Has Oprah weighed in on this? Is she a member of that church?

One of the the talk-newsies said yesterday that she was a former member of that church, but she left a while previous because she did not agree with what was being taught/preached there.

Sharpton said Oprah was a member of that denomination

Exactly, just like his wink-wink attempt with the Canadian government.

...not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me—but what kind of America I believe in.

Excellent point.

Spinner on CNN:

Melissa somebody — Blacks and others (whites) do not share the same vocabulary.

[What a load of BS — Can you understand that, Melissa?]

Like my father used to say about politicians, “If his mouth is moving, he’s lying!” LOL

“Obama has consulted with up to 50 black church leaders”

I wonder if they were all Christian churches.

Since you’re going into prediction territory....

...I don’t think Obama will be the last African-American to run for president but maybe not for a long time.

....as for no Democrat convention this year....I’m not sure about that but I’ll see your prediction and raise you one.

I think that if the Dem powers reach the inevitable conclusion that Barack is UNELECTABLE, which he is and common sense should dictate, then I think they’ll make a move to get him out of there well before the Dem convention.

So you could be right about the lack of a convention, at least a formal one, but I’d have to think about it some more. But I think that someone, somewhere, or a bunch of someones, is going to make the logical conclusion that no way Barack can win the general election. And somehow, some way, waaaaaay before the convention, they’ll get him outta there.

The Dems are not going to want to provide such an attractive venue for the rioting that might be inevitable.

She was in the 1980’s but disassociated herself with the church. I assume it was because of the ties between Wright and Farrakhan and how Oprah would be perceived in that relationship.

Wow so Oprah left but Obama didn’t... Maybe Oprah should be the run running for president she showed better judgement.

He’ll deflect all of this with a “Why Can’t We All Get Along?” theme and drop it gift-wrapped into the laps of the white liberals and the media.

Unless he has a dog named Checkers, this ain’t gonna fly.

Oprah was a member of this church a long time ago and left. Reason? I believe it is the reason Obama should have left. She saw the bit time racist overtones going on there. But she isn’t saying anything and keeping her mouth shut. Oprah knows this is huge and can hurt Obama.

“Stephanopoulos: You've been a strong supporter of affirmative action.”

“Obama: Yes.”
