FRANKLY I HAVE HEARD ALL I WANT FROM OBAMA AND HIS PASTOR

He sat and listened for 20 years and NOW he doesn't agree?

WELL, WE HAVE SOME INSIGHT INTO "LIBERATION THEOLOGY." IF JEREMIAH WRIGHT REALLY BELIEVED IN WHAT HE HAS BEEN RAVING ABOUT, I WOULD THINK THAT HE WOULD TRY TO HELP OBAMA. WRIGHT IS A DEMAGOGUE & 24 CARAT FRAUD, BUT IT EVIDENTLY PAYS WELL. HE NEEDS TO WITHDRAW TO HIS $10 MILLION MANSION AND REMAIN THERE.

20 years too late. I wish Obama never came along to expose his world of hate to America. And there's so much more that hasn't even hit mainstream yet. You guys think this is bad? Just wait.
Go away, Obama.

Obama still did not completely cut himself off from Rev. Wright, he said their relationship has changed. Most Americans knew what Rev Wright was about two months ago when we saw the short segments on his speechs. Which turned out to be exactly what he said in a complete speech yesterday. His judgement stinks! His campaign has been the same old politics that he says he is above. Obama is asking us to believe him when he has only been in the public for a short time. Yet, it took Obama 20 years to see the truth about his pastor. Obama looked like a little boy who got caught with his pants down during his news conference. Obama should do the DNC a favor and drop out.
Vote Hillary or Vote McCain

There were millions of white people who were ready to vote for Obama a person of color for President, until it came to light, just how racist he is, and how racist the black people are. Obama awakened and stirred racism like we have not seen in years. The blacks vote straight down the color line. This started the downward spiral for Obama, and then the truth came out about Rev. Jeremiah's mentoring of hatered, segregation and bigotry while Obama and Michelle sat passively listening to anti-American slurs for 20 years.
This brings a HUGE disillusionment to many Obama voters. Many of them regret for voting for him in the primaries. He is not what he pretends to be. We basically know nothing about his psyche, other than he hates his mothers white race. Obama is ready to throw anyone under the bus even his oldest friend, just to get votes. He does not speak from the heart, he is manipulative and uses his eloquence, and fine words to hoodwink you. He can only hoodwink the inexperienced and the dreamers. I am not dreaming, my eyes are wide open I want the best for America and I know Hillary is the best candidate for President. VOTE HILLARY OUR MOST INTELLIGENT CHOICE.

Barack Obama did the right thing when he articulated a break with an out of control self seeking hate evangelist. You are from Hawii Barack. Remember this!
JCValdes5:23PMApr 29th 2008
This was all staged! Mr Wright played the fool to Obama's straight man. Mr Obama is an actor he is not the real thing. Just an act note when he goes off script he is just off! It takes a day or two for them to write this speech for him. If he were to be speaking from the heart he would do it on the spot. Just as most of us do yet he cannot. What does this say about him??
Goldbraid5:26PMApr 29th 2008
The more the Rev. Wright insist he is right, the more wrong he becomes and the more damaging he is to the candidate he supports. There is a price to pay for being "wright" and being a megalomaniac.
J.P. Allanson5:29PMApr 29th 2008
Dr. J. Wright has been very enlightning, that tough old Marine has many excellent points. I do not agree with my children all the time, I do not agree with my Ex-wife all the time, but I have to recognise a valid honest point. If Pastor Wright is praying & preaching to get white American to take pause and listen for the purpose of salvation in Heaven, & peace on earth, I see that. Growing up in Cleveland,Ohio I have many friends, Black & White. Peace in America, and on earth,I know we can work toward that goal for all Americans.
mrbline5:29PMApr 29th 2008
People are going to think and do whatever they want about this. The disdain for Obama has NOTHING to do with Wright. . . never did. Some want the other dem. Some ARE racist. Some are actually GOP'ers pulling a Rush Limbaugh.
This independent has not changed his mind either.
To kill a candidacy over a pure Straw Man is ludicrous, and this is exactly how we got Bush. The nation will get what it deserves.
Martin5:31PMApr 29th 2008
There were people looking for a justifiable reason not to vote for Obama, here are just a few of the idiotic things people tried to use to rationalize their decision not to vote for the best candidate of change and progress for America:
1st Big News Story Obama is a Radical Muslim
2nd Big News Story Obama refuses site the Pledge of Allegiance
3rd Big News Story Obama refuses to wear American Flag lapel pen
4th Big News Story Obama contacts Canadian government on NAFTA
5th Big News Story Obama seen in African attire while visiting Africa
6th Big News Story Obama's Ex Pastor Sound Bites on YouTube
7th Big News Story Obama states the obvious Americans are bitter with the current state of the economy
8th Big News Story Obama doesn't want to debate for the 22nd time (Coward)
9th Big News Story Reverend Wright defends his personal comments to the media
If you are shallow and uninformed you can use any of these ridiculous stories to justify you reasons not to vote for Obama. But how about you vote on Obama's stand on the issues facing America??? Wouldn't that be a novel idea.
Morrie5:31PMApr 29th 2008
I think it was pretty much staged, too. Obama needed something to give him an "excuse" to make another 'speech' about what an 'upstanding American guy' he is so he can try to hang onto voters that are starting to leave him. He is just , once again, saying "what politicians say'-not what is really in his heart. He said that he didn't vet Rev. Wright before going to his church so that is why there is a problem with Rev. Wright now. We should not make the same mistake by voting for Obama since he has not been vetted enough either. We need to show better judgement than Obama has!
JOHN5:33PMApr 29th 2008
During a Michelle Obama appearance at Carnegie Mellon University, the school paper The Tartan reported the attention-getting phrase:
The Tartan's correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, "Get me more white people, we need more white people." To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, "We're moving you, sorry. It's going to look so pretty, though."
"I didn't know they would say, 'We need a white person here,' " said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. "I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn't know it would be so outright."
C. Malone5:38PMApr 29th 2008
Why should it matter? No one else has been put into a position to defend a friend,supporter, member of the clergy or a family member for what they said. This is just a fly in the ointment. Obama can no more be responsible for what anyone says, does or thinks than the president can in taking responsibility for the vice pres. accidently shooting his hunting buddy. It is unfortunate that he has to waste time defending something he did not say instead of being able to focus on what really needs to be dealt with.
Billo5:39PMApr 29th 2008
The argument by the clinton lemming's that obama is a disciple of rev wright just went out the window this past monday. It's very clear that rev wright is only concerned with rev wright and cares little about obama.
Seriously people! Does anyone (other than clinton lemmings) really think that Obama shares the same views as the good rev wright? I think the "rev wright tour" has strengthen the argument that obama and rev wright are polar opposites. Obama today just landed a round-house on the good rev and should finish the bum off soon.
Jim H5:48PMApr 29th 2008
We need a president who knows "Wright from wrong." Bye-bye, Bama . . hello McCain!

So tell me an "uninformed voter" why should I vote for Obama? Because he makes beautiful speeches about change? What change? Give me some information on the guy other than the change speech, tell me some things he has done to qualify him as president other than inciting other candidates and presidents failures to justify him to be president..
