#2 A very interesting point was made last night on local talk radio. Wright's "chickens coming home to roost" speech was delivered on the very Sunday after 9/11. Many, many Americans were in church that day. Where was BHO? Was he absent that day too? He's already on record as "absent" but I wonder - is it possible to place him at that church....on that day....listening to that sermon?

#4 That's why the speech made so many liberal commentators swoon: It bathed them in racial guilt while flattering their intellectual pretensions. An unbeatable combination.

the Kraut-hammer pounds Obama's fraudulent speech to smithereens. _:)

#5 Not only is the guy's Obama' pastor (for 20 years) but one of his closest advisors. And the fact that Michelle has much the same 'tone' gives a pretty broad hint to the person Obama is and what kind of things Obama believes in.

If Obama was white and attended a 'KKK' church and had the KKK 'Grand Wizard' (or whatever-the-hell-its-called) as a close advisor the Media would be all over it - giving us 24/7 coverage.

#6 "If Obama was white and attended a 'KKK' church and had the KKK 'Grand Wizard' (or whatever-the-hell-its-called) as a close advisor the Media would be all over it - giving us 24/7 coverage."

And there you have the leftists and the MSM (but I repeat myself) in a nutshell, CF.

They set a much lower standard for ALL minorities because they're sure minorities can't live up the same standard as white people do.

"The ~~soft~~ bigotry of low expectations" nails them as the self-satisfied racist assholes they are. I wonder when minorities are going to WAKE UP to this. >:-(

#7 Peral, its relevant because Obama made it that way. Early on, he gave great credit to Wright, and that racist bigoted travesty of a church.

So Obama hs put himnself in the place where either

a) he believed that racist stuff and is trying to cover it

or

B) he didnt beleive it and his "religion" is worn on his sleeve.

The former marks his as a liar, the latter marks him as an empty suit politician.

In either case, Obama at the heart of the matter, has not done much anything at all to claim the mantle of Christian Faith that he is attempting to grab votes with.

And that makes it relevant - it points out he is a power hungry politician at heart, one with marxist and socialist tendencies.

He may be glib, but ultimately no different than Hillary in terms of his lack of qualifications for the Presidency, and similar in his lust for power and his willingness to do nearly anything to obtain it.

#8 "The former marks his as a liar, the latter marks him as an empty suit politician."

No reason he can't be both, OS.

Oh, wait.... He is.

#9 Another little problem is that Obama's advidor (that is "reverend" Wright) hates America. And Obama is OK with it. Now Obama is free of his opinions but if I were an American I wouldn't trust the Presidency to a guy who hates the country: that does not lead to have the interests of the country at heart.

While we are at it is said in Spain: "Tell me with who you are walking with and I will tell you who are you" and Obama walks with an antiamerican and a racist.

#10 To add to the "Why worry about his pastor" question, here's your answer....

Obama has NOT told ANY of us who he IS, period. All he's selling is "Change" and "a new hope". No specific plans, no outlines of how to pay for these plans, etc. At least with Hillary, we KNOW she's gonna bankrupt us with "Universal Everything".

Thus, when a man (much less a politician looking for the highest office in the land) tells us NOTHING about whom he/she is, we MUST "look at the company he keeps." What's funny about this is that so many are paying attention to his pastor, but he has MANY other ties to nefarious people...for example, that former head of the Weather Underground (an ADMITTED domestic terrorist group and leader). Not that I want Hillary in office either, but at least we KNOW her skeletons.
