Sen Obama does not endorse all of the Rev's sermon........

The question is which ones does he endorse for political gain???

Which ones does his family in particular his wife believes in ???

Why is Sen Obama has made associations with a lot of muslims who are anti-americans???

These questions need to be answered.

Thinking...I have been going to the same church for 12 years. Yes, I am there to worship God not my Pastor but I am there as well as my children to learn from my Pastor. If my Pastor said any of the things that Rev. Wright said, I would be out the door the very FIRST time anything like that was said. You mentioned honesty. Do you really think Obama is an honest person??? Get real.

Those of us who want to examine Obama's controversial and racist connections are not unfairly attacking Obama -

We are choosing not to bury our heads in the sand and hope for the best. We did that in '00 and '04 and look where it got us.

Obama's explanation is not credible. On one hand, he says that the "biggest difference" between himself and Wright is that Wright doens't say enough good things about America. yet Obama also tries to back away from Wright's racist comments. Which is it, Obama - the racism or the anti-Americanism - that you disagree with most?

And if Obama is a non-racist patriot, how could he possibly sit through those sermons and not be offended?

The answer is easy: Wright is powerful in Chicago, and Obama needed to carry Chicago's black vote in order to get elected to the senate. Only now, when it is uncomfortable, does Obama attempt to back away.

Typical politician. THIS is the "new politics?" I don't think so.

When will the country see that the emperor has no clothes? Probably in November,

"Obama expressed regret that the man who married him and wife Michelle and the church he's called home for more that 20 years have been the subject of close press scrutiny".

If only Obama would have come under this same press scrutiny, the Dems would not be in this mess! Barack is a con man. Or as the good Rev. said.....A politician........

Obama is on record as saying he would have left the church if he heard any of the provocative things Wright is documented as saying. Now he finally admits that of course he heard them. He has lied. He remained in the church despite hearing these things. This is not an embellishment, this is not taking credit for a bill here or there -- this is a big fat lie which speaks to his beliefs, values and core character.

Rhat separatist message is designed to keep peole in the black community, under the thumb of their leaders and scared to participate in the larger society. It is very deleterious.

I believe that someone can listen to others, even a preacher, and not agree with or begin to think like others when they are strong personalities - just as Obama. This is ridiculous for some people to think just because Obama listened to this man for years that this is how Obama believes and thinks! Too many church goers believe & feel a certain way just because their minister/preacher/pastor say that's how they should believe....Thank goodness that Obama is a stronger person than others.

Bottom line for this election is that Obama is a junior Senator with very limited experience. He is just not qualified to be our president. That's my only issue.

LogicalThinker...how about Obama's children, do you think they have "strong Personalities" as well? Your comment wasn't very "Logical".

I believe that most of the Hillary posters really don't care what was said. This is just more hate talk. In other words it is just bigotry. And from the Hillary camp it is win at all costs.

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me" was written, I was told, by a former captain of a slave ship. Wright, who seems to me a BITTER man, was undoubtedly referring to America's failure to repent completely of its "original sin" of slavery and subsequent racism when he said, "God damn America for treating people as less than human." I was raised in a European immigrant Catholic church where we were taught you do not take the name of the Lord your God IN VAIN. But I was taught it is not blasphemy to invoke damnation on sin.

Thanks LogicalThinker for that piece. Some folks who have never been to church are now singing Hallelujah against Obama.

Rev. Wright again!!? This is like the old Porky Pig cartoon, when he eats too much food -- then, he has a dream that he is forced to eat waaaaaay too much food.

The media and conservative pundits are being too glutonous here, and the Ironic Punishment Division will set things in perspective!

The story ABC just can't get enough of. . .

Yet they still haven't done anything about Rev. "monarch of America" Moon and his influence on the Bush family and the Republican party.

Charleneki.

Well said!

Someone who really loved and appreciated America would have picked up his family and left Wright and that church behind. He stayed for more than 20 years, got married by Wright, had his kids baptized by Wright, made the church the biggest beneficiary of his charity, and embraced Wright as "his spiritual mentor" and "sounding board" and put him on his campaign team!

A man with no brain will accept what OBama says. I am surprised the so called educated people with a lot of brain will give the benefit of doubt to Obama on this issue.

FYI - I am a Phd in Math and I will not vote for Obama.

People need to learn more about all religions and the style of sermons of each. Rev Wright is not a racist nor a bigot. He is simply a peacher who is reaching out to others in ways they can relate to. By pointing out wrongs, one can think of what is right. By damning something one can insist on change. His style is simular to fire and brimstone. I would suggest that everyone study all religions, visit different churches, then they can better understand. Don't change your beliefs just be open-minded so you can better understand others.

The truth is that Obama does have a way to input to Rev. Wright..it is called get up and leave the Church. Sen. Obama has a history of questionable judgements in the people he surrounds himself with for political advancement. He also has had relationship with Rev. Meeks, a rev. with other racist statements. I dont mind Sen. Obama is a black/white man... but i do mind that he seems to think the white have on himself is not as important and his black half. I do hope that he will embrace the other half of himself, but i will not vote for someone who has made comments and let his staff say that white, older, people are not important and he can win without thier vote.
