Obama has some serious problems
I am all for freedom of speech and our other constitutional rights, but I also believe we have the freedom to challenge those who are using this right to make radical statements. We also have the right to state what is intuitively obvious.
When the Rev Wright speeches are put into context, as he stated wasn’t the case, it becomes even clearer that they are hate-filled and racist. If they were being said by anyone other than a black preacher, the outcry would be tremendous. This double standard is overwhelmingly clear.
Rev. Wright’s sermons “put in context” are far worse than the snippets we have heard previously. Rationally trying to defend the statements really shows the underlying bias. The statements put in context can be found here: Townhall.com::Blog
The speeches are clearly inflaming racial hatred. He blames America for 9/11, he blames the government for spreading AIDS to black people, he makes statements about how blacks are genetically different, he makes statements about how blacks learn differently from other races, he blames the government for suppressing black people from any sort of accomplishments all while promoting increased government intervention to fix the problems. The same government that is causing the problem is being escalated to having more power.
What kind of rational thinking is this?
Obama has a serious problem. You have to be concerned about a candidate who touts his Christianity, acknowledges this racially-biased minister as being his spiritual leader, and admitting he has been attending this church for ~20 years, then asking everyone to believe that he disagrees with this speech and hate-filled rhetoric.
Something seriously doesn’t add up.
In addition, Obama's wife would not answer the question when asked if she disagreed with Wright's statements. She continued to divert the conversation and never answered. This is very worrisome.
If I was exposed to this type of speech in my church and I truly disagreed with it as Obama says, there is no way I would continue to attend and financially support the church and preacher that radically opposed my thoughts and beliefs.
This cannot be rationally explained.
Someone is lying and Obama has a lot more explaining to do before we should trust him with the Presidency!

AMEN...and AMEN again!!
THIS FROM ROLLING STONE (hardly a conservative magazine) ARTICLE LAST JANUARY:
"The Trinity United Church of Christ, the church that Barack Obama attends in Chicago, is at once vast and unprepossessing, a big structure a couple of blocks from the projects, in the long open sore of a ghetto on the city's far South Side. The church is a leftover vision from the Sixties of what a black nationalist future might look like. There's the testifying fervor of the black church, the Afrocentric Bible readings, even the odd dashiki. And there is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a sprawling, profane bear of a preacher, a kind of black ministerial institution, with his own radio shows and guest preaching gigs across the country. Wright takes the pulpit here one Sunday and solemnly, sonorously declares that he will recite ten essential facts about the United States. "Fact number one: We've got more black men in prison than there are in college," he intones. "Fact number two: Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!" There is thumping applause; Wright has a cadence and power that make Obama sound like John Kerry. Now the reverend begins to preach. "We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns and the training of professional KILLERS. . . . We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. . . . We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. . . . We care nothing about human life if the ends justify the means!" The crowd whoops and amens as Wright builds to his climax: "And. And. And! GAWD! Has GOT! To be SICK! OF THIS SHIT!"
"This is as openly radical a background as any significant American political figure has ever emerged from, as much Malcolm X as Martin Luther King Jr. Wright is not an incidental figure in Obama's life, or his politics. The senator "affirmed" his Christian faith in this church; he uses Wright as a "sounding board" to "make sure I'm not losing myself in the hype and hoopla." Both the title of Obama's second book, The Audacity of Hope, and the theme for his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 come from Wright's sermons. "If you want to understand where Barack gets his feeling and rhetoric from," says the Rev. Jim Wallis, a leader of the religious left, "just look at Jeremiah Wright."
Maybe you all should vote for an out and out liar. Someone that does not stay home and bake cookies. Who has had to dodge bullets and did'nt seem to care what her husband was doing in order to further her own ambitions.
I guess it takes all kinds. Right
