Wright & Obamas relationship has nothing to do with race....But its funny how you bring race into the picture. When all doesnt go the way you want it to, it becomes a race issue.

Of course, Barack has a right to be angry. Jeremiah Wright is purposefully injecting himself into the presidential campaign to get his 15 minutes. He is risking injuring a candidate who's policies would be most favorable to the people Wright claims to be trying to help, just for his ego and fame. There is a good article on this Barack Obama/ Jeremiah Wright business here:

Do you think maybe its God opening Obama's eyes? Maybe its not only the white race that is prejudice just maybe the black are too.Maybe its time to stop and think before jumping to conculsions on this.Just maybe it will wake up Obama and let him see its God's way or no way.I don't know who is the right person for president .I don't care if they are man or woman black or white but, I pray they are a godly person

Why do you think Karl Rove is gving Obama ways to win back th Nod? The Repubs have soi much stuff on Obama, even THEY will do anything to have him go toe to toe with McCain so they can CRUSH him and get another 4-8 yrs in the White House. This is enough to have Obama STEP DOWN for the sake of the Dem Party!

many times over the past 30 years at my church i have disagreed with my pastors sermons; but that does not cause me to leave my church. your church is where you worship your god with your friends and family, not where you go to support your pastor and his sermons.

I don't know if Obama believes in Jesus Christ but, he says he does .I think he has seen a little of what God can do for you if you believe I also think his wife has seen it too.Unbelievers can work against you if you start believing. God Bless us all

One more lie of Obama.......Just heard it on PBS. He said, "Rev Wright was never my mentor or spiritual advisers"
Well what is this?
"In April 2004, Barack Obama told a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times that he had three spiritual mentors or counselors: Jeremiah Wright, James Meeks, and Father Michael Pfleger.”

If "YOU" don't see through the plot...., "Divide and Conquer" !!!
If the "POWER that BE" can win at this old game, then "WE" will continue to fight against one another and refuse to UNTIFY, failing to stay focus on the issues that effect "US" as a whole.
They really want "US", - 'everyone who's truly ready for a CHANGE' to jump ship, from what "WE" share in common and derail the "Power of UNITY" with this one detraction, which really will NOT hold no value after the presidential election.
If "WE" in the year 2008..., as an "IntelligentTHINKING" American, 'Caucasian, Black, Hispanics, Asian and et al can't see straight through this today..., let's NOT discuss our level of intelligent tomorrow.

Jerry's comments
Since Mr.Obama is so outraged with Rev. Wright's comments perhaps he should hold a press conference to state that he is withdrawing his membership from the Church where Rev. Wright served as the former Pastor. Quite frankly, I believe that any one who uses Rev. Wright's comments as a reason for not voting for Obama probably was not going to vote for him any way.
The Obama camp should use its media outlets and contacts to expose Fox News for not informing its viewing and reading and listening audience that the statements made during a sermon by Rev. Wright which were aired by its network contained quotes from a former White American Ambasador named Edward Peck. In addition Mr. Peck made his statements about the condemnation of America on Fox News after 9/11/01. Check out the following web sites: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/21/meet-the-white-man-who-_n_92793.html and http://www.counterpunch.org/peck1.html
I find it ironic that certain media outlets have asked why Obama did not state that some of his comments in some of his previous statements were quotes from some political associates. However, these same media outlets have not taken Fox News to task
for not informing the public that comments made in a sermon by Rev. Wright were quotes taken from a white man named Edward Peck who is a former American Ambassador.
It is quite obivious that certain media outlets are going to continue to bring up this topic. It hopes it can use it as a distraction from other more crucial issues in this 2008 campaign for Presidnet of the United States.
Is the Obama camp afraid of Fox News. There is a common phrase that has been used for years. "Sly as a Fox" How appropriate. I will vote for the Candidate who I believe can best lead this country based on his or her own ability. Not based on a sermon or any other comments made by some one else.
I am now doing some research into an allegation regarding Senator Clinton's affiliation with a Pastor who has been accused and perhaps charged with sexual molestation.
I am also doing some research to find out how many elected officials have denouced the Catholic Church and has actually left the Catholic church because certain Priest have been accused and in some cases deemded guilty of sexual molestation.
Has anyone asked Senator Clinton why she has not left her husband for his act or acts of adultry?

I don't know if what he said is true or not only he and God knows .God loves us all he don't chose colors or nationalities he made us all and we all sin were human.God forgives all sin if you ask and repent.If you believe in Jesus Christ and know he died for our sins.I Believe and I'm not Ashamed. God Bless All. If God brings you to it He will bring you thru it.
Joe7:37PMApr 29th 2008
The real Obama is a racist pig who sat in church for 20 years listening to how the white man held the blacks down and America was responsible for all the evil in the world and that was ok with him when he was around the "brothers" Now he wants to be president and gets caught as a racist/hater and is shown to be far more racist that G. Wallace ever was and he wants our vote? How stupid are those who would vote for a hate-monger
Joan Sorensen7:52PMApr 29th 2008
I would sincerely hope that all of the people who have been behind Obama from the start would have the intelligence to ignore a so called Bishop who rants without thought and then supposedly rues the error of his ways. It is not worth giving him any credence - he just apparently wants his moment of glory and he doesn't appear to care who he hurts along the way.

The Arabic Chart
The Arabic Ascendant
In the Arabic Chart your Sun will be on the Ascendant, thus the Arabic Ascendant shows how to bring forth the power of your Sun. People with their Sun exactly on their Ascendant don't have a separate Arabic chart, they meet the world in an instinctive and direct way, their essence fits well with their role, they are doing their thing.
The Sun on the Ascendant
may mean that your self-expression is natural and assured, automatic and instinctive, resembling Aries/Leo type (the 1st house/the Sun). You may find your own voice when still very young, although often quite unconsciously. There may be a desire for power and some egocentricity. In the East (especially in India) this is a common placement in the charts of gurus - according to Lois M. Rodden so common that it is curious, if not suspect. Examples: Pakh Subud, Sri Aurobindo and Sai Baba. Barack Hussein Obama Jr. sun sign is Leo …..

Does this explain the rising sun over the flag at Obama’s web site?

We cannot stop the exploitation of the peoples of the rest of the world because we cannot stop the exploitation being done to ourselves. The peoples of the rest of the world see us as the new communists, spreading our form of government through war. We will bomb them into democracy. What is actually in the interest of big money and big corporations is done in the name of the people of the United States of America. Is it not obvious that the Bush's are and have friends in the oil industry and that we have conflicts with OPEC members when they are in power?
I wish Obama was not Black so that they could not use race as an excuse to get people not to elect him.
I don't know how this preacher side show can be overcome but I wonder how many people think that the Pope or the Catholic church is a molester of boys because of the association with those priest that are or were.
Those in power do not have our interests on their agenda.
McCain is not as bad as other "money party" candidates but his legacy is that of military people and we do not need his legacy to be our destiny. He has stated that war is his answer to our problems. If the choice is between Hillary or McCain, it is a vote against McCain not really a vote for Hillary.
Heaven help us PLEASE.

How convenient!!! Given that Obama is a slick deceiver who has time and again embraced the so-called high road to cover up something low, I will not be surprised if this latest exchange with Rev. Wright has been staged all along. Isn't the timing of Rev. Wright's reappearance convenient? Obama needs an opportunity to denounce Wright more forcefully before Indiana and North Carolina and voila! Rev Wright reappears. Wright is Obama's sacrificial lamb going into Indianan and North Carolina and Obama's denunciation is another one of his tactics to deceive the public..

No excuse was necessary for the racists. They needed the excuses to persuade others. The status quo will prevail after all. Any candidate that is a threat to big money and corporations who have not only infiltrated government but are the government will be destroyed.
This man presented hope for the nation. The sad thing about it is that we will continue to shed our blood and support our country in conflicts all over the world and return to the arrogance of the ruling class.
They will always keep us divided and controlled because those few trickle down enough to keep the majority saying, at least they aren't black and they are doing better than blacks.
The big oil and big money and corporations don't give a damn about the masses of people or the Earth except that their profits continue to roll in.
