<p>Obama’s on CNN right now denouncing Rev. Wright’s press conference yesterday.</p>
<p>Just like the Obama campaign…blame Barry’s preacher mess on Hillary. Wait a day…they’ll probably spin it into a charge of Clintonian racism because everyone knows Bill Clinton and Hillary have always hated black folk.</p>
<p>Who’s Barry?</p>
<p>Barrack used to be called Barry. In college years he went back to his given name.</p>
<p>^ Thanks. I thought I missed something.</p>
<p>“Obama’s on CNN right now denouncing Rev. Wright’s press conference yesterday”</p>
<p>He will now say and do anything to win. His pastor said so. :;</p>
<p>He is actually now proving that he is just like any other politician…so much for the new politician</p>
<p>“He is actually now proving that he is just like any other politician…so much for the new politician”</p>
<p>I came to that conclusion the day after NH debate when his surrogates started playing the race card. I think that caused the meltdown of black support to Hillary and now amongst many blacks Clintons are the most racist people in the world.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But wait, I thought Bill Clinton was the first black president! Isn’t that what the press has told us this last decade?</p>
<p>To me Obama just doesn’t seem credible standing there saying basically that he was so shocked to hear his pastor say those things; that he had no idea he thought that way. How could he not know? Was he wearing earplugs?</p>
<p>The speech is over, what bothered me was, he didn’t answer the question about how should the super delegates feel comfortable about you being able to lead if it took you 20 yrs to figure this out? Lots of uh, ums. buts, but no answer.</p>
<p>The question does remain Wright seems to be a very foward man, which is fine by me, but if he is a straight talker, how did Obama miss all of this and says I now see I didn’t know him well enough! Lets not forget Audacity of Hope is a Wright Sermon.
At the end he says that Wright wasn’t his spiritual mentor, but yet, he baptised him, married him, baptised his 2 children, acknowledges him in both of his books, but he was nothing! If anyone buys that, well I am a licensed realtor in NO. VA, aand I have a listing for a lovely property overlooking the Potomac that General Lee owned with lots of acreage!</p>
<p>I don’t know. I used to sit through many church sermons and sometimes I would only hear “blah, blah, blah”. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s not like his church was shy about this Black Liberation Theology nonsense. It was all over Trinity’s website; all over Wright’s writing and speeches. Who is kidding whom? Wright travelled with Farrakhan for an audience with Kaddafi 20 years ago. Obama helped “organize” Farrakhan’s Million Man March and didn’t know these connections. BS.</p>
<p>This is one of those “how can you tell when Barack is lying” games…when his lips are moving.</p>
<p>Since this is a college site, I also have to admit (depending on what I did the night before), there were also a few college lectures where all I heard was “blah, blah, blah”. :o</p>
<p>And the other question that remains. What does this do to Obama’s black support. Rev. Wright seemingly had the entire African American “intelligentia” whoopin’ and hollerin’ for his racist religious ideals at the NAACP speech Sunday and again yesterday. I mean, Cornell West himself was at the National Press Club.</p>
<p>Can Obama repudiate all of these supporters of Wright and “the black church”?</p>
<p>I would argue that if this is all his opponents “have on him”, he’s not in bad shape politically at all. </p>
<p>In my opinion, the more his opponents keep this going, the more the rest of the world will start hearing, “blah, blah,blah” whenever they hear Wright’s name. :eek:</p>
<p>CNN says they are going to replay Obama’s pastorgate 2 speech at 3pm central time today. One of the commentators said that the Obama campaign had people talking all weekend with Wright begging him not to give the two extra speeches and just stop with Bill Moyers.</p>
<p>Bullet and I teach religious education at our church, and I discussed a few weeks ago, just that topic blah, blah, blah Of course since they are in 8th grade I used Charlie Browns teachers voice as an example. I also will admit that many times my priests have lost me and my mind wanders about what I need to do (pay bills, grocery lists etc), but if he sat there and screamed the US of KKK I think my mind would divert back to the sermon, same with him saying G<em>D Dammed America (IN Catholic beliefs that is a mortal sin to take G</em>Ds name in vain)</p>
<p>I am pretty sure that it would be hard to miss these preachings unless you were absent or wearing earplugs</p>
<p>Obamas chickens are finally coming home to roost.</p>
<p>Alternate scenario:</p>
<p>Come June, Barack is still leading in the pledged delegate count, but continues to appear mortally wounded as a general election candidate. Hillary narrowed the margin in North Carolina and won virtually everywhere else, and may have even taken the lead in the popular vote count. The uncommited superdelegates are paralyzed; they don’t want to back a sure loser, but are afraid to alienate the African American and youth vote. Neither candidate has enough to go over the top on the first ballot at the upcoming convention.</p>
<p>I wonder what Al Gore is thinking?</p>
