... The Illinois senator's comments came a day after he denounced statements appearing on television and on the internet by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, pastor of the Chicago church Obama joined nearly 20 years ago.

Well, he's not going to able to use the excuse that he nodded off during the sermon and didn't here it. Those sermons would wake the comatose.

Obama was popular amongst white America because he did not flaunt being a Black candidate but instead a candidate who just happened to be black, and in being a uniter of all Americans and all parties. A non-Jessie Jackson.

The veil has now been lifted and the Nation is seeing him for what he really is. A racist.

Clinton said he didn’t have sex with Monica Lewinsky and Democrats took him at his word despite the blue dress. I would think Democrats would take Obama’s word that he wasn’t there despite evidence proving he was. If they don’t, then they’ll be guilty of holding a white man to one standard and a black man to another.

I think you are right about Pelosi trying to make Obambi the nominee. But I think she wants him to win. She figures she can walk all over him. With McCain she would have the problem of the veto pen coming out all the time, preventing the RATS from implementing their socialist agenda.

“now he is running like the muslim dog he is away from him.”

Please observe the most basic rules of proper taste: do not compare noble animals, dogs, with Mudslimes, other than to note how superior dogs are to Mudslimes.

Sure, he MIGHT have attended, but just how many people doze off in church and don’t hear the sermon? Happens all of the time. (/s)

With all this now coming out about his pastor, it makes what his wife said about not being proud of America until now a whole lot clearer.

You never published a big story on a Friday or weekend if you want it to develop “legs.” Matter of fact, that’s how you bury a story.

Start on a Monday and you’ll have an entire week for the news cycle to develop it.

“I can tell you that blacks who support him (basically 99% of the black population), do NOT give a damned what he has done or what is dug up on him.”

Blacks make up 12% of the national popultion. You get the millions of white liberals who back him now to realize that he’s a black nationalist and he’s toast.

Clinton and Obama - The Democrats have two of their most worthless, inept, inexperienced and notorious members competing for POTUS. What does that say about the rest of their party?

It says: They have no one of any worth amongst all of their leaders.
It says: all they can offer are their two most skilled liars, frauds, cheats, whiners, propagandists,finger-pointing, blame-game playing, criminals, socialist/communist lovers, terrorist supporters, Machiavellian, narcissistic, America-hating, white-blaming, anti-military, big business bashing, controversial and divisive members to stand and represent the Democrat party.

Out of the millions of Democrats and hundreds of Democrat politicians - these two horrid creatures are their top picks to run this country! There is not one good outcome of their primary. Not one of them who is without the seediest of associates, connections and background.

What a sorry, sorry state of affairs for today's Democrats and the U.S. when they can present no better candidate than the two who have no redeeming qualities and the main emphasis for their voters is that one is black and one is a woman. The only thing their candidates are known for is one says is that he will bring "change," (without elaborating that "change") and the other says everyone is being mean and picking on her (and brings her husband to her defense all the time)! Great qualifications!

How about contacting Obama through his Senate site and asking about this hatred from his friend?

I could be and hope I’m wrong, but I doubt if this will have any traction with the sheeple. A statement from Oprah, Nancy Pelosi, or whomever that it’s those mean ‘pubbies that are making all of this up will be sufficient.

Some Oregon labor union group just endorsed Obama this weekend, after all of this was breaking.

That said, if Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue knee-capping one another, perhaps McCain will win. I also have hopes that it might affect the undecided/non-affiliated folks who are less likely to vote for Hillary.
