Like Clinton, this is yesterday's news

O Yea, Obama left his racist church to start his own church.

ROFLMAO

Just a coincidence LOL

How stupid do they think the American people are.

He is the most pathetic thing of a person.

He is cold and calculated politically, and does not do anything with that being his major concern.

Pfleger conveniently dropped off the Obama campaign as spiritual advisor last week.

Blame it on the media.

Always playing the blame game.

This is not motivated by politics.....

It's simply another issue that he's flip-flopped on.

Remember how Iran was not a serious threat to our nation; the very next day he claimed it was a major threat.

Similarly, he could no more disown Rev. Wright or trinity united church than he could disown his own grandmother or the black community; unless of course they had a less than desireable effect on his polling-then they were tossed under the bus.

You see, I have it by a good source that they have an internal pool going. The winner will be the one who most closely guesses the number of times that the mainstream media will help him cover up these flip flops. There's a secondary prize for how often it is that anone who calls him on this attempted jedi mind trick is villified.

The prize for these pools is a cabinet level position...........

What a pusillanimous, palavering, popinjay!

God help us all if he is the next president of the united states!

Obama has done something no one could do he has brought unity but it will be Clinton's supporters and John McCain supporters who would have ever thought we would unite Republicans and Democrats united really is something to see on Mccain site.

Obama's communications director Robert Gibbs really thinks Americans are idiots.... Even Democrats are not going to buy this BS.....

From what I can tell Obama's candidacy has only served to embolden and fire up the rhetoric of racist, anti-American nuts like Wright,Pfleger, Farrakhan. They see him as their champion. I want those folks to go back into their holes and a message to be sent that their hate has no place in civil American discourse. It appears that only a rejection of Obama will get that message across because Obama is just playing politics in his handling of them.

Phitro

this is nothing. just the beginning, Clinton force & McCain forces are merging now. just wait and see the DUKAKIS II

"Spokesman: Obama Decision to Leave Church Not Politically Motivated"

OMG!! This is so funny!! Are we supposed to believe this? I guess running for president isn't politically motivated. And everyone in Chicago knows that both Wright and Phleger have been the way they are for years. Obama is the one changing now. ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED!!!!! I that that was only something a Clinton would do. Live and learn kids. You have to make compromise to get in office and stay there. You guys blasted the Clintons for their compromises. So immature. Well, now live with it.

Haha yeah right not political motivated at all. He is the most calculating poltician ever. You know what they say Obama the more things change the more they stay the same. This man is not an agent of change he is just your typical politican and people may begin to realize it. I hear Oprah has a new church or some new theology maybe Obama is looking to join that. As an african American I find it appalling that Obama and the media said this is the way the most black churches are and that not really true, and if it I guess obama can't join a new black church cause won't it be the same thing?

Like hell it's not politically motivated!!
Everything he does is done to ensure he is the nominee.

Obama's decision to leave his church was DEFINITELY NOT politically motivated. It was genuinely from his heart, like ALL of his recent (NON)political decisions......what a joke!

OMG! We are really supposed to believe Obama's decision to leave the church was not politically motivated??? Hahahaaaa!!! Tell me another one so I can laugh some more.

Obama lies again. His aid tries to cover up that Obama is just another politician and he wavers as soon as there's someone giving him trouble. But I have seen his true color and know that leaving his church is based on his political calculation. In his own words, he and Michelle have been thinking about leaving the church as long as he runs his campaign. What does that tell you? Who would believe this is not politically motivated but out of personal reasons?

Obama, please show your guts and just be honest to yourself. We don't like you and will not vote for you because you've proved yourself time and time again that you are no different than any other ugly politician and your change is full of lies.

actually i heard that the average person forgets 80% of what they hear everyday. regardless, i believe everything i see on the internet so i think this obama ploy will work.

Most of these comments seem pretty bizarre to me. The issue raised here has to do with Obama distancing himself (No matter what anyone says) from his former Pastor for political reasons. What seems more interesting here, rather than making asinine assertions about Obama's religious beliefs and them some how taking over the country, is the fact that in order for any prominent politician to win office requires so much deceptive political maneuvering.

Further, if you want to challenge political candidates viability one should go beyond simple pundit equations regarding someones religion or race. If you have a problem with a candidate speak to the policies and political record of them.

It seems pretty clear that Obama used Wright and the "Million Man March" troops for black street cred and to solidify the 95% black vote through the primaries. But he's systematically retreated, first with his speech on race in America(not politically motivated), then with his denouncement of Wright (not politically motivated) and now with his leaving his church (not politically motivated). I love his brand of "New Politics". So refreshing.

Helen: "Or are you afraid he might try and reach out to our enemies and the poor and sick"

You can't be serious- this man and his spokespeople have beclowned themselves:
thinking people don't buy this crap-
this lightweight has no business running for President-
Geraldine was absolutely correct!
He'd have more credibility if he would throw our enemies under the bus!

Stephanapalous really hates Obama, doesn't he? He's always looking for fault with him. Ever since the ABC debate.

Obama is a man of hope. Hope his past associates will keep their mouths shut and not implicate him as a criminal.
