Obama has a right to denounce the message of a preacher and not the church. Obama probably has developed close ties with the members of the church. I did some research on the church and found out that they help HIV infected people with medicine, homeless people, pregnant teenagers, elderly people. I see why Obama stayed with a church whose ministries have helped many people - I would too. Obama chose not to turn his back on a friend - Doesn't the bible say love your neighbor but hate his ways. Obama still has affections for his pastor but has denounced his ways. I see nothing wrong with loving thy neighbor but hating their ways. Let Obama bring this country together - stand back and let him do what others can not.

bkmc, I know it's like what they did to Jesus, minus; drugs in youth, pushing and bullying his way into the Senate, using race to his advantage with "Change/Hope"; using race to attack opponents by "Crying Wolf" on anything and campaigning while living a contradiction; raising his daughters to learn and feel a hate that is promoted and maintained thus preventing any real positive progress for future generations. Sure, Obama is not his preacher, but the preacher is what Obama chose. Weird, considering that Obama's history is not that of American Slavery; his history is directly from Africa. It was a political choice he made 20 years ago when he started politics, meaning he intended on having the "vote" for the future, even if it meant creating the wedge he created.

Obama will do anything to take over, including using race as a wedge.

Why is everbody defending racism now in Obamas camp? So racism is totally okay if you're black, even if you're not from slave history, even if you're half white, even if you come from a step above the rest with white family who was highly educated, even if you say no one else is allowed to speak about your race, but you can bring it up whenever it works for you. Obama is going to represent all Americans? NOT ME; I don't relate dude.

I hope the news media pushes this: What is in the tax returns of Mr. and Ms. Clinton? - Inquiring minds want to know. I want to know why she had her Wellesley College thesis sealed by her then president- husband. I want to know about the donors to Mr. and Ms. Clinton's library. I want to know this before the Pennsylvania primary. It just looks like she has something to hide.

Looks like Sinbad is out for a possible appointment as Secretary of State (or even assistant to the Sec of State) in a HRC Administration.

But we still have Sheryl Crow!

This hatred has got to stop. Here was a story about Senator Clinton. The reporters checked their sources and one of them, Sinbad, gave an entirely different set of circumstances.

It's like someone getting caught pumping up their resume. No big deal.

But now we have people hating Sinbad who did nothing wrong. Others want to get into the Wright controversy, which has nothing to do with the story.

Does anyone really suggest America is any closer to being a better country by your remarks here?

Grow up. We have serious issues to be dealt with. The great majority of comments on here only serve to push us further apart.

I'm so tired of all of the "it's over now for Obama" posts.

Do you honestly believe Sen. Obama forgot what color his skin is? Do you think he didn't know there are still racist people in this country? Do you think he counted on "smooth sailing" to the presidency without the right wing nuts reminding everybody of the animosity that still exists out there between whites and blacks?

You might be able to say that he didn't expect this to come up in the primary, and maybe he should have taken more pro-active action about it. And maybe that would have helped a bit. I guess his fault is to trust that democrats, the party that preaches inclusion, wouldn't be as biased.

Sen. Obama didn't jump on this willy-nilly, and without being realistic. The reason Sen. Obama decided to run, why he hoped he could succeed, is because he counted on the fact that America is less divided now than in the past, and also that the votes he would have lost anyway to people who would have never (not before, not after Wright) vote a black person into office would be counteracted by the millions that will come out for a new found hope in a political process that serves the people of the country, instead of the millionaires.

Let's all hope he was right. America, don't disappoint us.

laughing: seriously? are you saying he didn't have to fight to get this far? how many times was he told he couldn't do it?

that he couldn't raise the money, couldn't win Iowa, couldn't win caucases, couldn't win primaries, couldn't win white states, mixed states, big states, small states.

guess what. he's been fighting for it all and winning as a result. i don't think people in Ohio gave him a pass when 20% of them said race was important, and 80% voted for Clinton.

It was Sen. Clinton who expected to be the nominee since last year, solely because of her husband's legacy.

I'm more inclined to believe Sinbad, who, while an abominable actor and comdian, has nothign to gain and would doubtfully expose himself to sniper fire for any reason. Were there any sniper fire there would have been a secret service report from HRC's detail.

Man, is this the best the Democrats can do? This is gonna be easy. When are you guys gonna finally understand that everything a Clinton says is a lie?

I wonder what Bill thinks of Saturday Night Live. Comedy is not pretty.

I saw the entire video and if the military supports her version, I believe her.

Now the Obama camp is tripping all over itself with one of his surrogates telling lies and a spokesperson saying he lied:

- Asked to explain Durbin's claim that "many" of Wright's incendiary remarks were made before Obama joined his congregation, Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor told ABC News, "Sen. Durbin misspoke." -

DCV

What was her version of her diplomatic accomplishment in Bosnia again?

Former Clinton Administration officials seem to disagree that she had a prominent place at the peace table. Sheryl Crow on the other hand is a different story.

DCV

WoW. I never woulda guessed that you'd be backing Hill on this one.

I do know she had no role at the Irish Peace table, but is credited with giving some good speeches to women groups and such.

But unfortunately we all know that speeches don't matter for squat. Don't we?

There MIGHT be sniper fire?

There MIGHT be a red phone moment if I play this up just right?

It's pretty pathetic when a comedian named for an ancient fairytale tells a more believable version.

Next thing we'll hear is she held off the enemy until she ran out of ammo.
