Obamessiah is so finished. Whites don't trust him because he sat for 20 years in a Kill Whitey church. Blacks don't trust him because he just denounced his 20 year association with his Kill Whitey pastor. The Dems are imploding. And I'm laughing.

I’m waiting for Obama’s loud mouth wife to go off and I think she will. She can’t help herself-she reminds me of Wright when it comes to radical and speaking out.

Somewhere, Hillary is smiling. And, McCain is smiling even bigger.

Obama's cross-cultural appeal, which, by the way, made some blacks suspicious of him early in his campaign, is largely because of his ability to make white people feel comfortable with his blackness.
so, Obama played the race, race card ?

"When he states and then amplifies such ridiculous proposition as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS, when he suggests that Minister Farrakhan somehow represents one of the greatest voices in the 20th and 21st century, when he equates the United States wartime effort with terrorism, then there are no excuses," Obama said during a press conference. I thought those were just 'snippets' taken 'out of context'. Now they are inexcusable, but you excused them two weeks ago! And the media won't call him on it.

Probably had a conference call with the Rev before to discern what he would say publicly.

I'm glad Obama had the integrity to denounce the ridiculous AIDS lie that the Wracist Wreverend Wright has been peddling.
I certainly don't intend to vote for him, but for the first time, he is starting to sound presidential to me.
Note to Mary Mitchell - 'Race' doesn't justify perpetrating such insulting (to anybody's intelligence) lies that the US Government is 'out' to make them sick or high on drugs.

And the notion that white pundits can dictate what constitutes unacceptable speech in the black church is repulsive to most black people. Oh, and people have no right whatsoever to feel offended when certain black churches label all whites as "devils", "slave masters", or "Klansmen?"

This is a sad day for Black America. At a time when African Americans are on the cusp of watching a barrier come crashing down, up jumps a divisive issue that is being driven by those outside of the black community.
As long as people like you continue to think in terms of "Black America" and "black community", we will never get anywhere.

It’s not about White America and Black America. It’s about Sane America and Moonbat America.

This is why he was tap dancing around dumping Wright. 90% of blacks were voting for him and keeping him ahead. No he has angered them and the white racist democrats won’t vote for him anyway.

This guy is such an political amatuer.
I have to admit. Hillary has played this one perfectly. He’s now in a no win situation and walked right into the trap.

There is no institution in the black community more respected than the black church. Past tense. Not "is", but "was"...
When Mr. Wright said what he said, and it was declared to be standard fare amongst 'black churches' I was shocked and disappointed.
This isn't a church, it is a racial club.
And besides, there is no such thing as a "black" church. Or a "white" church. Or brown, or yellow, or whatever.
A church is for all sinners who desire repentance and to worship the LORD.
A pox on these people who turn it into a house of division rather than a House of Prayer and Worship.

Blacks are sacrificing their dignity if they reject Wright’s asinine incitations? When arrogant loudmouths collide.

After reading several excerpts from two of his books that were posted on another thread I don’t have any feelings but contempt for this man. If the excerpts I read are accurate, I can only surmise that Obama believes the same things that Wright does regarding “White America” and Israelis.

Disclaimer: I am not going to vote for Obama nor do I wish anyone to do so. That said...
This is good that some are calling him an 'Uncle Tom' simply because it does illustrate the old black playbook of Je$$e, $harpton, and Farrahakahn; call any black who disagrees an 'Uncle Tom'. This is straight from the 60s and it might eventually open some eyes to the typical, and shallow, thinking that democrats have been wanting blacks to do for the past forty years or so. If Obama played this right he could point that out to his young generation of sycophants.
