big deal about Hillary and Pastor Cole, then it would be all over the press. The media is "Pro Obama" as it is. The fact remains, Obama, out of his own mouth said that Wright was like an "uncle" to him and that he would not "disown" him.
America has seen the recordings, read the messages of Wright and his anti-American remarks. Obama gave this church $27,000 last year. Obama, does support this type of rhetoric. You are like the people you associate with, it's human nature. If Obama was planning to run for President, he should have realized this. Obama is hurting right now. The media is vetting him and I'm glad. He has been the "Pied Piper" for waaaaay to long. It looks as if he has played his last song! Hillary 08 !

Jake Tapper & ABC , Keep up the good work. We need to know more about Obama and his pastor.
If Obama wasn't in general agreement with what his Pastor was teaching he would not have attended his church for 20 yrs.
We don't need a President who will not display the US Flag as evidence of his support for our country.
The Minister made very Anti American comments,Obama won't wear the symbol of America in his lapel.
The two must be in general agreement.
We do not need this man as our President.
Not to mention the fact that he is no more than a slick politician and the most Liberal of Liberals

I think the media has finally realized that their "golden" boy, Obama, has a LOT of negatives and are now jumping ship! Look for the Super Delegates to start doing the same thing. Reverend Wright has re-surfaced and will continue to haunt Obama in Indiana and North Carolina. According to Gallup, Clinton is fast closing the gap on Obama, the GOP are running very negative ads about Obama in North Carolina, many voters in Indiana are blue collar, which Obama can not win, nor can he win the Catholic vote. I think Obama is beginning to really be vetted, not only by Clinton, but by the media, and by the GOP. If you remember, the press has been very nice to Obama over the last 15 months, its been an uphill battle for Clinton. However, she has perservered, continues to win, and you can bet the Super D's are taking notice. Heck, Obama outspent her 3 to 1 in Pennslyvania, and Clinton still won. I think we better start getting used to the idea that Clinton will be the Deomcratic nominee for President in the fall. Hillary 08 !

nothing happens to rev. wright or obama for what they say, but don imus gets fired and a big deal is made for what he said. which is not even nearly as bad as what jermiah wright said in his sermon. remember how quick obama responded to the don imus fiasco? he condemned imus and CBS for it and called for him to be fired. why didn't he do the same with jeremiah wright? this is a clear double standard.

Obama says what he has to say as a politician!!!!

Nothing can be clearer than those words. It dose not mean what he says he is going to do, it says Obama speaks for political expediency and nothing more.

Case closed Obama is only words with no substance behind it.

Here is the problem, You all keep saying why should Obama be accountable for what Wright says? Well you can't have your cake and eat it too. You hold Clinton and McCain accountable for what anyone around them says, so why shouldn't Obama be held to those same standards? If he is as innocent (and I use that term loosely) as you all claim, then there should be no reason for you all to get defensive and angry

Here is the problem, You all keep saying why should Obama be accountable for what Wright says? Well you can't have your cake and eat it too. You hold Clinton and McCain accountable for what anyone around them says, so why shouldn't Obama be held to those same standards?

Of course when Obama criticized Wright it would go down as no big thing to him and he went on to explain why, it was because he knew Obama's back was against the wall with the press coverage and as he said Obama was giving a response as a politician.

Besides before this election Wright and Obama already discussed this issue that it will come up and Wright told him that he may have to disown him, they both agreed on that and there is proof of that conversation.

So all this from Obama that he did not hear this and that, he did not approve of Wright saying this and that, is nonsense as Wright has said Obama is saying what he needs to say to appease the public, the media and anyone that he feels will support him, nothing more its just words for votes.

READ THE ENTRIRE SERMON THEN MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!! THIS IS AMERICA STUPID!!
DEMOCRACY IS NOT EASY EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH NO MATTER HOW DIFFRENT FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES AND IDEAS. THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD A BEACON TO ALL. JUDGE A MAN BY HIS OWN WORDS AND ACTIONS. AMERICA PLEASE DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF WHO WE ARE AND OF THE FREEDOM THAT SO MANY HAVE DIED AND ARE STILL DYING FOR.

Mary 10:15 AM - The answer to your question is simple. Hillary can't close the deal because (a) she is loosing 90% of the black vote which is huge in many primaries including upcoming NC where she will start out something like behind by 30% to 2%, (b) her campaign screwed up their approach to caucus states, (c) there are a lot of people including the media who have been piling on her for 10 years which degrades her standing with many (d) there are lots of people who are not comfortable with a woman, especially a strong one, (e) she has lots of self-inflicted wounds, (f) many are easily fooled by a good speech and media spin for Obama, and (g) there are lots and lots and lots of superdelegates who think it is in their self interest (e.g. they get more power) by going over to Obama vs Hillary. Personally, my very clear first choice is Hillary. I would probably vote for Obama over McCain but I'm no longer 100% certain of that, especially if McCain comes out much stronger for addressing global warming.

No, Rev. Wright is not running for office, and YES his theology has skewed but the real issue is Obama's tie to him and others who are questionable. Why would Obama NOT distance himself from this man, seeing he's running for the highest office in the country? He will be scrutinized with a fine tooth comb! He may still win the primary(I doubt it), but will loose MISERABLY in the general election. And Mr. Wrights interview will only exasserbate Obama's problems.

OBAMA NEEDS TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE NOW TO SAVE THE PARTY. HE WILL NOT WIN NOW. HIS GOOD FRIEND THE BIGOT PASTOR HAS JUST ADMITED THAT OBAMA IS LIAR IN PA. HE IS JUST ANOTHER TYPICAL POLITICIAN

All of you that were saying the Rev was speaking the truth so is he now speaking the truth when he is telling the public that Obama is just a politician and goes out and tells the people what he feels they want to hear.

In other words if he needs to say he will denounce the Rev for the sake of political expediency he will say it but that is not how he feels inside. I don't think any of you need a more defining statement than that from the Rev.

Sounds to me like Wright knows Obama pretty well, and probably a lot better than most Obama fans (and superdelegates) supporting him. He knows Obama had to say what he said in his Philadelphia speech "as a politician." If you listen to the rest of the interview, he also knows that Obama joined the church in the first place for political reasons. Might be that Obama never left the church because it was politically expedient for him to stay, not because he agreed or disagreed with anything Wright had to say. Pretty sad if you ask me.

Obama goes out and says what he has to say as a politician, very telling words by Rev. Wright.

He did say Obama speaks to the people from his heart, what he said is that Obama as a politician says what he has to say to win over the people, it may not necessarily be true but if his words can wins votes he says it anyway.

Thank you Rev.Wright, you did not have to confirm that to me about Obama I always knew his words were being spoken just to win votes.

If not for Hannity harping about these things, Wright, Ayers, and bitter comments, we would never have known about them. The rest of the media only covered it when they had no other way out of it, they were actually forced to report the news. I never watched Fox or Hannity, but I got so sick of cnn and nbc the way they were in love with Obama that I changed and now watch fox( and I hate it too) but I want to know whats going on. Everything, not just what the media thinks I should know. Had this stuff cone out back in February, Obama would not have gotten as many votes as he has and we would not be in the spot we are now, Hillary would all ready have wrapped this thing up. I just wish the media would do some real reporting, and try to be a bit unbias in their reporting.

Here is my vote

Hillary

McCain

stay home.

signed a typical white Reagan democrat.
This isn't about Race, Barry, it's about words and judgment, isn't that how you wanted us to judge YOU?

Never will I vote for Obama. Never. He says what he has to say to get elected. What a man. What a leader.

My unequivocal order: Hillary; McCain; stay home.

geevill, exactly my thoughts. Rev. Wright knows Obama as well as any person can. If he tells me Obama just "says what he has to say as a politician" that's good enough for me.

NObama!

Obama is George W. Bush, Liberal version.

I don't see how any Obama supporters can defend this man and his loathing of America.

I don't see how any Obama supporter can support Obama the way he surrounds himself, and marries, people who have no pride in America. How can you support a man who will not place his hand over his heart during the pledge?

Shouldn't the person you want to elect POTUS show that he loves his country?

(Loves THIS one, not the other one he is a citizen of)

WRIGHT = Obama
Bill = Hillary
Who would you rather have... I will take Bill and Hillary - thanks dude

Eugene: Dr king didn't hate America. He saw it's weaknesses and it's greatness.

"It went down very simply," Wright responds. "He's a politician, I'm a pastor. We speak to two different audiences."

Boy, that says it all, doesn't it. The "Pastor" thinks it's okay to take the Lord's name in vain in Church.. apparently.. and apparently, Obama says what he needs to say to his "audience". Good God, Obama must wish this cat would SHUT UP.

What amazes me is that it took Hannity to bring out this news to the majority of the people. Where was the news media on this one ? And where is the media on Ayers?

This guy just can't keep his mouth shut. He was about to see his friend of twenty years get the Dem nod and he is incapable of keeping his mouth shut - what an idiot!

Please let us go back to an Election for a United States Senator who had a showing of a black hand. What do we say about things like that in this our Unted States of America. Do you also remember when they were considering a person to become the Pope, they asked this lady how about a Black Pope, so you see the Black Race will always in the back of the line. Yes I served my country in the Military for twenty three years and I have over twenty three years again working for the Federal Government, is there a problem with race in the Unted States the answer is YES. Was the Nelson Mandela a problem to his country he gave twenty plus years of his life in JAIL. To long the Black Race has had to fight for things that are taken for granted by the white race. I wonder if they looked at some of Dr. Kings speeches would he be considered to be against the US.

Rev Wright is a true Patriot. He has spent his life preaching what he believes despite the consequences. Whether I think he's right or wrong in how his messages are delivered, I support him.

I have experienced racism in this country since I was a child coming as a refugee from an oppressive country. I am a hispanic female, very blonde with light eyes and I have experienced this at any given time by hispanics, whites, blacks, and males.

At least in this country, we are able to fight and win racism. This freedom is priceless.

Thanks to people like Rev. Wright, the new generation of children do not put up with it. My young son ,at this time, has been put in the same spot of oppression and is currently fighting for his right to be treated fairly by a teacher at school who he believes is a racist. Like, Rev. Wright he is also fighting for his right to his opinion.

Thank you Rev. Wright and Congrats to the incredible new generation of children.

There is no rule saying that the candidate with more delegates wins the nomination unless they reach 2025. The OBAMA campaign and surrogates are so deceitful that they make up new rules for OBAMA.

It is not question of Maths. It it is a dilemma about who can win the general election.
Obama is unelectable and detested by the working class.

OBAMA and his campaign suggest to split the delegates of Florida and Michigan rather than revote. By so doing they intend to silence the voters rather than let people's voices be heard.

They do not allow people to be critical about OBAMA. They think any doubts about OBAMA is negative. They practice on Euphemism and tell you anything you want to hear behind a podium.

OBAMA is unable to point to a single important instance in his Senate career which demonstrated his bipartisanship. Mr. Obama has not been a leader on big causes in Congress. He has never been a leader. The OBAMA fanatics make up credentials for OBAMA which have been refuted by Factcheck.

OBAMA is only good at whining about his treatment by Hillary and the press (for the first time ask him some serious questions that we all want to know about him). He attacks Sen. John McCain by exaggerating and twisting his words.

Obama only knows how to give routine answer to routine questions according to his script, when you ask questions about himself. He panicks and his fanatic fans panic. We want to know more about him but he quits debates. He sure has lots to hide.

He is not a man that you want to be your president. He smells danger and disaster.

When we talk guns-right to bear arms
When we talk of sex- same sex marriage, abortion, pornorgraphy, strip clubs
When we talk religion - we all get in the blender!! Round and round - wag the dog - wag the dog - wag the dog! Wake up America the county is going to hell -we need to pick a president and I suggest we stop listening to this CRAP!
We must make the media get to the issues and get out of the gutter - We need solutions! Leave the National Enquirer headlines out of it! The last debate was a joke - you could have had 2 ditsy teenage girls there and I bet they would have asked better questions! We have freedom of religion in this county - GET OFF IT - this is a constitutional right - why are you going there????? For God's sake - I don't care what you wear or how you worship - I just by God want a PLAN!Can you at least try to find out what they think on the issues?

america has three choices

1. vote for george bush part deux i.e Mr No change Mcsame, and more division!

2. Vote for the liar , who would do and say anything to get what she wants, menaing no unity!! and more divisons

3. A man with questionable friends( as yourself don't you have friends or people you know with that have ideals and ideas you profoundly disagree with), but gives the country hope and unity !

In american history, unity and diversity has never been done by the majority it always been done by the minority, think about it! Womans rights, civil rights, equal rights have all been championed by the minorites , weather it be women or blacks or hispanics and working class white people, the majority i.e as rev wright calls them the rich white men that run america , not the middle class white or working class , but the rich white men have run this country for to long with out any real progress , as a little indonesian boy said, he is tired of old white men running america , he wants something new he wants 'hope'. Becuase as the world has seen , america has a jewel in it's midst but becuase of silly guilt by association, america is going to vote for the liar or more of the same! I hope america choose properly becuase your choice inpacts not just USA but the world, when America sneezes the world catches a cold, we have seen that by the econimic situations and the war on terror!

Do Americans truely get it!!? or will you project your fears of the different and vote for the same and liars and backbitters?

America choice is simple...stop wasting time, this is a chance fo a lifetime do not waste the best thing to come across in a long while!!!!
