I must admit, I am seriously disappointed with Barack Obama, and honestly, his actions now are too little, too late. We are expected to believe that over the course of twenty years he did not notice how far out the Reverend Wright was? Even if accepted at face value, what does this say about his judgement?
I am also saddened, as I honestly liked Barack...he seemed...genuine, now I am not sure what to think. I am left feeling he is either disingenuous, or a fool. The kind of radical statements that the Rev. Wright made are the kind of statements most people notice. If my pastor stood up in church and said that the US government was responsible for the AIDS epidemic... I think that kind of would get noticed. Honestly, I think if he stated that 'our chickens and come home to roost' he would have been stoned, well maybe not that extreme, but there would have certainly been significantly fewer members of the congregation the following Sunday.
So what are we left to think? That Barack honestly didn't notice any of this? or that he either agreed, or chose to ignore it. It is not like this can be chalked up to the eccentricities of a beloved uncle, oh...don't mind him... he's harmless, we have decided to find his behavior amusing. This behavior is so repugnant I am having great difficulty even extending the courtesy to Mr Wright of addressing him as Reverend. Barack stated that "the person he saw [Monday] was not the person that I had come to know over 2o years", what... the 'good' Reverend has just suddenly and completely gone nuts?
Obama maintained he had never heard these types of statements as a parishioner, but long term supporters of Wright said this was no different than what parishioners heard in church. Is Mr. Obama deaf? Or was he just sleeping through the sermon? Suddenly Barack is using adjectives like "appalling," "ridiculous," "outrageous," "insensitive," "destructive" and "divisive" about the man who officiated at his wedding, baptised his children, and prayed with his family.
Could he have been so duped? Are we to believe that Mr. Wright never mentioned these things when Obama was around? That even if these things were never said in his presence, he never heard anything about it from his fellow parishioners?
I'm sorry, I had actually thought that Barack Obama was a different kind of politician, but I can not in good conscience vote for a man who can not tell Wright from wrong.

I think what he was responding to was, in fact, Wright's flagrant disrespect for his candidacy and Wright's disloyalty to Obama and what he's trying to accomplish.
What I saw on Tuesday was a guy basically breaking up with his Dad after long years of setting aside political disagreements for the sake of a deeper personal relationship, and a committment to a church which, by all accounts, embraced people of all classes. Barack also stayed with the church because of its unusual (for a culturally black church) friendliness to gays and lesbians, and for its enormous service to AIDS victims and to the poor.
I think Obama's committment to Trinity's inclusion of many people that other, more traditional black churches keep out shows that he does know right from wrong.
Sorry you disagree.
I guess going to church is worse than losing people's retirement money (McCain's Keating 5 and his free market absolutism which made the whole Enron and Bear Stearns debacles possilbe) or voting to sending over 4,000 Americans to their deaths in Iraq (thank you, Mrs. Clinton).
BILL SLAMS HILL...
During the interview, Bill O’Reilly pays Hillary the ULTIMATE INSULT by telling her to her face that she is JUST LIKE HIM.
Two divisive peas in a pod!!
What worse thing could Bill O’Reilly possibly say to anyone?
This is why Obama cannot win.
Obama—>Rezko—>Auchi—>Saddam Hussein & Muammar al-Gadaffi
Obama got his money from Rezko who got his 3.5 million from Auchi:
-Nadhmi Auchi is an Iraqi-born billionaire who was charged along with
Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Prime minister (president)
Abdul Karim Qasim and stood trial in 1959. (Auchi gave fellow Baath
Party members machine guns from his home for Saddam Hussein.)
-Auchi protected secret money for Saddam Hussein AND Muammar al-Gadaffi.
(Remember, Obama’s Trinity church Pastor Wright went with Nation of
Islam minister Louis Farrakhan in 1993 to visit Libyan socialist leader
Gadaffi.)
-Auchi also financially backed Saddam Hussein’s plan for a pipeline
from Iraq to Saudi Arabia.
-Rezko was also a business partner with Nation of Islam Founder’s
son: Jabir Herbert Muhammad.
Why isn’t the media talking about all of Barack Obama’s scary friends
who have ties to the worst people in history?
*Don’t forget William (Bill) Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn of the Weather
Underground.
*Obama’s cousin Raila Odinga who just became co-President of Kenya
this week (after 1,000 people were killed) whom Obama is said to be
close to...who signed a secret pact with Muslim jihadists who were
to ethnically cleanse people?
And why does Raila Odinga use Obama’s exact same campaign slogan:
CHANGE....Vote for CHANGE: Look at his website:
I think you speak for a lot of us. He's either clueless or disingenuous. This appears to be a case of what's good for Chicago politics isn't good for national politics.
